It is 3/21/24 at 630 pm..I just wanted to thank you for how well you explain your granny square pattern..you do an amazing job I have been crocheting for awhile and I get so frustrated with them..I can't tell u how happy u Made me I stumbled on ur video and I just love how patient u are and I just wanted to thank u especially the 3 doubles in the corner ..game changer ...thank u DonnaLee
Thank you for this explanation! I instantly understood what you were showing, and finally made the perfect granny square for my cardigan with no weird corners or edges. Truly a lifesaver.
This is the BEST Solid Granny Square EVER!!!! It makes more sense than doing a slip stitch to get to the corner and it actually looks like a square! Well done, excellent tutorial. Bravo! Skipping that hidden stitch from the left side of the corner is the best ever! I'm in my mid 70's and its true, you can teach a new way of doing this to someone who has learned old fashion ways of crocheting. Hello from Brookings, South Dakato.
This tutorial is spectacular….5 Stars! I have watched (and tried) at least 6 other videos and the results were all disappointing until now! Again, bravo for such a great technique. Now I can start my solid granny square blanket with confidence that it will be great! Bless you
You are awesome!!! I consider myself to be an intermediate crocheter. I’ve made many granny square and sunburst square blankets. This seamless pattern has had me so stumped. Round 1 is a breeze but then the corner space from row to row just gets confusing. I tried several tutorials over and over and just couldn’t get it. YOUR tutorial took a completely different approach to the corners, ending corners and beginning new rounds. So clear and easy to understand and simple to quickly commit to memory for speed and accuracy. I’m subscribing to your channel and thank you so much for your beautiful work.
Thank you so much for being so patient! This is my third crochet piece and it is so hard to find an TH-cam video like yours that really cares about repetition! Learning how to crochet has been an adventure and this learning process is repetition, repetition, repetition. And you get that! Thank you so much!
I can't appreciate your video enough! The way you taught this just made this finally "click " for me! After MANY searches for multiple variations of the granny square, you're way was just made the most sense to me, even after a few years of knowing how to do simple crocheting, I'm finally opening up to more different types of stitches and creations always too worried about not understanding the crochet language, but now after your tutorial I feel confident about doing a little more advanced squares THANK YOU!!!
It’s 12:07am, November 18, 2024 and I cannot believe that not only did I watch this entire tutorial but I was deeply deeply informed. I can’t wait to try making my first granny square. You definitely got my follow, thank you so so much for the thorough explanation 🫶🏼
Thank you so much for the clear and concise instructions. I am really looking forward to learning more from you. Your work is super inspiring to me. Thank you very much. ♥️
I just started crocheting and I have problems with granny squares, or rather with the magic ring. You are the first one who explained where to hold the yarn tale. I will try this tomorrow. Thanks.
Thank you so much for this simple tutorial. I’m excited on my first granny square ❤. Other videos were making me frustrated after trying several times but yours was so easy. Thank you again for your calm voice on teaching how to do a granny square 😍
Oh my gosh I am so glad that I found your TH-cam video! I have been struggling for the past three weeks trying to find granny square tutorial that didn’t cut off after doing the first row saying go back and do the rest of the three sides cause that’s not how my brain works and I was finally able to make my first ever granny Square!!!!!! all things to you!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤ do you definitely have gained a new subscriber!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for this video, I just found your channel BEST SQUARE EVER, I have been crocheting for over 20 years I love squares but they come out different every time until I found you, it is 10/16/2024 at 4:57 am I am up working on square number 35 of many, I hope my joining goes just as easy, thank you for this tutorial
So glad you liked the tutorial and I am the same - staying up late because I want to keep crocheting. I have a playlist for joining techniques for squares I'll link for you so you can have a look at some different methods: th-cam.com/play/PLdqx2uaX6beGNB9Vt61Cm68_tnU2QmVhO.html
Thank you so much for this video. I’m doing daisy squares and have completed 2. Using the method in the pattern the joining round area was very visible. I have 15 to make in total so will using your technique from now on. I just can’t understand why everyone doesn’t do your method. I’ve watched loads of videos, and never come across it before. ❤
Thank you!! Finally I've got something. I mean, mine is certainly far from perfect 😂 but it resembles a square, when all I had was a knot of yarn before!
This is so helpful! To make a hexagon instead, would you just add a couple more sets of 2 double crochets and corners in the magic circle to begin with? I can't find anyone else who does corners like you do and I love that style
I’m actually currently working on a tutorial for hexagons with these sort of ch, sc corners and it works well. I find that for hexagons you only need (dc, ch2, dc) corners instead of (2dc, ch2, 2dc).
Hello. This is a brilliiant video. Thank you. The only thing is that it really is perfect rythm at the beginning but it goes really fast quite quickly . I started and was happy to find I was making it but had to drop out.. If the second part was just as slow as the first it would be perfect . But that 's just for me as a beginner. 😀
Thanks for the videos it was alot easier to understand i like how you did the corners they look alot better . Where in the uk do you live my mom from leeds
The tip using a third dc into the corner rather than the first hidden stitch makes it so much easier as well as neater. Can a standing dc work in place of 3 chain with your method?❤
Thank you these squares always go wrong for me . This is a great tutorial and big help . Think i mustve been going into the stich you skipped cause my sides come out uneven nos Open grannys are ok .
thankyou for this wonderful video. All your tutorials are so clearly instructive. My own square has gone bit wavy, as I have obviously inadvertently put in an extra stitch along a side now and again. Are there a number of stitches that should constitute a side on each round? (excluding the five in the corner spaces? ) do they increase by a particular ratio (I'm awfully bad with numbers!) thankyou Meema.
As a rule of thumb, go for the size hook it recommends on your yarn label 😊 unless you are following a pattern with a strict yardage or size (like clothing)
For the square? I’ll direct link it for you. You will just need to click the link to download the free pattern. I don’t know if you can download without logging in to ravelry www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/solid-granny-square-14
@@meemamakes Thank you for the reply. I think that it may be on my end. I am making traditional granny squares at this moment and watching your solid tutorial. I have this “ house rule”; I cannot start a new project until 3/4 done with an old but I want to try this version and use a lacy border? Thanks for a great lesson
@@maewebster9377 that sounds like a great combination! Good luck with your blankets. I just start a bunch of things and they get finished when they get finished so I respect your restraint!!
I keep trying to make these squares and they all look crap! They are lopsided and not perfectly square. I am experienced at crochet, so I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
i never thought i'd be so happy from a square but here we are

