Way to go Juan!!! What a fabulous way to honor your Mama. I’m 71 and my children honor me in many ways. They all feel that my yarn collection is their inheritance. Lol! 😂
Thank you soo much for doing this tutorial! So much easier than the one I’m working on. I have a granny square blanket in the works, and it’s just taking me absolutely forever to do!
Thank you Juan for a simple easy tutorial that's easy to follow. You must be an absolute joy to your Mom. As Moms we take such pride in the things our children do for us. Pure love. I have 6 children and they all make me so proud. ❤
I so love this, I think we are so hard on ourselves whenever we create anything. Thank God for your mother and you, I never frog anything I make, if I make a mistake, I can hide it WELL honey. I always say, crochet is like humans, we look good on the outside, but we all have imperfections if you look close enough at our lives, not what we say, but how we live. Yarn isn't perfect either, some colors fade, some yarn splits easily, some is roving (thin, fat, thin, fat), some is difficult to frog, some frogs on its own. Yes, we are just like yarn, so why should what we create be perfect, when we're not. Give your mom a huge hug and a big kiss for me.
Juan, we love how you took your mom's granny squares and attached them with so much LOVE! What an absolutely beautiful blanket!!! Your kindness and sincerity are so inspiring! Thank you for bringing more love and joy into our world through the wonderful works of art you create with yarn!
So sorry your mom doesn't see well 😢. Sending hugs to her and lots of hugs and love to you for helping her on her beautiful project! The mistakes don't mean imperfect, they add to the beauty and charm! ❤
Hi Juan. This is the nearest, and easiest method of joining granny squares that I have ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing it. I will be definitely using this method in the future. Excellent tutorial and teaching Juan.
I love Handmade items. To me they are not mistakes, they make the blanket unique. I was always told to make at least one mistake in my items by my grandma. Thank you for sharing. Have a beautiful day
Hi Juan gorgeous blanket and so special to you and your mom such a great son you are to her.a real blessing.i have been joining my squares that way for a while .it's the best way I think.looks great both sides.i love your channel.at 75 I'm trying to make a blanket for everyone in my family..so they will have part of me.hugs to your mom.💝💝💝
Great tutorial. I don't like joining granny squares but you make it look so easy. I am going to get some yarn out of my stash and start a blanket now 😀 Just one thing .. if i don't put a chain between the clusters on my granny squares, do I still do 3 chains between the single crochets? Thanks Juan.
Lovely to see a male crochet expert on TH-cam !!Great for the mom to have a son interested in the same hobby !! very rare for a man to follow SO called ladies craft work !! I have made granny squares with very different types of yarns ,given to me by my friend's left over from a large wall hanging project .squares are almost same sizes ,after joining them wondering how to finish edges !!?? can you give some ideas ?
This is such a simple method for connecting granny squares. I avoid doing grannies because I am so intimidated by connecting them. There are so many complicated ways. I can't wait to try this method. It was so nice that you saved your Mom's work by turning them into a beautiful blanket. Any imperfections are perfectly hidden.
This is incredible. I have never seen anyone do it this way. So great for people who don't love the tediousness of joining, or to help cover imperfections. Thank you so much for sharing! I can't wait to try this method!
Hi Juan just watched this tutorial Iam making a blanket made up of waffle stitch squares but don't like the way they are when I put them together so I am going to undo them and use the technique you used Thank you for this easier way of putting squares together xx❤
Well, you were so thorough in this tutorial that even though I've crocheted and joined granny squares for many years I still learned new techniques.🤩 Thanks for sharing all these good tips with us 🌹
Thank you , Juan for easy tutorial on how to join ! I have been crochet for a long time and dint know That I had to go through the fibers to sew in the ends ! I love watch you and your mom , she is Hoot ! ❤
Thank you, thank you, thank you !!!!! Your tutorials are the best !!!! This is so much less work than I thought it would be, you inspire me to do things I have never attempted and I have been crocheting over 40 years. Love your mom's work those little imperfections only make it more beautiful.
Thanks for this video. As a beginner, crocheter can't always get my square even because I trouble see at time do blurry vision. I either crochet too fast or miss my count. So next time I have a lot of granny squares, I use your video. It's easy to follow because you understand these of us who have a disability.
Hi Juan, Yeah! Had no idea that hook size mattered or to do the Chain 3 to join the squares. Easy to understand your instructions. Thanks for doing this vid!
Thank you for this lovely tutorial. Love your mom's granny's and her blanket. Have some granny's to put together. Will be using this method. Again, thank. Enjoy your videos......as well as Crystles😊
Hi Juan and right now I am working on my cottage core mosaic blanket and granny squares blanket and butterfly mosaic blanket and a baby blanket and I love your channel and your videos and if you keep making videos I will keep watching them and what is your favorite crochet project to work on right now and favorite types of yarn to used when crocheting and keep up the great work on your TH-cam channel and keep up the great work on your crochet projects
Hi Juan! Great video! I have 96 squares to join and wonder what or which way I should proceed? Blocks? Strips? I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. Thank you!
Nice tutorial, and I love the textured ridges myself, they border the squares well. Earlier this year I had to overhaul a 25 year old granny bedspread for a coworker,labor of love, took me 3 months.
You are so lucky to have your mom. I'd give anything to have my mom back. My dad had macular degeneration. I had to take him for a shot in his eye every 6 weeks. He lost his site in the other eye.
Thank you Juan. This will be a great help for me! You have simplified this so much! The four corners are my biggest problem and you just fixed it for me. So so grateful! Thank you, thank you again! Just love watching your channel! Sincerely Janey from NC
How sweet of you to help with your Mom’s project! She certainly has a reason for her crocheting imperfections. Many of us need this video just simply because of our many crocheting imperfections! I know I do. Granny and I aren’t the best of friends! She comes to my house to visit, I just make sure it’s just for short visits!!😂🧶🦽🧶🦽
Thanks for showing me how to do this as it looks easy and its better than i was previously taught by sewing each stitch. Now maybe I can go back and put some squares together and finish some blankets, Appreciate you.
This is super awesome! ❤❤ Such a very special blanket to cherish for ever!! Thank you Juan for sharing this method. I struggle with joing squares so much that ive quit making them but thanks to you i can now enjoy making them. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely love this!! So simple and effective. But I have a question - I’m guessing that since I don’t chain 1 between clusters in making the granny square, I should only chain 2 (rather than your 3) between the single crochet stitches in the join, yes?
I love how you take care of your mom. You are a great son and person.
An excellent tutorial...very informative! Good job Juan's Mum.....yerra star! Lovely blanket!!🥰👍
Way to go Juan!!! What a fabulous way to honor your Mama. I’m 71 and my children honor me in many ways. They all feel that my yarn collection is their inheritance. Lol! 😂

