CROCHET: SUPER SOLID GRANNY SQUARE | Bella Coco Crochet

- SUPER SOLID GRANNY SQUARE - I’m so happy to bring you this super sold granny square today. A few years ago, someone asked me if there was a way of doing a solid granny square with absolutely NO holes. So I sat down and created one….only for it to be lost in a pile of yarn and forgotten about! So when I discovered it again a few weeks back, I thought to myself ‘I HAVE TO DO A TUTORIAL FOR THIS’ and that’s exactly what I did.
I have used Paintbox Simply Aran - Pansey Purple - bit.ly/PBSimplyAran

FAQs??
-How many squares do I need for a baby blanket?
This can vary, it really can be however big or small you like, but i generally do 4x4 or 5x5.
This blog post might be useful: bit.ly/1UIobie
-How many chains shall I do for a *single/double/etc' blanket?
Again, this can vary. I would suggest that you do your chain and lay it down agains the bed you are wanting it for. It should be the same width. You should then ad a few more to make it a little wider.

Unfortunately, I will be able to answer individuals questions about how much yarn you would used do to multiple factors affecting it. Such as, your tension, the size of hook and the yarn being used.

Life hack for my fellow adhd sufferers, if you have trouble keeping count as you stitch, use a stitch marker an place there’s a change up, you can get lost in the repetition without losing your place. And for beginners, if you don’t have stitch markers, or you’re like me and always lose the dang things, use bobby-pins or paper clips, they work just fine. 🖤
You can also use scrap piece of yarn.
Thank you so much for this tip!
Have only been crocheting for 3 days. Thanks so much for making it so easy to understand and learn x
You’re welcome 😊
thank you so much for this amazing tutorial!! usually i’m terrible at following tutorials but i took my time and tried to stay as relaxed as possible and i actually made it!! although mine looks a tad crooked, i’m so proud of myself that i actually did it :) it took me an hour and a half (it is currently 05:35 am so i should probably go to sleep soon) and i’m excited to get better at crocheting as now i realise i can actually do it :D
You are very welcome and well done, keep practicing and it will get easier :)
First attempt at this square, I’m hoping to just keep going with it to make it a decent size, my daughter is getting a kitten and wants a blanket for him and I don’t have much time lol 💞
Hope your blanket came out awesome 😁
I was surprised how small the square turned out. I want to add another color and make it a bit larger. Were you happy with how yours turned out & would you be so kind as to offer any suggestions on how i can make this a bit larger🥰thank you so very much
@@lisal9633 hi Lisa, I ended up making a different blanket, if you want your square to be bigger, I would suggest using a thicker weight yarn and bigger hook or if it’s DK weight you have just keep adding more rounds to the square and you can change colours whenever you like, Just tie off the colour your using and start using the next colour, I would add your new colour into a different corner/stitch from where you end the previous colour as this will avoid possible too much thickness at the 1 corner when you weave in your ends 💖 hope that helps 😊
@@clairemckinstray5175 thank you very much for your reply and suggestions. I appreciate it very much🥰🥰🥰
@@lisal9633 your welcome Lisa, I hope it was helpful, I find I learn something new everyday with crochet, plus you can just try out different hook sizes to see what you like best 💖
I have a naturally tighter weave so I was getting weird bumps in the corners of the first round where the triple treble was. Instead I just went up a hook size from 5mm to 6mm and did 3 double trebles for the corners of the first round like you would for all the other rounds. No more bumps! Well, minimal bumpage
Absolutely love your tutorials. They are so easy to follow, thank you!
You're very welcome :)
Great looking square , can't wait to do one and change up the colours in each round , think it will look lovely . Loving the graphics on your videos S-J , love the little instructions popping up on the sides 😘♥️💋💋💋
Thank you :)
Before finding your tutorial on a granny square i had trouble following the instructions in all the vidoes, but i didnt have any trouble understanding the steps. It is an amazing tutorial, well explained thank you for your help.
You are very welcome :)
Wow another granny square. When I typed in solid granny square I wasn't expecting this one. I have just tried this and it is and it is another amazing square. Thank you so much for for video tutorials these are amazing.
