She is the best teacher I've seen. I had stroke a few years a go and my short term memory is flawed. Watching her instructions over and over I fianally get it. Thank you, thank you!! Patti
I also had two stroke and was about to talk, write, walk etc again. I was always a crocheter and I was afraid I wasn’t going to be able to crochet again it been 9 years now, I had to learn to crochet again but with TH-cam I learned again and learn more stitches and techniques. I also improved my knitting and sewing. It was at my own pace, rewinding over and over again. TH-cam is great for learning new things and improving new skills for seniors. I hope they stop trying to change it.
I absolutely love that you hold your working yarn the same way I do. My grandma and aunt tried for so many years to make me hold it with my pointer finger sticking up in the air, and I could never get it. As an adult, I picked up yarn again and did it my way, and now I am so good at it, and discovering many people hold it alternative ways and that is absolutely OK!
Good morning from a sunny Sunday in Australia. Oh wow I just found your TH-cam channel thank you I haven't done any crochet in 50 years oh you are a great teacher ❤️🇦🇺👏
you are so precise with your crochet, which is great for me because I am a little OCD with my crochet and knitting. thanks again for another wonderful video. Your tips are so helpful
Hi Roz. I needed to tell you that I was taught how to crochet when I was in first grade by my great aunt. Since then I have taught many including my sister and mother-in-law that are lefties. Your videos are well-planned, very clear to understand, spoken with a calm voice but most of all, one can tell what a dedicated love that you have for crochet. Thanks for what you offer to all of us. We greatly appreciate it and we hope that you will continue. Hugsss, Kat.❤
Your words have touched my heart, thank you so much . It helps me to know that I’m teaching in a way that is easy to understand. That’s my goal each time I sit down and film. I’m never sure if I have or not.😅 Thank you , Kat ❤️
@@PlayHookywithMe I understand what you mean. Our society sadly dwells on the negative, therefore only speaks up when there are problems. I practice and prefer to acknowledge the positive. So, trust me, I am being truthful. ❤️
I really enjoy all the tutorials I've used on Play Hooky With Me. She is very thorough in her instructions & doesn't leave anything out. Very easy to follow.
Love your videos! I’ve crocheted since I was 12 and I’m 63 now. I learned things I had no idea about watching your videos and appreciate your time and the knowledge that you share with us. Thank you so much!!! ❤
I just wanna say thank you! I’m still a beginner. Started learning late August and was having so much trouble making granny squares. Last week I found this video and it’s so well explained! Already made one and it looks great. Thank you again, for sharing your knowledge with us ❤
Ive been shown how to do a granny square many different ways, every way has been different, but your way is def something I'll have to give a try, especially the rectangle, I've never seen a rectangle version like this before. Thank you for some new inspiration, got yourself a new sub.
Iv been trying for ab 4 weeks trying to find different videos to see which would work for me and this was the very best I recommend this so much I have now just made my first ever square and now I can make many more projects ❤
That is so smart. I never thought of slip stitching in second dc, also flipping the work makes a neater work. And never did a rectangle granny square. Thank you.
These are great tips. You do beautiful work. I too am obsessed with granny squares. I love to make charity blankets either row by row or a granny going around and around like this video. Glad to have these tips to make my squares neater. 💜💕💜
Absolutely genius idea I never ever flipped my squares and I have this project and wow does it make a difference no more wonky squares thank you so much great video.
I've been crocheting for more than 50 years. In 2003, I made an infinity granny afghan as a gift for my mother-in-law. Because I pooled my colors, it came out quite nice. Even as an experienced crocheter, it's possible to make something beautiful with such a simple pattern.
Thank you so much! I just started recently and have not been able to understand how to make a granny square until I found this video! This is super cool!!!!
Thank you for this amazing video. I had no idea flipping was a thing. I’m new to crochet n I love how simple you explain it!!! Watched the whole video now going to make a granny square with you, Yay!! 😊🙌🏼🌸
Thank you for an excellent tutorial on the Infinity Granny Square. I have been wanting to try this pattern for a long time and after watching your video, I'm ready to start! Love your channel! Thank you for sharing!
