EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS VIDEO IS SO VISUALLY SATISFYING. She is so cute and so is the yarn and her nails omg. Thank you for this!
Thank you. This was brilliant. So clear and beautifully demonstrated.
My blanket isn't granny squats but I think I'm going to use this technique to join my finished strips!!! This will be my first time actually finishing a crochet project and I want it to be beautiful.
how did it turn out? (:
Thank you for the clear explanation with the thick yarn 👍
Thank you for describing how to go across the seams in the other direction! Going over/around them “like PAC-Man” was exactly the info I needed! Your video is well done, and nicely edited. No waiting around for things to get set up just so. Thanks for sharing expert knowledge!
Thank you so much for this video. Really explained how to do it step by step so that I could follow. New to crochet and was having a hard time joining as i went and this helped a lot. Will eventually figure out how to join as I crochet. Thanks again
I wish you would have shown how to do the intersection part.
She explained intersection join at the end.
But i dont understand pacman. Working around join leaves me so confused. Why not demonstrate this important step
@@leftieknitter7392 I agree, it would have been so much better if she showed how to do the intersection.
@@leftieknitter7392 Same here, I did not understand the pacman method. 🥰
i was thinking the same thing! the explanation alone left me confused, so a visual demonstration would have been very helpful
Thank you for this! I'm completely new to crochet (I started last week) and I tried to follow a photo tutorial without success. Once I followed your video I could do this instantly.
Thanks so much. Best demo I've seen ❤️
THANK YOU! I have been driving myself crazy trying to figure this out and you've made it sooooo easy! Time to finish my grandson's blanket!! :-)
I like this video because she's using yarn similar to the kind I use...but I wish she would have shown how to connect the squares the other way too.
I've used this join and found that I like it even better when I alternate the stitches like this: first stitch: pick up the left loop, then the right (as in the video); next stitch: pick up the right loop, then the left. Continue like this for the entire seam.
I agree; this keeps it from looking like one edge is overlapping the other.
I actually figured out on my own how to do this from the top down, but it involved taking the hook out of the loop and coming in from a new angle. These instructions are much easier. Also, I got Lyme disease and forgot how the heck I did it last time! I sure was glad to find this video after fumbling around for over an hour trying to figure out the method again.

You are a shinning star!
How does the back look like ?
This looks easy! I have hundreds of granny squares that need to be joined 😁
Thank you so much for this! I'd been trying to figure this out with written tutorials and could not figure it out. This was so easy to follow.

Thank you thank you thank you!! I've been searching the web trying to find a way to join my squares in a neat fashion that look pretty but almost look part of the work and not a join for a christening blanket for my new goddaughter. This is prefect. I'm even going to show my mum how to do this as well. x
Hi Nicola! So happy you enjoyed the video! Good luck on the christening blanket! :D