You're very welcome :)
Lol! Needed to calm down before sleep so chose a yarn that looks nice but I know it to unravel. Well it was dry and hilarious but it worked following your steps and such an easy sum to follow. Best square yet! Mines very thick and quite dry due to the wrong wool but it will make a great face scrubber in the morning. Best square shape yet. Brilliant Bella thankyou ✌️♥️🙏🏴
You're very welcome :)
spent so long trying to find a good tutorial to follow, first attempt didn’t look awful can’t wait to keep going x
Well done for not giving up and remember that crochet is practice and patience so keep trying and it will get easier :)
I just started crocheting today with a little knowledge of the basics and not being able to get past the first parts and these totoriul is great I'm only on the end of round two but is so helpful thank you❤
You're welcome :)
I find this easier than the one with the gap I watched haha, thank god ai found you, I find your videos more easier to learn from oh my gosh thank you 😍😍😍😍
Great video! It was easy to follow along. Thank you. ☺️
You're very welcome 🙂
This was so fun to do! Thank you! 🙏🏼
You're so welcome :)
Hi I love you, your tutorials is all I can do it seems like everyone else I’ve tried makes it to complicated and go to fast. Thank you for your videos! As a new beginner and someone who doesn’t understand how to read a crochet pattern you have been god send! Much love ❤
You’re welcome 😊
Lovely dense square. My favourite colour too btw. I'm a novice at crotcheting but I think your tutorial is very clear and well presented 💜👍👏👏
Thank you! 😊
Bella Coco 💙
This is a great little granny square.
Thank you:)
THANKS FOR THIS TUTORIAL i REALLY LIKE THIS GRANNY SQUARE
You're very welcome :)
This has been the easiest tutorial to follow so far. Thank yo so much
You're very welcome :)
I Love all of your tutorials
Thank you 🙂
I agree a stitch marker on the treble corner stitches is a game changer.
Thanks for the tutorial I am using these squares for my temperature blanket
You are welcome :)
thank you for the tutorial! it's very helpful!
You're welcome :)
Fantastic tutorial
Thank you :)
Great video. Easy to follow, just loved how the square turned out.
Thank you :)
I'd follow the Tutorials and it was a success yeah! Thanks bella
You are very welcome :)
Love, love, love this tutorial! I just finished the second round, and I think this would make a nice dishcloth. I'm using Caron Cotton Cakes. Don't know if you have that in the UK. It's a bit thinner than the usual cotton yarn available here in Canada.
Thank you :)
Another GREAT video! As a visual learner, you have helped me TREMENDOUSLY!! Also followed your corner to corner video and my blanket turned out awesome!
Glad I have been of help :)
Do you have a tutorial for a solid continuous granny square blanket? Thank you.
Just keep doing more rounds, following the increases she explained, until the square is the size you want. I make lots of blankets in different styles of granny square. I change colours as I please, and make whatever sized blanket I want.
your speed was perfect!
Loved loved your square
Thank you :)
Thank you!
You're very welcome 🙂
Thank you so much😊
You're welcome 😊
Fab. Sarah would you do a tutorial on the waffle stitch in the round???
AHH ILY TY. I am REALY BAD at Magic circles and this helped a lot ❤❤
I'm glad it helped :)
Gonna practice this to make myself a new bag and this square looks perfect for what I want
When I do it with Polyester yarn 100g it gets too cramped, should I add more stitches and if then how many? Your tutorial is wonderful btw!
Thank you.
You're welcome :)
Thank you I love it. How do you avoid having a square all wobly on the sides when you crochet a big square like for a summer top?
Turn your work after each round 🌱
Crochet rather loose knots, if you pull them too tight the square won’t be flat but become wobbly/wavy/curling.
Also, use your hook as a ruler.
Ya, I have tried a hundred times and can't get it to lay flat.
very helpul thank you.
You're welcome :)
I'm determined to complete one of these. I've frogged my work like 4 times so far! Either my magic circle is not central or I just don't have space left for the twice repeated part.