My Mom always had us flip our Granny Squares....I was surprised how many current UTuber teacher's don't even suggest this! It makes Granny's so much easier. Thank you for reaffirming this technique!
Oh my goodness - right sided to wrong sided - I’m new to crochet 🧶 and have struggled a bit with this when told on which side to work. Thank you so much for explaining, this is fabulous!
I've used your missed stitch method to repair heirloom blankets. It's priceless to be able to fix works of art of those long dead so the blankets can continue being used and loved.
Hi Roz, I'm an 83 yr. old woman who has begun to teach myself crochet and I found your videos the best of all, and I've watched many. I love your straightforward, clear approach to teaching. I want to ask if and how I can get printouts of your patterns. Thanks so much for presenting crochet clarity and many good wishes for success.
Oh wonderful! I’m so glad you have found it helpful. I’m so sorry to say that I don’t have anything written/printable yet. I’m a hobbyist crocheter, so writing patterns is new to me . But, I am going to work on this and if I can find a way to provide this , I will 💕
Finally I can make a blanket after 3 years of trying! Thank you from this 72 year old Grandma who taught myself to crochet at this age but it just never really clicked so that I could complete a project til now! Thank you!!!!
Thank you for excellent lighting and yarn colors! This was so easy to see exactly what you were doing! I've stayed away from g.s. due to the warping. I'm excited to try your tips!!!!
I am so happy to finally find a way to keep my square, a square lol. I have crocheted my whole life so it's about time to finally figure this out. Thank you so much! :)
The absolute best tutorial for granny blankets. Wow all hacks covered. On the rectangle granny….is the multiple 3? I’d like to make a table runner and need the first row to be longer. Awesome tutorial.
It has been several years since I made that so I’m having a hard time remembering how I increased that chain. It was 21 chains so I’m pretty sure it was a multiple of three , yes . 💕🧶
I am catching up on all of your older videos Roz and I must say your instructions on these are the BEST! I have been trying so many Granny Rectangle tutorials and some people make them so difficult for old lady (a 75 year old beginner) crippled fingers to follow. Your rectangle granny is PERFECT for me. Thank you so much for such awesome tutorials!❤🦋
Happy Thanksgiving ! I have to admit that I am utterly addicted with the Granny Square for its nostalgic quality and versatility. In this video, I share how the infinity granny/rectangle is truly one of the easiest blankets you can make if you are a beginner. Limited counting and only chains/ double crochets are needed to whip this up. This is also a great "go to" if you are a seasoned crocheter wanting to get some stash busting done! Hope you enjoy the video and let's play some hooky! xx
Hi Roz, I've been happily going along making your lovely granny rectangle when, horror of horrors, I discovered I'd omitted 2 double crochets from a cluster below where I was working. I went to look at your hack about mending this. I tried over and over to fix the error as you so beautifully demonstrated, but I just couldn't manage to do it. I shall now go quietly and begin to frog my way out of this. I could let one missing dc go, but 2 is terrible. I will continue to be a devoted follower of your site anyway. (Lee)
@@PlayHookywithMe Not the end of the world, but I agree sitting with someone is the best way to learn. I'll have to be more careful. The good news is that overall my afghan looks beautiful with all the color changes and I'm grateful to you and others on youtube that I was able to come this far by myself. P.S. My husband and I share this. He's John, I'm Lee. He doesn't crochet, just gives compliments.
Thank you! I love your tip to prevent warping. I'll certainly try that next time. Also, I've never made a granny rectangle and have always wanted too. I have tons of stash and tons of time. What am I waiting for? 😅
I have been doing my projects like this only my corners are a little different from everyone else. I've made several baby blankets for family. Once you figure out how to do it, it's easy.
I liked your comment about not "unseeing" a mistake. Because I do many different types of crafting and needle work I have made my share of mistakes. I am also a bit of a perfectionist so when I have made mistakes--crochet, cross-stitch, tiny bead weaving, painting--I obsess about it to the point of driving my poor husband nutty. Finally he asked me to show him the general area of a mistake and said if he could pick it out without me identifying it right away then it was probably worth trying to fix. He said if he couldn't find it, most people would probably not notice it either. That was about 20 years ago and this method still works for me. He has also learned a great deal about crafting himself!
