Love this pattern and your instructions are so easy to folliw. Your voice is so calm and your ability to laugh at your mistakes made me smile throughout the video. I found myself thinking "she's the Bob Ross of crochet"! Thank you for sharing your craft with us!
I've been crocheting for 46 years (I learned when I was 10) and I just learned those new tricks you taught - game changer for me! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and trying to sew in all the ends with a needle is hard and painful - so much easier the way you do it.
Glad it's been helpful!! Happy crocheting :)

You’re welcome!! Happy crocheting!
A very useful video, thank you so much.
You’re so very welcome! Glad it was helpful ☺️
Not only is the square beautiful, but the way you show to weave in the ends is a game changer for me haha. I've made so many granny squares and never thought of that method!
Thank you so much! I'm glad it helped :)
So excited to have found you. Love this blanket; I've been looking for a granny sq blanket to make; love your patterns. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us how to make this gorgeous blanket. Stay safe and well. Vivian in Georgia
Thanks Vivian!! Glad you’ve enjoyed it. All the best 🥰
Just got a bunch of blanket yarn and this is going to be my cozy project. I know the squares will be larger than the pattern but I plan on going until I think it’s big enough lol😅love your pattern! Can’t wait to get started
This is great! I've been working for hours following your instructions. I made 1 Sunburst square- 1 colour like your first video, knowing it was my very first granny square. And now, I'm following this for adding additional colours. I found on my first 1 there was a hole going from first row to second. I think I did something wrong when I tied off first row. I think I figured it out while watching this video. I made a baby blanket 20 years ago - 1 giant bubble granny square. I'm hoping to make a bunch of squares and join them for a summer blanket. Exciting.
My first granny square is finished! Very nice. You helped me a lot, thank you. Greetings vom Germany ❤️
Glad it was helpful!! Love from Canada!
i followed a tutorial previously that left me with a somewhat curved sqaure. this tutorial has saved my squares!!! quick and so so simple to follow. thank you so much!!
Glad it helped! Happy crocheting ☺️
this is so useful thank you so much!
You are so very welcome!!
This is my favorite tutorial I’ve ever watched! I love the way you do your videos and the way you explain so clear and articulate. Thank you for the work you do :)
Thank you so much!!! That’s so kind of you ☺️- I’m very glad it was helpful. L, M
Thank you for this tutorial. I learned new techniques from you. Your instruction was great for the first three rounds on the last round you kind of dropped off, saying that you assumed we knew the basic stitches. Whether we knew the basic stitches or not, you were extremely hard for me to follow.😮
OMG! After hearing you say you don't carry the yarn over on the last round because the little bit that shows drives you crazy...YES!!! I just did one last night where I carried the yarn and when I flipped it I was like, "OH NO!!!! that looks horrible!!!" haha This video is perfect, I can't wait to try your method of joining at the end of the circle. I wasn't happy with how mine were turning out after watching some previous videos, but yours seems PERFECT!
Beatufull ..congratulations!😍😍😍😍😍😍
thank you :)
Of all the granny squares I’ve made this last 12 months, this is my favorite 😍 also I love that you don’t use music
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I wouldn’t know how to put music even if I wanted to-hahaha. Purely instructional! Happy crocheting!! 🥰
just like the commenter below; I have been crocheting for a while ... and I loved learning a couple of new tricks that make things look smoother/ nicer and save time weaving in also!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Your explanations are very clear, your voice is pleasant and it was easy to follow along: three done, about 320 to go…😅
😅
I use your “fake chain” stitch on the final round of a granny square to eliminate that knot on top.
Great tip.
Nagyon köszönöm 🤩🙋♀️
Thank you so much for this tutorial. You really made it easy for me to learn it. I love this granny square. I will be practicing this. Can you just continue going around to make a blanket?
Excelente explicación I love it.
Thank you- happy crocheting 🥰
Thank you so much for this amazing (and soo fun, love your humor *May Day May Day*😆 ) tutorial. I started crocheting when the pandemic started and have got a little comfortable with the stitches and pattern, however, this sunburst granny square was just not coming out 'Square' *sigh*! Loved the video and finally my blanket/table cover/shawl (not sure what I am going to make yet 😜) can progress a little! 😊
You’re very welcome!! 😆🙈
World peach is cute.
