Thank you for this video. I make a lot of Granny Afghans. I like this method the best. It looks so much nicer. I am 64 years old and have been making Granny Squares since I was 7 years old. I have tried different ways to sew them together. I like this one the best.
Thank you for once again making something so simple!! I'm using my granny squares like pixels in a big video game bla keto and I just wasn't happy with the "seam" stitch...this is so much better! And your video is just so fluid and easy to follow-as always. Thank you so much again💖🌻
I have my first blanket of squares to put together in a couple of weeks and really wasn't sure the best way to put them together, this is perfect..thank you!
Thank you, Sarah Jayne! This is the video I needed for the join on my granny square blanket. I have looked and looked, but your instruction is the best! Note from a retired teacher: You are a very good teacher. ox
This is a good idea just in case someone runs out of the color yarn that they're working with and they have to use something else to sew their project together.
Thank you for sharing this video. I have been making afghans for a long time but never really knew how to sew the squares together. I used this technique on the afghan that I am working on and what a difference!!
Thank you so much for making your tutorials! Your’s are very good, so easy to follow & slow enough for me to follow. I’ll be using this join today for my Circle of Friends squares. Again, thank you so very much! You are awesome 👏👏👏
Very helpful tutorial. I am definitely not the best at joining squares, but this was a very clear instructional and will use it to join my next granny square blanket:)
Thank you for this video I definetly think this will help with my seams in clothing, I’m new to crochet and the seams haven’t been so great, they end up bunched up but I understand practise makes better❤
Thank you for this video, I think it will help a lot with my seams in clothing, I’m new to crochet and with certain colours I can’t really see and end up going through it twice or the seam ends up bunching
This is a wonderful, clear tutorial. One question: once you're done with this direction and you go in the perpendicular direction to join the squares on the other sides, what do you do when you reach the joins that you've already made? Do you hop over? Do you go through? What's the move? Thanks! ❤🧶
To finish off you just need to snip off the end of your yarn, leaving a long tail, and sew in the end. I have a tutorial showing how to sew in ends here: th-cam.com/video/6qXEcQj_0L0/w-d-xo.html 😊
Thank you, I’m glad you like it 😊 Once you’ve joined your squares you can sew your ends in - I have a tutorial that shows how to do that here: th-cam.com/video/6qXEcQj_0L0/w-d-xo.html
I have a quick question…I’m not sewing granny squares I’m sewing chain squares and when I see them to make a sleeve for my project the squares bubble creating a non-flat sleeve… am I doing anything wrong and how can I prevent this
Have you blocked your squares before joining them? I would recommend doing so if not as this will help them lay flat; you can also block the sleeve once you've joined all of your squares together 😊
Sewing in the ends is where you use a darning needle to sew in the long tail ends of yarn left over when you finish your work - I have a tutorial showing how to do so here: th-cam.com/video/6qXEcQj_0L0/w-d-xo.html 😊
It doesn't matter how many chains you have in the corners, as long as each square matches 🙂 You would just join through one chain stitch that is closest to the side you're joining together. Hope that makes sense!
You should definitely sew in your ends, otherwise you risk all your hard work coming undone. I have a tutorial demonstrating how to do that here: th-cam.com/video/6qXEcQj_0L0/w-d-xo.html 😊
This makes it look so quick and easy! But as soon as I go to join more squares, I'm totally stumped. What comes next if you're joining rows of squares?
You just need to carry on adding squares in exactly the same way; working row by row (so for your third row you will be joining to squares that are themselves already joined on the bottom) and then working along the columns last 😊
You can just finish this off as you would normally; I like to chain one and then cut my yarn before pulling through. You can then sew in your end, and I have a tutorial showing how to do that here: th-cam.com/video/6qXEcQj_0L0/w-d-xo.html 😊

You are very welcome :)
Finally a very simple explanation for joining squares.

Just in time!! I was needing some instructions on joining squares for a baby blanket!! Thank you so much!!
You're very welcome 😀
Yes happy we found this video!

Thank you and you are very welcome 😀
Totally agree!
This is wonderfully genius! Thank you this is great for all joining with no ridges, not just for granny squares. Thank you
You're very welcome 😀

I used this method to seam up sleeves on my sweater. Looks great!