5:38 this trick is ever so much easier than the way I had invented for myself, not having anybody to teach me or enough vocabulary on the subject to ask anyone who could tell me... a heartfelt thank you for sharing this with us
Great video - Love the flipping tip ! Never made a rectangle, I’ve made the regular granny square in the round and I’ve made granny square rows. Looking forward to a good stash buster ! new subscriber 👍
You are very good with your tutorial but I just wanted to let you know that when you attach the next color you are not slipping stitching but you are making a single crochet. It still looks good.
Wow! Game changer for the times when I see that I did 2 instead of 3 dc in a space. I always frog the whole row cuz I have to be such a perfectionist. Thanks for that tip.
Have made several of these for Christmas presents. And also.for women's shelters ect. And never had problems with the corners stretching out like that. Since I am only 1 crocheting in order to make as many as possible I work in the round.
When you say flip do you mean you do one row on the wrong side then flip to the front side and do a row and then flip back to the wrong side and do a row then flip back to the right side and do a row that wasn't very plain or do you do every row on the wrong side
1:50 I think I did clarify this but I’m sorry if it was confusing.- round one on the right side, round two on the wrong side and just keep repeating this sequence. Switching from right to wrong sides with each round counteracts the twist that seems to happen when working on one side continuously. I share in detail how to “flip” in the granny square tutorial so you can see what I mean. Hope that helps
I love your tutorial. I’m a new viewer and happy to say a new subscriber. I like your voice and the way you instruct without a lot of unnecessary talking.
Wow! Thank you! I thought it was me!!! I did a whole afghan in wanky squares! It has a nice swirly effect which looks cool. BUT it’s not was I intended!!!!! I want a PERFECT square! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!
So happy that i found you and i love the tips.So my question is when you do the granny square and you are flipping it each round which side would you sew in your ends ,or do you sew them in on bith sides.Thank you
Well what a hoot!! You mean granny squares aren't supposed to curl up like a cat in a basket!!?? I might find I don't hate my granny squares anymore. You should see the attempt I made for my grandson. Bless his heart... he says he likes it. 🤣
How awesome!💚💚 I LOVE your Granny Sq tutorials..I would LOVE to make this for Spring💚 I have all these pastel colors,, even a Monet Blend from Redheart..Even to make something like this for a birthday or Christmas blanket..Im intrigued by the what I can do color wise with these blocks You break it down- even though it looks complicated..LOVE It!! .I Like how you point out- the differencce in your results- this is so important!

I’m a newbie... learned my stitches and made few pairs of coasters n really itching to make some blanket .. n I found this video .. oh my god , this is awesome ... thank you for sharing this amazing blanket idea 😊
Oh I’m so excited that you are excited 😂💕👏🏻💕 I love reading messages like this. I hope you enjoy making your blanket , I know you will! 🧶❤️ thank you for telling me!
How do you know how many chains to start the rectangle granny ? I’m want to make one for a child, but don’t want it to be too long and narrow or too short and wide. Thank you.
You can easily turn any granny square into a cardigan. Make 6 angle instead of 4. Fold your hexagone into a L shape and flip it upside down: you have the right (or left) part (front and back!) so make another one. Then, place your 2 L side to side to form a 'T' before assembling the 2, sew the the horizontal line of the T separately (that's the top of your sleeves) then sew the back of your cardigan by sewing the 2 L into a T (let the front open!) here is your cardigan!
Hi Mary, the link is in the description box underneath the video. I love this needle a lot , I think you will too! I forgot to say , I was not able to easily find it in stores so I had to order it online. I’ve broken the smaller sizes so I need to order another pack 😂😅

@@donnarutledge3386 I second that nomination.
@@donnarutledge3386 oh wow! I accept with a big hug and thank you 👑 🏆 😂
Seriously, so happy you are happy and enjoying again 💕
Have made several of these for Christmas presents. And also.for women's shelters ect. And never had problems with the corners stretching out like that. Since I am only 1 crocheting in order to make as many as possible I work in the round.
