- This method of joining is like magic! It is my go to method for joining squares when using one single colour - the bonus is you will only have 2 ends to sew in! Yep just 2 ends as you are joining the entire blanket with just one strand of yarn for the whole project. If the video speed is too fast, you can slow it down! 😀 See this video on exactly how: • How to Adjust the Spee...

🔥 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...

Hey Robin, thanks for this amazing tutorial! Where can I find the tutorial to make these granny square please? Thank you!
Hi, do you have a link to a border that I matches this type of blankets? Thanks
rima id use the double crochet that’s used on the squares but do one in each stitch
@@howtowithelizabeth7513 thanks🌹
Robin, do you have a link to that diagram you showed?
Thanks, Mari
Surprise surprise! Another maker here to sing your praises. I've always been a big fan of granny squares, but I never thought I would be able to get this technique down. Not only was able to get it down, but this was the most fun I've had seaming together granny squares in my entire life. Major kudos to you. I hope this video never goes away.
Thank you so much! What a truly lovely comment to read 🥰
I just found both of you yesterday and I’m thrilled!! Thank you both for great videos!
I love you both! You have helped me tremendously on my crochet journey. Thank you 🙏🏽
Still loving this video Robin! You are such a a great teacher with the patience of a saint! Much continued success to you, my crochet guru and mentor! ❤❤❤
I couldn't find the written instructions also the diagram you showed. I love your videos.
Oh my gosh!! This is the best method I have ever seen! I have been crocheting for 30yrs and have always always hated joining squares. This is brilliant!
I am so happy it helps Lucy! 😃🤗 Thank you so much for watching.x
Even though I've crocheted for 53 years I still love the basic granny square. This join technique is new to me. Just when I thought I had seen it all--I see something new. And seeing this has forever changed my joins! I'll never join the old way again! Thanks for your time. You are a credit to the crochet community.
It's such a great way of joining, it totally changed how I crochet! So glad it will change it for you too! 😄
I'm making my first ever granny square blanket, with 54 squares (6x9). This is a total life saver, super easy and quick. Thank you so much!!
Perfect Evan! I am glad it helps. 😃
I’ve made one granny square blanket, and joining the squares didn’t seem that hard at the time, but it turned out to be a NIGHTMARE ! I used the slip stitch method on the entire surface.
I can’t wait to do another granny square blanket. Maybe a blanket for each of my wonderful grandsons!!! My daughter’s son is 8, he used to watch Mikey from The Crochet Crowd, with me he was about 4-5 yrs old then, and he thought it was cool that a man could Crochet 🧶. We spent many days watching TH-cam Crochet Videos and I was able to hone my skills that I learned from my Grandmother when I was a young. She made every grandchild a granny square blanket and I still have my kids blankets from almost 40 years old from my oldest son!
My daughter had twin boys and I made several blankets that for them, including each of them have a “Call The Midwife.” I asked my daughter to please hang on to those so maybe they can pass them down to their children later in life so they always have something beautiful to remember me by when I’m gone.
So Sorry for writing too much but this really made me think good thoughts about having my kids and all the Granny Blankets!!!🥰😊💞🌹🌻🌺
The joining process was one big reason why I haven't made a granny square project. Even though this method takes a little more concentration, I💖 the idea of only having to secure 2 tails instead of a million.
this video is so clear and so well paced!!! im using this method to make my first blanket and i think it’s what i’m gonna use for all my future ones!! it’s so tidy. definitely tricky to figure out how to handle all the squares at first, but i know i’ll get a knack for it. thank you for this!
great tutorial. i volunteer for a foster center and volunteers have been knitting squares for blankets so the kids can have their own in their rooms, or for use in TV or therapy room. but nobody knew how to join them! so my lockdown future is full with 700 squares to join LOL thanks
I have not made anything from Granny Squares yet, but I've been watching Jenna Phipps, and she sent us here to see how you did this. Quite a system. I'll get some squares made and come back to watch this again, and follow along. I subscribed. Thank you for showing us how you create these beauties.
Lovely to have you here, thank you so much for subscribing! 😃
FABULOUS! I have saved this video for when I"m ready to join! Your cat had me searching for MY cat who I thought was locked out the house somewhere, then you explained and solved the puzzle!
I've been crocheting off and on for most of my life. I'm 61 yrs old now. I've never seen an easier way to join squares. I'm saving this video to use when my current blanket is ready to join. This looks so much easier than the more traditional method.
After over 50 yeas of crocheting I have never seen anything as good as this. I absolutely hate sewing all those ends in. This is fantastic. Thank you.
Thank you so much Janet! 🥰🧶
this is honestly the best video I've seen on joining granny squares, I didn't even have to finish the whole video to connect them all, thank you soooooo much.