✨Neat✨
Wish this come up sooner. When I was doing my sweater. Next time, I'll use this method. 😊
Thanks for sharing. 💖

Love this. This was the look I was going for and so neat, easy and straight forward. Thanks very much! 🙏
You are very welcome :)

Glad it was helpful :)
to anyone whos struggling to do this- my reccomendation is to use stitch markers or safety pins to hold your corner stitches to eachother!
I used a binder clip to hold them together!
@@ashleykocienda2107 that’s smart too!!
Thank you for a clear explanation of this process.
You are very welcome :)
You are such an amazing teacher, thank you
You're very welcome :)

Thank you! 😊 I normally work over the top of the seam I’ve already made.
This is the best explanation. Thank you! Do you have a certain way you like to knot the ends?
Thank you! 😊 I like to sew in the ends to secure them - I have a tutorial that shows how to do that here: th-cam.com/video/gpD-ZhfZGao/w-d-xo.html
Thanks 🙏 Sarah Jayne 😍 happy Sunday Ella be full of fun after grandparents visit😜
You're very welcome and Ella has a great time 😀
Could I crochet the 2 back stitches with a slip stitch instead of using the needle to whip stitch them together? Thanks!
Yes you can, the join may have a different appearance to how it would look if you were to sew them together though 😊
Thanks for your helpful advice. At this point my hands have trouble handling a needle. Your videos made my day!!!
This is a very nice way to stitch the squares together, but how do you finish it off? Do you have another video showing that?
To finish off you just need to snip off the end of your yarn, leaving a long tail, and sew in the end. I have a tutorial showing how to sew in ends here: th-cam.com/video/6qXEcQj_0L0/w-d-xo.html 😊
@@bellacococrochet Thank you for the video. This helps a lot.
Thank you! I used this on my infinity scarf! It’s very pretty like this.
You’re very welcome 😊
Loved this video! Just a quick question: If I was just joining 2 granny squares like in your video how would I fasten the top and bottom off?
Thank you, I’m glad you like it 😊 Once you’ve joined your squares you can sew your ends in - I have a tutorial that shows how to do that here: th-cam.com/video/6qXEcQj_0L0/w-d-xo.html
Is the yarn attached to the yarn ball, or have you cut pieces?
Great technique! Thanks for sharing!🤗🤗
Hello! Love the invisible seam for joins! However, I have one question, how do I end the join?
When you’ve reached the end of the row that you’re joining, just snip the yarn (leaving a long tail), pull it through and sew in the end 😊
what do you do with the ends of that thread? just weave it in like normal?
Thank you so much for this video love it!
You are so welcome :)
Can I please ask after you sew a pair of blocks together do you fasten off?
Once you’ve sewn all of your blocks together you can cut your yarn and sew in the end securely 😊
What do you do with the strings at the end
What do I do with the ends? Do I tie them or just leave them?
You should sew the ends in to stop them coming undone. I have a tutorial to show you how to do that here: th-cam.com/video/6qXEcQj_0L0/w-d-xo.html 😊
Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊

Would this work on the super solid granny square too? X
Yes it would, you can use it to join all sorts of projects 🙂
Will this work for corner to corner squares? If not, do you have a suggested method to join them? Thanks!
Yes, you should be able to use this method no problem 🙂
Amazing tutorial
Thank you
You're very welcome 😀
How much yarn is needed per square to join?
Very nice
The way it’s done it kinda looks like a whipstitch but only catching the outer loops only.
How do you finish off
To finish off you would cut your yarn and sew in the ends as normal 😊
What do you do with the ends?
You should cut the ends and weave them in as you would normally. I have a tutorial showing how here: th-cam.com/video/6qXEcQj_0L0/w-d-xo.html 😊
when i do this, the gap in between the outer loops looks wider than yours, how do i change this?
If you pull the yarn tight as you thread it through the loops you should find it closes the gap 😊
This is so pretty new friend Ruthie
The corners on my squares only have 2 chains. How would I join in the corners?
It doesn't matter how many chains you have in the corners, as long as each square matches 🙂 You would just join through one chain stitch that is closest to the side you're joining together. Hope that makes sense!
You can still see it?
I used a different colour so that you could see what I was doing :)
@@bellacococrochet what if I am trying to join two different color granny squares?
So you don't secure the ends ?
You should definitely sew in your ends, otherwise you risk all your hard work coming undone. I have a tutorial demonstrating how to do that here: th-cam.com/video/6qXEcQj_0L0/w-d-xo.html 😊

My needle must be broken. I copied this and mine doesn't do that....
My granny taught me this join 😌 but ... I was 9 or 10 +- 40 years ago . So ... I can't remember how to secure these ends 😪 😅 😂
I have a tutorial here which shows how to sew in your ends: th-cam.com/video/6qXEcQj_0L0/w-d-xo.html 😊
That's not invisible you've just shifted the problem to the back. You need to join in the posts.
I wish you would've shown how to tie it off so it doesn't unravel 😔
You can just finish this off as you would normally; I like to chain one and then cut my yarn before pulling through. You can then sew in your end, and I have a tutorial showing how to do that here: th-cam.com/video/6qXEcQj_0L0/w-d-xo.html 😊
There's videos for that. It's really easy. Try harder and I bet you'll figure out how to
How do you tie off
To finish off you can simply cut your yarn (leaving a long tail) and then pull it through with your hook. You then just need to sew in the end 😊