Thank you so much for demonstrating the missed stitch hack. Couldn’t have come at a better time! ❤
I’m so glad! 🧶💕
When you say flip do you mean you do one row on the wrong side then flip to the front side and do a row and then flip back to the wrong side and do a row then flip back to the right side and do a row that wasn't very plain or do you do every row on the wrong side
1:50 I think I did clarify this but I’m sorry if it was confusing.- round one on the right side, round two on the wrong side and just keep repeating this sequence. Switching from right to wrong sides with each round counteracts the twist that seems to happen when working on one side continuously.
I share in detail how to “flip” in the granny square tutorial so you can see what I mean.
Hope that helps
I am an experienced crocheter and I find this to be a nice refresher on the granny rectangle thank you
I appreciate you telling me that , thank you !
Hello Noemi 👋... So how are you doing today?
I love your tutorial. I’m a new viewer and happy to say a new subscriber. I like your voice and the way you instruct without a lot of unnecessary talking.

Thank you so much! ❤️😀
Hi there how are you doing
Thank you for your instructions. I tend to crochet tight. I am using a 6mm hook and it doesn't lay flat. Should I use a 6.5mm hook?
Yes or add a chain between each cluster to help it flatten out .
If you are using the same yarn throughout, do you still flip the work or do you just keep going round and round
I flip the yarn. flipping regardless of one color or many is important for keeping the square straight.
Wow! Thank you! I thought it was me!!! I did a whole afghan in wanky squares! It has a nice swirly effect which looks cool. BUT it’s not was I intended!!!!! I want a PERFECT square! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!
Argh, frustrating, I know . 😂😖 Definitely not you ! Thanks for writing , I appreciate it! 💕💕
So happy that i found you and i love the tips.So my question is when you do the granny square and you are flipping it each round which side would you sew in your ends ,or do you sew them in on bith sides.Thank you
I sew them in on both sides- just wherever it looks like I can camouflage them the best.
Thank you! 😀💕
Thank you for your prompt reply😍
Thanks for the tip about adding the double crochet. Very helpful. 😇
So glad you found it useful! 🧶💕👏🏻
Well what a hoot!! You mean granny squares aren't supposed to curl up like a cat in a basket!!?? I might find I don't hate my granny squares anymore. You should see the attempt I made for my grandson. Bless his heart... he says he likes it. 🤣

How do you know how many chains to start the rectangle granny ? I’m want to make one for a child, but don’t want it to be too long and narrow or too short and wide. Thank you.
I would recommend you start with the chain count i show in the video - it will not be too big for a child 💕
@@PlayHookywithMe Thank you so much.
Thanks so much. This is very helpful & probably one of the best explained videos that I have found on this topic.
✌🏼💚🧶
I'm so happy you found it helpful, thank you! xx
I love your tutorial! Simple, easy to follow for beginners like myself. Thanks! Will be starting the granny rectangle now❤
Wonderful! 😀🙌🏻💕
You can easily turn any granny square into a cardigan. Make 6 angle instead of 4. Fold your hexagone into a L shape and flip it upside down: you have the right (or left) part (front and back!) so make another one. Then, place your 2 L side to side to form a 'T' before assembling the 2, sew the the horizontal line of the T separately (that's the top of your sleeves) then sew the back of your cardigan by sewing the 2 L into a T (let the front open!) here is your cardigan!
😀💕💕💕
Muy bonito!
I love your needle. Can you put it on your page , where you bought it.
Hi Mary, the link is in the description box underneath the video. I love this needle a lot , I think you will too! I forgot to say , I was not able to easily find it in stores so I had to order it online. I’ve broken the smaller sizes so I need to order another pack 😂😅
Thank you
💕
Love this! Is there anywhere I can find a pattern that will tell me how much yarn I might need for a lap blanket like one of these in your video?
I’m sure there must be one somewhere since this is a classic pattern but I don’t know of a specific one off hand. Sorry 😕