Thank you Juan!
Thst is very nice and so helpful. Thank you.

Thanks so much Juan. Joining has always been a struggle for me.
You will cherish that blanket. The rest of your life cause you and your Mama made it together
OK , everybody has to take a drink every time Juan says "what we want to do" .
Juan, we love how you took your mom's granny squares and attached them with so much LOVE! What an absolutely beautiful blanket!!! Your kindness and sincerity are so inspiring! Thank you for bringing more love and joy into our world through the wonderful works of art you create with yarn!
Your Mom's squares are remarkable considering her issues! Kudos for continuing with crochet st all!
You're an awesome son! So loving of you to take her memory squares and make it beautiful. Bless you!
I try to sew my ends in as I go too. And I always do the double knots too
Someone is still going to love it because it's made by hand with love. 3 on one 4 on the other still equals warm.
So sorry your mom doesn't see well 😢. Sending hugs to her and lots of hugs and love to you for helping her on her beautiful project! The mistakes don't mean imperfect, they add to the beauty and charm! ❤

Hi Juan 👋👋😊👋😅
Hi Juan 🙋🏾
Thank You SOOOO much,‼️‼️‼️ I couldn't wait to try, I LOVE it , so that's what I'm doing now 🥰🥰🥰
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I have not seen that method of joining. I like it!
Hello Juan The Yarn Addict!
You are a wonderful son! I just made a c2c bulky scrap blanket can you suggest a border for it?💕in Ohio
Love This method. I watched when it came out. I love doing different join methods. I quickly remembered this easy method so I'm giving it a try.😊
Crystal sent me and I am so glad she did! This was a super tutorial. I definitely needed it to complete many squares ! Thanks
Absolutely love this!! So simple and effective. But I have a question - I’m guessing that since I don’t chain 1 between clusters in making the granny square, I should only chain 2 (rather than your 3) between the single crochet stitches in the join, yes?
Sadly, I have some solid granny to put together. Love this idea though
Fantastic! And so well explained- thank you so much!
Love it!! When u first put them together to start r they facing each other to the wrong side? I could not see if they were or not?
U really helped that blanket out ❤
I think your mom did a fantastic job with those color combinations! ❤️
❤
Hi Juan, Love the color combinations of those beautiful squares your mom created! Excellent demo and explanations!
