🔥 Frequently Asked Questions:
Do you have a left handed version of this video? If you are left handed, you can convert ANY video on TH-cam yourself! Simply go to www.mirrorthevideo.com/ and follow the instructions to mirror flip any video to convert to left handed!
How much yarn will I need? This is a very tricky question to answer as there are so many variables! How much yarn you need will depend on which yarn you choose, the thickness of that yarn, your tension and how large you want your finished project to be. I suggest making a small sample first so you can gauge how much yarn you'll need. If making a crochet square, you can weigh your finished square to work out how much yarn it used!
How many squares do I need for a blanket? That all depends on the size of the square you are making and how big you want your finished blanket to be! I always advise making one square first then measuring the size of it. From there you can work out how many squares you will need to get the blanket size you want 😀
Do you have the written pattern? Yes! I have written patterns to accompany my video tutorials on my website here: www.hookedbyrobin.com The written pattern is generally released a week or so after the video tutorial to ensure there are no errors in the video itself and to make amendments in the written version if any are found. All the written patterns are FREE to access on my website
How can I print the pattern from your website? Do you have downloadable PDF's? Not at this time no. This may change in the future but for now, I only provide the written pattern directly on my website.
Can you remake this video so it is slower? If the video speed is too fast, you can slow it down! 😀 See this video on exactly how: • How to Adjust the Spee...
Why do you use American stitch terminology? I learnt using USA stitch terms, long before I even knew there was a difference between UK & US terminology! American terms are my "first language" so to speak. If you need a conversion chart, I have one here! www.hookedbyrobin.com/crochet...

You're such a good teacher and are always so upbeat and happy. It's a joy watching your videos and learning all your unique tips and tricks! Please keep your videos coming. Thank you!
I’m so glad your back, love your tutorials so easy to follow, thank you 😊
This is great! I've always struggled with edges but this makes sense. Can't wait to try it! Thank you for sharing your pretty talents :)
You are just amazing at giving us all the little tips which really helps. Thank you 🙏 I look forward to all your videos.
I enjoy your videos so much! Great tips as I tend to forget how I did something years ago. I love your hands they are so expressive! Thank you Robin!
Such an awesome Tutorial! This will help me tremendously as I seem to always have 'Puffy' Boarders! Thanks so much for sharing, Robin! 🤗🥰
You are so fast and confident and lovely voice and pretty hands!
Wish I had seen this video when I made my first granny blanket - I figured this exact method out by trial and error, mostly error, but when I found it I was very happy because it works beautifully
Love this joining technique. It really comes in handy.
Thank you! I struggle with edges and this was great 🧡
I tried this and it worked a treat. I love the colours you’ve use
Exactly what I needed! I was inspired by your blanket and am making one in the same colour scheme.
Love this border. Works very well to keep my work flat. Thankyou
Thank you! I'm using your video right now to do a boarder on my granny square blanket :)
Thank you , thank you , thank you . This tutorial has helped immensely. Now I know exactly what to do in that join and it’s perfect . Whoo hoo . 😊
You’re most welcome June, I’m glad it has helped!😃🧶
You are a great teacher.
Thanks a lot 😁 soon my granny square bed runner will b completed .this video helps me to do a good finishing
Great video, very easy to follow. Thanks
Thank you! This saved me! I had done a round of SC and it seemed fine, but on the second round of DC, thre corners started fanning out. I ripped out both rows and followed your video - perfect! I even reduced some stitches on my squares since the blanket is a sampler and not all the exact same number of stitches.
I completed the blanket! Thank you again!
All done. So easy to follow. Thankyou😊
You're a Genius!! Thanks for the Tip!
Thank you! I wish I'd watched this before completing two blankets with exactly the problem you described. I couldn't work out what I was doing wrong. Can't wait to do another and try this.
Thank you, just needed this for my border.
Fantastic lighting! So easy to see and you are so good! Thank you and I subbed! 🧶🧶🐑🐑🌷
That's awesome and very helpful. Thanks for the info.
You’re the best! Thnx so much! 🙋🏼♀️
Thank you. I've been using your method of join as you go for about one year now. I've never taken the time to watch the video explaining how to do border without ruffling. It is great and will use it now that I am getting more requests for Granny Square Cardigans.