This is the first time I have seen this method and I have been crocheting for a long time! I haven’t done granny squares in a long time because I was so tired if sewing them together, but you have made it tempting for me to try making another one! Thank you so much for sharing!!❤️
This video is exactly what I needed! I’ve been watching it over and over as I connect 120 squares. ❤
I am so pleased it has been helping!🧶
I just finished making 42 large granny squares and was just about the join them all the old fashioned way, with all the boring sewing-in that entails. Then I found this technique, and I can't thank you enough!!! It's brilliant, and it's saving me hours.
Pheww! 😃 I am glad your found this video Lizzie, it definitely saves lots of time! x
I've been a crocheter for a very long time. This unique way of joining hexagons without sewing block to block is truly amazing. They are very decorative and lay flat. Thanks Robin for new ways of achieving old things.
Best video ever!!! Thank you for this. I've been crocheting for 40+yrs and never done granny squares until recently. I'm to the point of joining all my squares and have watched so many videos on joining squares that my brain hurt. Then your video came up and I seen the thumbnail and was like that's what I want my blanket to look like. So now I'm into making granny square blankets even more now. You have me hooked on this method.
Thank you so much Angel, I am so pleased my videos have helped.😃
Just got back to crochet after a 30 year hiatus and was looking for how to join all of my granny squares... Came across this and LOVE it! Thank you for making it so simple to get the hang of!
You have just given me the biggest gift. I am so motivated. I have hundreds of unlined grannies. I'm going to have a new vest to wear Monday! This is the video I've been waiting my whole life to watch. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Awwh, you’re so welcome Melanie!🤗 A vest sounds amazing. What colours did you use?
Also I love your way of making Granny Squares in that you start with just one set of double crochet in the corner. I find this method the best as starting/ending are almost invisible 💜
Thank you! 🥰
Love it! I hate having to sew the squares together and this is a wonderful alternative. Thank you so much for sharing!
I'm so lucky that I am one who learns quickly on how to do things crochet. Truly count my blessings. I watched this video, was a tiny confused at first with the joining of the second row, but once I finished watching it, it all became clear to me. Thank you very much for this! Now i can finally replicate a granny square blanket a woman who was like a great grandmother to me made 70+ years ago! So happy!
Dear Robin,
I crochet for many years but I never knew how to continuously join the granny squares. Your video is very clear and helpful. Thank you very much.
This is how I learnt to join granny squares from my grandmother 40 years ago. I love granny squares and this join keeps the beauty of the granny stitch continuing. I've made baby blankets this way and receive many compliments on the look. Thank you for sharing ♡
I've just started crocheting in the last two weeks and I'm making a granny square blanket but had no idea how to attach them all together. This is perfect and you're so good at explaining how to do it, thank you.
I am glad some body use this method for over 70 years i have been joing my grany SQUARE this way I am so pleased to see you are a good teacher good and cleare God bless you keep up teachig
Love!!! Love!!! Love!!! I have been crocheting for over 50+ years. I’ve made plenty of granny square projects and joined them all by whip stitching the squares together. Im now in the process of making many lapghans for seniors…this is absolutely genius!!! I love granny square and this has taken my passion for them to a new level especially now that I have a wonderful new way to attach them. I can’t say thank you enough for this tutorial. Your instructions and demonstrations are great…you rock!!! Stay safe and be blessed ❤
Awwh, thank you Sandra! I’m just glad it helps as I know joining granny squares can get tedious but this way is much easier.😃🧶
This is one of the best crochet tutorials I’ve ever seen! Thank you so much for sharing- it is magical! ❤
Thank you so much Amanda!🥰🤗
Genius join! Love it! Working on a granny square full size bedspread and was searching for methods to join and found your tutorial. Sooo glad I did! Thanks so much!
That sounds amazing Beth and you’re so welcome! 😃🥰
Zip, zipping along with you!! This is truly the easiest and neatest way to make this blanket!! *smiles* Thank you!!
You are the first person to explain the technique and it makes sense. Thank you, now I truly believe I can do this. ☺
I've been crocheting since age 9, I am now age 62, and THIS is a great video and method to use!!! Superb!
It's a game changer for joining squares! X
Thank you for this, yes it was a bit challenging but i took it slow and wasn't afriad to rip out. I did mess Up in two of the corners but i would have had to frog too many squares so I will compensate by adding in extra stitches when I get to where they are. I was following another pattern but I did not understand her written directions and couldn't find her video on how to join them. So I searched and found your and this method is THE BEST. I wish I knew this a few years ago with another pattern I made..but now I know. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Love your channel!
