    The last time I crocheted my grandmother taught me when I was about 10 or 11 years old. I sure do miss her. I'm still watching this video. You are very clear but, it just seems extremely difficult to me. Thank you for doing 1 color. I figured trying one color shouldn't be too bad. Now I just need to purchase my supplies.

      I always do three dc, am I doing it incorrectly

    Hi! Absolutely loved the clarity of your tutorial and have a question… how many rows in each square and how many squares is best for a baby blanket? The colors I’m using are yellow, white, gray, & turquoise. I’m really excited as my first square came out perfect (thanks to you!) I appreciate the time your taking to answer my questions, have a great day🤗

    • @erica_arndt
      @erica_arndt  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, I did a blanket using the two-tone granny square and did five rounds, you can see what that ended up looking like here, it's a little different but still gives you a good idea of size: th-cam.com/video/jdbFW8Oe4iI/w-d-xo.html

  • @aprilpugliese4799
    @aprilpugliese4799 ปีที่แล้ว

    I really hope you see this comment and reply! I just have a question about the corners. After you’ve completed a round and slip stitch through to start the next round, is there a reason you chain 2 as your first double crochet instead of just doing a double crochet? I understand why you do it for the very first round bc it establishes your corner, but after that, it doesn’t seem to matter. Unless it’s a visual thing I don’t know about. I hope this makes sense! Thanks so much for this video! It really helped me!!

    • @erica_arndt
      @erica_arndt  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, if you start off with a double crochet it can lay weird. That said, try it, and if you are okay with how it looks, go for it :)

    Instead of a slip stitch can I start this with a Magic Ring? I'm new so not sure how to convert the chains to the MR and chain

    • @erica_arndt
      @erica_arndt  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, you can use a magic ring to start, then just start your first row, don't worry about the chains to start, just pull your magic loop tight once you get the first round done.

      Hi! Just make sure you're doing the CH2 in each corner! If you skip those corner chains you'll end up with a circle shape.

      Don't forget to do a CH2 in the corners, that is what shapes the blocks. And also they look better after you block them! I show how to block them here: th-cam.com/video/I9x3ngZlCYA/w-d-xo.html
