      @Meema • You are a goddess! Wonderful explanation and great photography.
      My only complaint is your non-descript title. I would have preferred something that makes the video easier to retrieve when I need it, e.g., easy invisible join for granny squares.
      But much thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us.

    I use this method no matter what I’m working on. The tops of all crochet stitches look the same so this method works with everything. Thanks for sharing this with everyone! It truly does give any project an invisible and secure finish.

      I do tend to use this wherever I can as well! Makes thinks much easier when adding in more rounds or joining squares together

      Funny you should say that, because I think all old dogs need new tricks! True enough that there is nothing new under the sun but some of the old dogs just don't know everything and should learn a new trick. They think they know it all but alas, they don't, right?

    Game changer, thank you so much for publishing this tutorial. I'm in the middle of my first granny square project, a summer top for my daughter. The last stitch of the colours and the last row was a real problem for me as I'm not a routine crocheter (yet), as it either was a bump or I had one stitch too much. About half of the necessary squares are already finished, but the second half will look slightly better. Probably, no one will ever notice, but I know and my happiness with my finished project is very important 😂

      @meemamakes welcome, I like how you teach, direct and precise. I watch all of your videos, even if I know the methods. Do you have the cc translator made in for all languages. That helps to get views. Write in the video description CC all languages. Or make it in writing over all your tump nails. That brings more viewers. You deserve it. Also, ask in the middle of a video for a tumps up and ask a question, where we should answer it in comments. That brings the algorithm up. Just some tipps

    I use this method. More recently instead of tying off or elaborate weaving of ends I have been taking the end down through the nearest post and along the next row then needle felting the end into the row below hiding it under the stitches. This gives an almost invisible join and last through multiple washes without coming undone.

    I had to add another row of granny squares to a project and when I used the flat stitch join, this worked out perfectly when joining the new row of gs to the garment. I just did your “fake” stitch into the first join stitch of the project’s beginning join stitch that was already done.
    Hope that’s clear.
    Works perfectly for that purpose.