Awwh, thank you so much! 🥰 I’m just glad my video has helped honestly. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment too.x
I have been crocheting since 1965 and I love making granny squares except for joining them to make a finished product due to all the ends I would have to weave in. With this method I look forward to making a completed project now. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and for the clarity of the process. You are the best.
Hi Karen, I’m so glad it helps. You may like this video too for joining them:

😃🤗
Oh my goodness, thank you! I finished a bunch of squares and needed a clean and easy way to join them. It’s looking fabulous! Thanks again, and happy new year to you.
My mind is blown just as you said!! I've watched multiple videos on how to join & never comprehended. I've seen the patterns & not been able to understand either. You're a fantastic teacher. The way you laid your squares & described was perfect!! I'm looking forward to trying this method on my next blanket. Thank you so much!! Big hugs!!👍❤
I am using this method now on my first Granny Square afghan. I have always been a little intimidated by joining squares. Your tutorial is awesome and you go at a nice speed. I took it step by step and rewatching certain sections I am now able to understand the process. I just had to break it down I can already see my afghan finished in my mind. Thank you for another great video.
It is so much easier Julie isn’t it?😃 I’m so glad it helped and enjoy your crochet.x
Thank you so Robin. I have never made a granny square blanket like this. I'm going to give this a try. I have been crocheting a few years and there us always something to learn or a different style. I love your style of teaching you show everything and make it so easy to learn. Thank you for your time. Live and peace Kerrie 💖
Yay! 😃 Let me know how you get on and thank you so much Kerrie.🥰
I just finished my 9-square mini blanket with you! What a great video. Very clear and easy to follow. Thank you so much.
I love this! I'm going to get back into doing granny squares! Thank you so much for this!
WoW! after years of sewing 100's of granny squares together this is revolutionary!! I am ENJOYING joining my 120 granny squares - thank you so much for sharing this - great instructions!!
I thank my lucky 🌟 the day I found you, I have learned so much, your a fantastic teacher,I am now turning circles into squares and joining them together . Wow so pleased , thank you a million times ,
This is such a lovely comment Rosemary, thank you!🥰🤗
On my final row os squares , this is so easy, excited to start border soon, thank you so very very much.
WOW!!! Wish I knew this method sooner. I love my granny sqaure blankets. This will be a big time saver and no millions of ends to sew in. Thank you!! You did an amazing job with the video and explained everything very well.
This literally changed my life and now I want to do everything in granny squares! I’m still really new to crochet, but this made everything so much easier! Thank you!
Thank you! After wayyyy over thinking a few spots, and re-playing segments a gazillion times, this has been super helpful to get my head wrapped around. A gazillion thanks for taking the time to video this game changer!
THANK YOU! I usually avoid projects with more than a few joins, now I'm ready to tackle that granny square coat :)
I love this way of join as you go. I'm definitely going to be following along as soon as my squares are complete.
it's my favourite way to join for sure!
I am making a queen sized granny square afghan. I am afraid that the weight will pull the squares and the jayg won’t be strong enough. Thoughts?
@@marysmolarz3741 cherry heart YT made a granny square similar to this one in king size. She held it up and no worries about the weight. Her blanket is called battenberg, after the cake.
Now that I have discovered this method it will be no longer a big deal to join granny squares. You've made it so easy with your simple explanation .thanks a million.
Aw! Steve is getting worried because she cannot figure out WHO you are talking to! The 3rd Meow was "WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO!?" then... "Never mind, can I get a treat please?" Thanks for the video! It was great, I have a whole bunch of granny squares that my aunt gave me and I really did not know how to link them together. This is perfect! (Meow to Steve!)
😸
You’re such a great teacher and I love your accent, I’m from the US. I couldn’t help but giggle when Steve wouldn’t stop haha. Excellent tutorial, thank you for teaching me something new!!
Steve is a nightmare - she always has to get involved! Typical tortieshell! 😂
She’s making the soundtrack to your film! 😂😂
Just used your tutorial again, it's so awesome and easy to follow! I very much appreciate the time stamps. That made it so easy to go to where I needed a quick refresher. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
This is GENIUS! It completely upped my blanket game and changed my life for the convenient better. It has saved me tons of yarn. 🥰 Thank you so much for this tutorial.
I was think about a nice, decorative and simple looking join for granny square cause my má just learn to do a granny square, I never seen her do one for as long as she crocheted and she told me she did a similar one long time ago, and I was think of something like this. I love your video. Simple and easy to understand.😇
I just watched the granny square tutorial and then this one! I just wanted to say you're a very good teacher and these videos were super clear and helpful!!! im in the process of making my very own blanket and im very excited! thank you for your videos
So glad I found this video!! I've never understood how to do this until now. Thank you ❤
Thank you for this tutorial, I have never been happy joining granny squares, but today just joined a granny blanket that I am happy with.