Congrats on your first square!
I LOVE YOUR TUTORIALS!! THANK YOU SO MUCH

You explain this so succinctly. I've been struggling for so long but watching you crochet has explained a lot. Many thanks 😊
Glad it was helpful!

Omgg tyy sooo much it took 1hr to this😅 and i am soo happy❤❤
Love this pattern
Thank you I finally can make a granny square 😊
So can we keep on going to make a blanket like the regular granny square?
🎉This is going great
Thanks a lot
Im nit a begginer but yjis tutorial was brilliant x
Thank you for the teaching I listen to it then I'm going back and follow the steps with you ❤
You are so welcome, glad this tutorial helped ❤️
@@meemamakes you're welcome ❤️
Mine keeps coming out looking like a circle no matter how hard I try. Any tips on how to avoid that?
Maybe adjust the corners and shape the double crochets like tightening them😅
Thankyou finally ive cracked it can you make one as large as you want without it twisting
I have replied to your other comment asking this. I hope it helps
Beautiful ❤
Thanks for the videos it was alot easier to understand i like how you did the corners they look alot better . Where in the uk do you live my mom from leeds
I’m glad you liked the tutorial. I live in Leeds but I’m from the middle of nowhere in the midlands so my accent is a bit muddled 🤣
That's so cool my cousins live in leeds
Good job
Thank you very much
Just found you channel. Love it🙌😆🙌
Yay Thankyou 🥰
The tip using a third dc into the corner rather than the first hidden stitch makes it so much easier as well as neater. Can a standing dc work in place of 3 chain with your method?❤
Yes I don't see why not! I did use to do standing stitches but they slow me down once I'm crocheting at speed.

Thank u for the Video on this.
Question : What if u want to make a Blanket? Do u continue around, & ur middle counts get bigger? How dose it work?
I love this way....man I'm always worried about wasting that yarn but ig it's not wasteful if it's important to it's quality
I’m trying this pattern as a beginner, and can’t find the size hook to use? The pattern is beautiful!
As a rule of thumb, go for the size hook it recommends on your yarn label 😊 unless you are following a pattern with a strict yardage or size (like clothing)
Sausage, mash (homemade with milk an butter), onion gravy with peas u should try next x
Are you using 100 % cotton or acrylic yarn for the project thanks
It’s acrylic but it depends on what I’m making
Hi, I have 2 holes on my starting corner each time around. The 1 dingle crochet gives me thus but not sure why,??
Please make a video for a solid granny square bag
Good idea! I’ll add it to my to do list 😊
@meemamakes Also, please tell me how many granny squares you used to make the blanket please
12:32
I see the 3 tutorial videos but I can't seem to find the written pattern. Am I just missing it? Please help 😥
For the square? I’ll direct link it for you. You will just need to click the link to download the free pattern. I don’t know if you can download without logging in to ravelry www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/solid-granny-square-14
This is a great tutorial but I am somehow messing up the end of each round.
Can i attach this stitch just on the corners of another pattern for a granny square?
Yes you can! It’s one of the techniques I used to adjust the size of my sampler squares here: th-cam.com/video/zB3uFthfpPs/w-d-xo.html
@@meemamakes thank u!!
@@sarabostan3221 You are very welcome, good luck!
what happened to the descriptions? I only see transcripts
Is it an issue on your end? I can see the description on my end. I’ll have a look from another account too.

Still working on it will be back.
Why can I not make a big enough circle. What is going on
You might be a very tight chainer - try makin 5 or 6 chains to make the circle instead
@@meemamakes would thicker yarn help me? I am determined to make something ANYTHING 😂
where are instructions
Why does mine look like a circle
Tension. Loosen up your tension. Sometimes it better if it’s loose than tight
20:15
OKAY, ILY FOR MAKING THIS TUTORIAL BUT WHY IS MY CORNER SPACE MISSING 😭😭😭
I find that if you’re struggling to find them, pop a stitch marker into each corner sp as you crochet them, then you’ll never lose it again 😊
tysm for the tip! also i realized i wasnt dc into the corner space, but the chains making the corner space 😬😬😬 will do the tip though ❤
I keep trying to make these squares and they all look crap! They are lopsided and not perfectly square. I am experienced at crochet, so I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
Can you send a photo or if you’re in the Meema Makes Facebook group can you post it so I can try and identify the issue?