Sigh.....damn borders! So tricky. Thanks Robin. Will give this a whirl. Love your tutorials
Thank you, let me know if it helps.😃🤗
Thank you for this
You’re welcome!🥰
Thanks for this tutorial; if I want to add another round do I work as the same of the first one on the corner? Thanks kindly
Thanks~~^^
You’re welcome!😃
This was a great solution for me. Just need to know now how to keep going around with border. Can u help?
I have granny squares (4 rows each) that I have joined together with a single crochet on the front side. I want to do this border to make the sides look straight. Will I need two rounds of this border (which makes a total of 6 rows for an even number) to do your scalloped border as a final edge? Thank you so much for your great videos! Donna
5:36 hey there! Question: im doing your popcorn flower granny sq blanket using 2 DC+CH1. For the stitch reduction at the join, how many stitches should i add? Is it 2 or 3? Thanks (love your tutorials btw .. you essentially taught me how to crochet so Thank you 😊)
Question. Would it work with a fpdc around the join instead of dc2tog?
Does the Dc2tog where the corners meet work for solid borders too?
Very beautiful thank you very much please what kind yarn you are useing ? 😍😍😚😚😍💞💞💞💞💞💞
It is Scheepjes Softfun 👍
Do you know how much yarn it would take to make this pattern of each?
💝💝💝💖💖💖
How would you add another row of double stitches (or UK trebles) to this row and keep the edge flat? Or is that not possible?
Once you've done the first round, you're good to go! If you wanted to continue with a granny style edge, you would carry on as usual OR if you wanted a solid crochet border of doubles (UK Trebles) you would add 1 stitch into each from below and in the corners do [2dc, ch2, 2dc] :-)
I hope all that makes sense! X
I am a bit confused on the other viedo you do the decrease different. So will they both do the same thing?
I do this after the squares are all joined 👍
Hi Robin pls can you help with this dilemma 😊I am making a granny squared blanket with a granny stitch border then smaller granny squares all around but I cannot grasp the math so my squares need to be odd rounds ,even rounds 🤯 joining the small ones to the outer granny stitch boarder they don't match up pls pls can you help 😢thanking you in advance if you can ❤xx
Hi can we add the scallop border to this flat edge ? Pls reply
Yes you can! You can add any border you like once you have done a round of this flat edging :-)
Could you just do this one extra row to flatten and neaten the blanket and leave it there, or would this only be done if you were then adding more border? Thanks
You can do whatever you fancy! There is no right or wrong way to finish a blanket 😀 If you wanted to pop on an extra round of granny clusters to finish it off, go for it 👍 You only need do this decreasing over the spaces to keep it flat row once, after that, any further rounds would be done as normal granny clusters worked into the gaps :-)
Hooked by Robin thank you! I just finished my first blanket last night and feel the edge needs just a little something, but I don’t like things too frou-frou. I was worried just doing this would be like putting on base coat paint and not putting the colour on top 😉
Hi! Amazing tutorial! So if I'd like to make a sc border, then I have to make a sc then a sc decrease and another single crochet where the squares are joined?😊
Or is it ok, if I make a sc into the first corner space and then another sc into the second one?
You can do either! You'll soon see if it's pulling in too tightly without the decrease :)
@@HookedbyRobin thank youu!☺️❤️
Haha joined granny squares are now to be called Johnny Squares 😆😆😆
😂🧶
I have problems joining at the corners
Hi Debra, this may help for future reference:
th-cam.com/video/6z8cpynq_Bs/w-d-xo.html
🤗🧶
@@HookedbyRobin I thinking have joining the corners. I have take the hook out like you do and then put the stitch back on the hook to complete the stitch.
Please slow down while crocheting while instructing others in your videos on how to crochet edges etc. This would be so appreciated by those of us who are still learning. Thank you for your wonderful videos. 👍🙂
Oops my bad they are the same.

slow down to teach someone
If the video speed is too fast, you can slow it down! 😀 See this video on exactly how: th-cam.com/video/LIRYwkkI_4Y/w-d-xo.html
you should say this is not a tutorial. If you are trying to help someone with this video, i would suggest slowing it down so that people can follow...
Brilliant!
Thank you Liz!😀