I need to learn trouble crochet
i love this method! i'm somewhat new to crocheting and i'm always bothered by the look of joining to the starting chain, these squares look beautiful.
It works almost every time for almost every square!! All the best on your crochet journey ☺️
Love this tutorial! What size is the final square?
Amazing video! The biggest challenge for me is to find a similar yarn with nice colors and cozy texture. Are u using acrylic or a blend? Really looking forward to crochet your blanket
Спасибо🎉
I'm currently preparing to work on a huge (160x200 cm) blanket for my parents made from sunburst granny squares, I think I need around 320 of them? Anyways, I watched a lot of tutorials and yours is the best by far, very nice technique to weave the tail in back loops of the rounds, going to save me TONS of time!
Hi i have been looking for the granny square folded in the middle and sewn on tea towel to hang over stove
I did like that one and wanted to do it . I hope you can help me . Thank u
This is a really great video! I like everything about it.. your instructions and pace and extra tips. I have written notes based on your instructions but wonder if they are written down anywhere? Thank you!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful! The pattern is written out In a few on my free patterns on my blog:

@@nautikrallcrochet you rock! Just amazing. The granny square phase is back- sharing with my friends.
I LOVE this pattern and am totally making the Hygge burst blanket as we speak with the recommended yarn and colors because I love your style and colors. So happy to have found your blog. Questions for you - 1) Do you have a strategy for keeping the squares organized while you're building them? I don't immediately recognize all of the colors. 2) Do you build the squares one at at time or do you do parts of them while you're working a specific color? This is my first time building a blanket of this size and variety. I'm sure if I mix up the squares it isn't such a big deal but I like to follow patterns to the letter my first time doing them. Thanks!
Hi Jill! So when I first made the blanket I was just putting squares together at random and laid them all out on the bed and then joined them up later.
However, I’ve made it a few times since then and got to follow my own pattern-I do the squares in order…starting with square 1 and I stack them up to square 8. Just one on top of the other so that 8 is on top. THEN I do the continuous join and out that row together. It conveniently has my 8th square on top so I just crochet a rock my row all the way down my pile. Then I start working the squares for my second row the exact same way. This is how I’ve found it easiest to do. Hope it helps ☺️
@@nautikrallcrochet Thank you so much. Yes this really helped. I just completed my first row and did the joining. It was so easy to follow.
I love the way how you crochet and how you explain very satisfied! But I have a problem my hook doesn’t go easily through the cluster stitch what is the trick to make this mission possible thanks
Practice, practice, practice....and make sure your loops are nice and loose. Now is not the time for tight tension--pull the loops up to the height of a double crochet. That should help :)
This is beautiful. I'm new to crochet but did just complete the Macaroon Blossom Afghan by Astri, so I'm learning quite a bit. I'm wondering why you don't use an invisible join at the end of your last square to avoid that knot when finishing. Thanks so much. I'm going to try this square next. ;-)
Thanks!! I’m always trying to avoid sewing as much as possible. So, for me, the invisible join is an extra, unnecessary step-also, once all the squares are joined up, you won’t see any knots anyways. ☺️
@@nautikrallcrochet thanks so much for your reply. I’m just trying to figure this all out. lol
Can anyone tell me how many stitches these are one each side ? I have another style I love that is 21 stitches on each of the 4 sides and I'd like to use both to make a blanket, is there some way to measure this universally for all granny squares? Do you just count visually?
how many grams of that yarn did you use for 1 pillow? :)
Thank you for the this video. It is very helpful. I have one question. I originally got the pattern for this blanket and printed it out. When making round 4 of the square it says to chain 2 when making corners, but on your video it says to chain 3. I'm going to make another practice piece and try it with the chain 2 and see which is better I guess.
Yep- I tend to mix it up depending on the blanket/pattern. Always follow the written instructions in the pattern-the tutorials are just meant to be visual aids :)
Thank you. I did a practice piece for each method, and liked the tutorial instructed one the best.