Keep trying and it will get easier, good luck :)

i personally need it to be a tad bit bigger, so i do a round of sc around mine, that being, sc til corner, 3sc into one st, repeat around the rest of square, sl st, ch1, fasten off.
but you guys dont have to do that
If I keep going is it 3 Tr in the corners. I want to do 2 more rounds
@@lynnkimball7071 js repeat the same corners as you were doing in previous rounds
Mine looks like a lemon but great for my first time 🍋
Is it possible to do an ‘endless’ granny square like this? I would love to make a bigger square for a pillow!
If you keep adding rounds this square will begin to curl up I’m afraid - you may be best making some smaller squares that you can join together 😊
@@bellacococrochet thank you for the reply!! I appreciate the quick response.
I'm enjoying these tutorials. On this one - on the third round i've ended up with one extra treble crochet stitch on the starting edge - eg 8 instead of 7. Not sure why, buy that seems to knock the pattern out from there on.
I'm glad you're enjoying them 😊 If you have an extra stitch then the pattern won't sit right. You can find the written instructions over on my blog which will help you see what stitches you should be making: bellacococrochet.com/super-solid-granny-square/
I’m having the same issue - an extra stitch on the third round. I’ve restarted four times, following the pattern exactly. I don’t know what is going on.
@@expllosiive I'm glad it's not just me!
@@bellacococrochet I know this is a comment from a year ago , but at the start of Row 3 you said to put two trebles in the 3rd chain and 4 in the next 4 stitches (we will have 6 trebles)
At the end we are left with 2 stitches leaving us with 8 trebles on that side.
Hi Sarah where can I purchase the crochet hooks you are using in your videos please? Thank you 😊
Thank you for the amazing tutorial. Is there a rule on how big the square must be or can it be bigger?
You're welcome! 😊 You can keep on adding rounds to this until it reaches the size you want.
6:13 took me back to that moment where while teaching to ride a cycle, the parent says, don't worry, I will not let go!!
LOL :)
instruction time stamps:
1st row: 6:16
2nd row: 9:02
3rd row: 12:05
Do you have a written pattern for this?
When yoou finish the granny square will you leave a tail for when you jayg. Thanks so much.
I am trying to use this to make a blanket just continuously expanding it. My only problem is it keeps curling in. Ive checked everywhere for any advice on this but i cant seem to figure out whats going wrong. Im trying to knit it for a toddler so i cant go up in size with the hook or the gaps are too big.
Because this granny squares consists of so many stitches worked tightly together, it does have a tendency to curl up if too many rounds are worked. You may be better working lots of smaller squares and joining them together to make a blanket 😊
One big question for those who want to use this for a blanket how would you join these together to make a blanket would it be light the tight join as you go or differently I need to know for I plan to use this for a blanket and need to know how to join these together
Their are several different ways to join granny squares, if you search bella coco how to join granny squares all the different options will come up and you can see which one would suit your blanket the best :)
Hi! I love your videos! To join these squares together, would it be the same method as the video you have for joining the solid squares?
Thanks Amber 😊 Yes you would join these squares in the same way.
How do you make the 2 color solid granny?
If you add one more row, what would those corners be?
If you have a look at the blog post here: bellacococrochet.com/super-solid-granny-square/ it has instructions for adding more rounds 😊
Not a huge granny square fan but I like this one! Thanks!
You're very welcome 🙂
Hey, I’m gonna do the magic circle method, how many stitches do you put in? Thx
If you watch the tutorial from 1:25 it tells you how many stitches to do :)
Can you please show how to make this seamlessly?
i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was really hard to follow but I like how you put the US terms
can you make a us pattern? the double trebles and triple trebles get very confusing because a double treble for us is just a treble and i get confused.
I'm sorry for the confusion; I always work in UK terms as that's where I'm from but if you pop over to my blog here: bellacococrochet.com/super-solid-granny-square/ you can find the written instructions and it would be very easy to copy and paste them and change the stitches to US terms using the conversion chart 😊
hi! i would like to know what kind of yarn do you use?
I used Paintbox Simply Aran, here is the link:- bit.ly/PBSimplyAran :)
Thank you for sharing but I have a question that's been driving me a little nuts. What do you call a single crochet in the UK?
Hi Katie we don't have a single crochet in the UK - we call it double crochet :)
How big is this square please?