Hi how do you join the Flat Flip Stitch Join to the next two joined granny squares to make a square of four so we know how it is done. I am a visual learner and like your method of joining the squares by far very other methods. Do you have a video showing where you go after joining the two granny squares? Please help me and thank you so much.
Thank you so much
This looks very nice. Thanks for sharing. Would like to see how to handle the intersection too. Thanks
Would also like to see the reverse side!
I love your tutorial! Awesome!
Love this! Please post a video on how to “PAC man” the corners?
Thank you this is wonderful ✨
You just solved my ‘problem’. Thanks.💐
Thnku for this tutorial. It was very helpful indeed. ❤
wonderful work
its the best way to join squares,looks great,thank you so much for tutorial :)
It Is a big wow.it is something new I should try it.
I absolutely love this style. Thank you!!!
Thank you for this work very nice
Maybe you should demonstrate going around the intersection bit please.
This is exactly what I was looking for!! Many Thanks!!!
Thanks for this most welcomed tutorial!
Top!!
Thank you. When you say “go around” you mean go over? I’m still trying to visualize as I prepare to seam together my first blanket. Thanks! 😊
This was very helpful. Thank you for this :)
Wish she would have shown the pac-man jump over the middle stitch and the reverse side of the work too.
Thanks for sharing very beautiful and to the point
What a great tutorial. Thanks! You just got yourself a new subscriber :)
Didn’t show how to do the intersection and didn’t show the back. Anyway I’m glad to see this as I’m getting ready to join and have accumulated 9 (now) ways to choose from
Thank you. ❤
I recently started using this stitch for my granny squares. Could you show us how to go in the other direction and how to deal with the intersection. Thanks.
Check out my explanation in a similar comment below... I'm pretty sure I figured it out.
i am also visual i will have to do it & see how it comes out wish she showed it
Go to CZcams Blossom Crochet: Join Granny Squares with the "invisible" Slip Stitch.
Thanks so much really helped me
Apesar de não saber Inglês, deu pra entender como unir os quadrados, gostei muito!!!! Obrigada!!!😘
Perfect and easy instructions! Thank you! I hope it's as easy on worsted weight yarn! :) LOL Pacman! I totally understand what you are saying!
I have the same question as Barbara Cimini. A response would be appreciated. really like this seam. Thank you...Maybe you could do a video showing working around the existing slip stitch at the intersections.
You're referring to 4:52 in the video, when she discusses what to do at intersections. I also don't quite understand that part. I'm hoping that it will make sense when I get to my first intersection and have to figure out what to do... sometimes instructions like this one only become clear when you are at that point in your actual project and are pondering various ways around it!
I figured it out... it's really intuitive once you get to the intersection. You'll see that as you finish the last slip stitch before the intersection, and your tail is behind the horizontal seam, when you reach over the seam to grab the first 2 loops of the next pair of squares, your working yarn and that tail are surrounding the seam naturally. So just go from the last stitch on the first pair of squares to the first stitch on the second pair of squares. Don't crochet into the seam; just skip over it.
froggy doodle I'm trying to follow, but I find it easier to see how to do it. Do you go over the horizontal and into the left and right or under and into the two stitches?
?????
CanadianRose Just pretend the cross-wise seam isn’t there - and jump over it to the next set of squares. You just don’t do anything with the seam you’re crossing... ignore it. Start with the first loops on the next set of squares & join them as you have done the rest. That simple.
This is great! But I find it easier to work with the pieces one on top of the other instead of side by side. And I stich from left to right instead of bottom to top.
Have a video or instructions on those squares? Love those
This may be a silly question, but will this work for projects other than afghans/granny square blankets? Say, for example, to make a flat seam on some fingerless gloves: could you join two sides of the same rectangular piece of crochet together?
Thank you. I really enjoyed it. Is there a doble stitch to join so that the stitches look like they are little bars joining? If so can you please do a video on how to do it? Thank you.
I like this way to join, but can you also show how it looks on the back.
That's what I was waiting vor ...
Thank you for sharing.....lovely
I’m trying to learn how to join squares and the method that you demonstrated looked easy enough for me to try until you said to go around at the interceptions. I don’t know how to do that, I wish that you had shown it at least once.
Thank you so much for this
Brilliant, Tysm 😍
Just a question as to why you do left first then twist back to right, I learned this a few yrs ago ,don't remember who, but I do it by putting hook in on the right side then the left & yarn over& pull though, mine top stitch looks the same as yours ,
I have a question and I hope you answer me
How to finish the work if you are using a different color from the squares?
I hope you answer and continue you are really amazing
I just started watching you
You have a new subscriber
Great video! One question: how do you recommend weaving in the contrasting color you use to slip stitch squares together? I tried weaving in through 10 or so slip stitches but things are unraveling quickly...
You're the cutest thing alife!!!
👍
Hmmm... I'm not sure what you mean when you say you have to work "around the existing slip stitch join." Do you mean you have to work over it?
Barbara Cimini t
I think I answered it in another comment above; check it out if you're still stuck.
Nice
I don't know anything about pacman so how would this detail help me?
Is it flat on both sides?
I feel like this is a partial tutorial, you did not show us the back of the join nor did you show us how to "work around the existing slip stitch join."
Hello Grace! Sorry for this. We no longer have a resident yarn expert at Blitsy since we no longer sell much of it, but you can find Heidi at handsoccupied.com - she is featured in this video and a true expert. :)
Grace you can go to Blossom Crochet: Join Granny Squares with the "invisible" Slip Stitch for the completed instructions in joining the intersection with four squares.

Need to see the entire project..
that yarn looks so soft! what kind is it?
Denene Taylor she says what yarn it is in the description of the video
She does? I can't find where she tells us.
I'm not sure if you ever figured it out, but it looks like Bernat Blanket.
😊❤🎉🎉❤😊
Hi! I was just wondering how you finish off when you come to the end of the seam? I have never crocheted before, so if it is a stupid question, sorry! Thanks!
Dana Kwak if I were you search in CZcams how to do it and then loads come up, it's easier to follow someone than to try and explain it 😊 I was new to crochet a few years ago and have self taught myself a lot through watching lots of different videos. Have you checked out Bella coco? She does some really easy tutorials. Hope this helps and happy crocheting 😊
Have to agree about Bella Coco.
What does your tattoo say? Thank you for the video! Easy to follow!
I think it starts "I simply can't do anything which I don't feel..." but I can't see the end of it and it's driving me crazy!
🌷
Didn't show enough tutorial of it
It's not flat it is like many mini baskets....what to do?
where's the 'pac mac' part?
good tutorial, I hope you feel better soon and your voice is not so growly at the end of sentences soon, get well fast!
you should show how to go the other way instead of just saying turn around and you have to go like a pac man around the corners. I am not a pac man person, so I do not know what you are saying to do.
DJ Hixson I’m
so confused at the part too!

Slip Stitch is not difficult to make? Do not kill me for this comment. I do not hesitate to delete this comment.
Sehr schlimm!!!
So old fashioned to-be still saying granny squares. They are called blocks or squares. Its 2019. Drop the granny bit
They will always be Granny squares, don't try to reinvent the wheel.