I am not able to access the tutorial on how to join these beautiful squares. I have tried every imaginable combination of possibilities. It's hard to tell if there are "1" or "l". Please help!!
@@donnabeck2747 I’m not sure what you mean by 1 or I….?
@@nautikrallcrochet thank you. My daughter was able to send me the link.
Luv this. I do have a question. Is there a way to make this Starburst any size then square it later? I would like to make a afghan..
Hi Samantha, you can make it about 1-2 rounds bigger before turning it into a square. Anymore than that and it curls in on itself pretty bad-I have a “large sunburst” tutorial if you check out my video section. It shows how to put another round on!
I want to make this square bigger. Do I use the same stitch pattern until I get to the size Im looking for?
I figured it out. I am just doing a double crochet all the way around and decreased the corner chains from 3 to 2 . I guess I could also do triple crochet all the way around as well?
I see a tote bag in my future
The colors you used are so pretty what colors did you use in your blanket?
All the colours can be found in my written Loveburst blanket pattern in my Etsy shop (Nautikrall).
@@nautikrallcrochet okay thank you
Question that I hope you'll see and answer! In this video you say to chain 3 at the corners with the treble crochet. But on your pattern for the Hygge blanket, it specifically says chain 2. Which is correct?
Either one works-however I always suggest following the written instructions in a pattern. The videos were filmed long before the patterns were written and they are only meant as visual guides to accompany the patterns. Hope this helps!! ♥️
Great video. I want to do a cardigan with granny squares . What yarn do you use?
Oh gosh! There’s so many kinds. I’m a big fan of natural fibres-so merino, wool, cotton for clothing. I find acrylic doesn’t wear well (gets super pilly) and is sweaty when wearing it.
My fav (affordable) merino is Swish Worsted from WeCrochet/Knit Picks. My favourite traditional wool is a tweed yarn called Wool of the Andes Worsted by WeCrochet/Knit Picks and I love Paintbox Cotton Aran (available on lovecrafts.com) for wearables!!
Thank you !! My going to start working on a granny square cardigan. I didn’t realize the difference types cotton acrylic… thank you 🙏🏽
Will this look as nice with lighter weight yarn? I just prefer using a light weight.
Absolutely!! I use DK and sport all the time…if you check out my website Nautikrallcrochet.com there are several free patterns written up with this sunburst in DK weight yarn ❤
How do I make one
large granny square?
I made one yesterday super easy but today I tried to make another but I wasn’t lucky maybe because of my type yarn I’m working with cotton 3 with hook 3.5 , I can say that wasn’t fun I was struggling to pull my hook trough the stitches … I’m beginner what kind of yarn shall I work such kind of project ? Thanks
Cotton is really tricky for beginners. Cotton yarn tends to have very little (if any at all) stretch or give to it. So it's best to start out with other natural fibers like wool/merino or try acrylic. They'll all be a lot more forgiving than a cotton yarn. Once you get the hang of it--definitely try cotton again because it gives the puff stitches the most wonderful texture and vintage kind of vibe. :)
What are the dimensions of this square? Looks great, going to make a tote bag!
with this yarn and hook size it was 4.5" or 11cm!
I AM THRILLED I found this video!! I have tried a handful of others and they all ended up wonky...yours if the best I have tried yet...thank you!
Thank you so much! Glad you found it! Cheers, M
Kushon design
😍😍😍🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I noticed that you didn’t turn over the circle with each round until you were starting the square, am I right? I made a bunch of them very easy instructions, even completed a cardigan but now that I’m watching video gain I realized that I didn’t need to keep turning them over?
I don’t turn them over at all-except to weave in ends. The entire square is worked from the front side ☺️
is this big enough for a bag?
I guess it depends how big/little you want the bag. It’s about 4.5” square.
How can I watch the tutorial without the subtitles covering the the demonstrators hands
Sorry, I’m not sure how to make that work better for you.

Nice video but there are gaps. I wish the title were different.
“Don’t worry if you can’t keep up!” She says while going 100mph 😂😂😂
Far too fast