Hi Sarah what if we want to do different colours how would we do that
There are a couple of options: you can pull through your new yarn when making the final part of the last stitch in the round, as I show in my tutorial here: czcams.com/video/MaIuAWV2BA4/video.html, or you can tie off your yarn at the end of the round and then attach the new colour ready to make the chain stitches 😊
@@bellacococrochet I am so inspired by your work I have learned so much from you I learn to crochet 5 and half year ago but I learned from your tutorials
I’m trying to do this but where she says to go into the center of the hole is confusing cause I don’t see where she puts the hook in so mine doesn’t look like hers and I can’t figure it out
You can create a bigger chain circle of five or six which will make a larger hole in the centre; this will make it easier to see where to insert your hook 😊
8:02
I keep ending up with either a big circle or a triangle 😂
I’m clearly doing something wrong lol
Make sure you have the correct number of stitches in the first round, as if this is off it will affect the whole of your square from then on. You can check the written instructions over on my blog here: bellacococrochet.com/super-solid-granny-square/ 😊
How do I make the granny square bigger?
You can find the written pattern with instructions on how to keep adding rounds here: bellacococrochet.com/super-solid-granny-square/ 😊 However, be aware that this square does have a tendency to curl once more rounds are worked, so you may wish to make multiple squares that can be joined together instead.
Thanks!
I was trying to follow along but it was so fast and my yarn was stiff and I 😭😭😭😭
It's a good tutorial though, don't get me wrong. I'm just frustrated because I'm a beginner
You have to remember that crochet is practice and patience so don't give up. If you feel yourself getting frustrated put your work down and go back later or even the next day. It will get easier and I wish you the best of luck with your crochet journey :)
My yarn just keep getting tighter even though I was loose
Can i just keep going and make a lap blanket
Yes, you can keep on adding rounds until you reach the size you want 😊
Hello, just a very simple question, but the answer is rather confusing, at least for me, as a beginner to crochet.
Why do the terms double crochet, triple crochet have a different name in USA and UK? The finished item using either double or triple stitch, isn't it the same?
Thank you for your time and help.
It can be quite confusing. They are the same stitch its just that the UK and the US use different terminology so for instance a UK double is a US single (the same stitch just know by different names) :)
So what you mean is, when in the Uk they make a single crochet stitch, this is a Double crochet in their terminology??
And when they make a double crochet stitch, they name it a triple crochet??
Thank you for your help.
A US single is called a double in the UK, a US double is called a treble. You get used to it if you watch a lot of videos lol.
@cathymartin3379, You are so right, "... If you watch a lot of videos" 😂.. As a beginner, I do the following trick. When I found out that USA and UK use a different terminology, I first check the youtuber's country and then start watching the tutorial 😂 I must confess that the first video I watched (2 months ago) it was a disaster to understand what the heck was going on 😂
could i use a magic circle instead?
Yes you can substitute with a magic circle no problem 😊
Ugh I tried this 4 times and my center is not centered 😂
amazing tutorial, but i keep crocheting circles😅😢
Thank you 😊 I would double check the written instructions over on my blog here: blog.bellacococrochet.com/super-solid-granny-square/ to make sure you’re crocheting everything correctly.
My granny square is slanted, does anyone know why?
It's normal for granny squares to slant slightly as we're working round and round in the same direction - blocking it should help but you can also flip your square over after each round 😊
@@bellacococrochetthank you!
Mine turned out looking half like a circle and half like a square after the first round. Couldn’t even start the second round. Had to unravel. 😢
Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that. If you pop along to my blog you can find the written instructions: blog.bellacococrochet.com/super-solid-granny-square/ You can use these in conjunction with the video tutorial to double check that you're working the first round correctly 😊
@@bellacococrochet not sure if I just did my stitches too tight or if my hook was too small. I just started crocheting less than a week ago.
In us its called a triple crochet the terminology is really confusing
Yes it can be very confusing it's the same stitches just different terminology :)
This video seemed rushed compared to your usual tutorials.
Worked great for me
It might be because it’s not a beginner tutorial in the title
Too fast
Have you tried slowing down the video/and or pausing so that you can catch up ?
This kinda did not help :/😭😭