I've made granny squares as I learn from seasoned makers but had no interest in the stop and go of stitching them together, until now! So grateful to you for sharing your techniques and knowledge!
This is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for, thank you so much for sharing!!!
You’re so welcome Har, I’m glad it helps.😃🧶
this is awesome.. I love how you do this im going to try to join my squares this way, thanks so much for this..
Thanks for sharing this. I always use JAYG and try to work out the best way to avoid starting with a new piece of yarn. Whoever came up with this originally is a genius and you explained it brilliantly. Just joined all my squares with one complete 100g ball of DK. 😊
Fantastic and it does make crochet projects so much easier.😃🧶
I absolutely loved this tutorial. I was confused at first, but I need to try it myself to learn and once I started, it was super simple! I’ve nearly completed my sunburst scrap blanket using this method and it’s my absolute favorite!!
Just finished making a granny square coat using this method and it came out great, thanks
Thank you, Robin! This join is a game changer for me! I love grannies but hate the joining..... at least until now. It is actually immensely enjoyable and so much quicker than some of the other joins I have tried.
Absolutely Helen, it is just finding the way that works for you. I’m glad you’re enjoying it!😃
Thank you so much, I love how you have explained everything. I am new to granny squares and wanted something that was easy and looked good!
thank you for this video! i had a stack of granny squares and had no idea where nor how to begin joining them. your instructions made it so simple. 🧶😊
I have watched dozens of continuous join methods and they just did not click in my brain. This one is exceptional. I wish I could take you to lunch as a thank you. You may have changed my world going forward ❤
Awh, thank you! I’m just glad it has helped Deborah!😃🥳 x
I’ll have to watch it a few times..but really it’s me not you...💕❤️💕I love the way this method looks!
Thank you very much for this tutorial. You’re a very good teacher. I’ve subscribed to your channel and will watch again.
OMG>!!!!!! what a wonderful way to join the squares. I’m in the process of making a granny square baby blanket and I’ll use your technique join the squares . I see that Tony from TLC has given you the.👍. Toni, herself, is excellent teacher. Thank you so much. I really enjoyed your tutorial from beginning to end.
That’s so lovely to know, thank you so much!😃🧶
I love this method. I don't do many granny squares but when I do I always come back to this video (which I have bookmarked) to refresh on the method. It's so clever and yet so simple. Thank you for putting out this video. I'm not sure how many times I've watched it, but it's quite a few. ❤
You’re very welcome Robyn, I am so pleased you have found it useful.🤗🧶
I love your video, just tried the technique with 2x4 rows and it worked great, thanks!
Yay! 😃 I’m pleased it helps.x
Thanks Robin great tutorial, this is going to really help me speed up when joining my granny blankets. 👍💜💐🙂
LOVE this video!! I’ve watched a lot of videos explaining how to connect granny squares but this is the clearest and easiest to understand. Using for my first granny square blanket which seemed intimidating at first, but not anymore thanks to this video!!
I have followed your instructions to make a beautiful blanket - thank you - your instructions are so clear and easy to follow!!!
You’re so welcome Jo!😃🧶
Really cool glad I came cross this video
The only thing that kept me from doing
A granny was the connecting of the squares
Will take another go at the granny
That's superb!! I will teach it to my students in the very near future! Thank you!
God bless you! I watched so many videos before this one and all of them showed this method by joining the last square, but you started from the first and it all makes so much sense now!
I am so glad it has helped Muntaha! 😀🤗 x
I felt I needed to share. I constantly come back to this video, every time I have a request for a granny blanket. I use this join every time since you introduced it to us. I even share it in all my Facebook crochet groups whenever someone new asks how do you join granny's!!! Thank you so much for sharing this technique...it is a wonderful easy way to join.
Love this method, never made a granny square afghan before cause I didn't like how they were joined!! Thank You
This was exactly WHY I found Robin; just made a zillion blocks during recuperation from surgery (gotta accomplish something ya know--can't just sit!) and hadn't a clue how to join them. So GLAD to have lucked out and seen this tutorial! :)
You have completely made my day. Love this!!!
Dear Robin, You have totally changed the crochet game for me,&I am eternally grateful 🙏 It wasn't easy I'll admit, but for anyone reading this comment I have to say YOU CAN DO IT DONT GIVE UP!! Thanks Thanks Thanks Robin!! 😊❤
What a wonderful comment, thank you so much Cindy!🥰🤗
Very young clever and well demonstrated. I have a ton of granny squares from a swap years ago. I didn’t want to join them together but now I will. Thanks for sharing.
This technique is just what I was looking for. Thank you.
Fantastic!
I can't believe how fast you work.
Olympic!
