Inreally love that your granny squares are not perfectly the same size. I'm making my first GS blanket and was concerned about mine being a bit off and having to stretch them out , but now i can see it will just work itself out
I have used several of these methods to join the granny squares of my many projects together. I also use small 6 inch pieces of yarn to keep my squares "squared" off and plumb as l am working the squares together. This works very well with large afghan projects and gives a great final squared away look to the blanket. I am now trying the circle in a square pattern and l hope to learn the puff stitch soon. My daughter has five afghans, my wife has two and my grandson also has one. All three brag about grandpa's work. Thanks for a great and very informative video.
THANK YOU! I have looked a lot of video's and this by far is the best and clear instructions. I appreciate you continuing the stiches that connect with the other squares.
These methods have been so good to watch, it means you can pick which you use, depending on what you are making. Thanks very much for the well made tutorial.
How useful and interesting to see all the varieties of stitches that exist for joyning granny squares! I have to start joining 170 granny squares! 🧐👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️👌🏻
I've been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to teach both of my sons how to knit and crochet. While discussing the upcoming summer plans with my youngest, he informed me that he has started working on a cardigan using triangle motifs. I asked him if he was using a pattern and he informed me he was "just making it up as I go along." He was originally thinking about just sewing them together, but I reminded him that by crocheting them together, he could use a different color to help "make it pop." I stumbled across this video while looking for some inspiration to pass along to him and this video is PERFECT!!! He's a very "colorful" teenager and I know that he'll come up with something fun. 😁 Also, I am crocheting a baby afghan for my boyfriend's niece using a pattern I recently stumbled across called a "Stained Glass Granny Square." I LOVED the look of the pattern and thought it would make a wonderful baby afghan if done in pastels instead of the colors that were demonstrated. I've got about half of the squares done, but I was still trying to decide how I wanted to join them together. After watching this video, I think I've finally decided what I want to do. I'm probably going to do a "creative" version of #7 (based a bit on the way the squares are initially done). I was starting to lose a bit of momentum on this project, but this has helped to motivate me to get going on it again! Thanks SO MUCH for such a superb video! You helped me "kill two birds with one stone." 😉😉 I will have to check out your channel later to see what other "goodies" you have lurking around. 😁
I have never Joined before and found all other videos confusing. Yours is the one I finally stopped at. Now I am ready to start joining. How you structured your video, in terms of including the seven options, explaining each in detail... Did the trick for me. Congrats on a video very well conceived and executed. Thankyou for offering it here.
You are Most welcome Nishtha! I feel that all videos should be this way, explaining everything someone might run into. Thank you so much for your uplifting and beautiful comment and thank you for watching! 😊🧶❤️
OMG I have come back to crocheting after knitting for many years and need to learn so many techniques. Your video is just amazing. Thank you so much for taking the time to make such an in-depth video about all the different methods of joining. Many videos do not go into how to join more squares. This tutorial is one of the best on the internet. Again many thanks for such a wonderful tutorial.
These are all great ways, and I will definitely be using them in the future! Right now, I am making blankets to donate to hospice. My mom passed recently, and we received a beautiful blanket from The Families of Hospice. So I am using my time making blankets to give back ❤❤❤❤ The size if you are curious is 40x40. I am just finishing my second one. It's helping me deal with my grief😊.
BRILLIANT tutorial. I have never done anything like that. AMAZING. I have knitted motired squares for a Children's Hospital i had no IDEA how to join them .i think ill start with no 6 see how i go.... you are just gifted. Thank you so much for showing how to make this these beautiful blankets joining ...God BLESS Stay Safe xx
Great tutorial! Having 136 squares ready to join and having your great instructions saved me hours of testing. After watching I knew which one to use. The monochrome square that appears on the side was fantastic idea so I can now refer to them if I do monochrome squares. Thank you over and over.
You are a life saver. I'm starting my first temp blanket this year and I'm kind of creating my own patteren based off of a pic I saw on pinterest. Until now, I've never made a granny square. I knew what I was looking for in a joining stitch, i just couldn't figure out how to make it happen. I watched SEVERAL videos, then up pops yours. The reverse sc. Ive used that stitch in another project and got very good at it. Once you get the hang of it, it goes pretty quickly. I never would've thought to use it to connect these squares. You are amazing!
This video is sooo helpful! I love how clear and well-organized you've made it. I finished all the squares for my coming baby's blanket a few months ago and have been postponing joining them together because it seems like such a challenge, but now he's due next week and this video is giving me the boost I need to finish up! Thank you!
Thank you so much, the slip stitch and chain is a project saver - a beginner knitter has asked me to crochet her knitted squares together but they are very irregular in places and sometimes varying in size. This should give me flexibility in the join by varying the chain size where necessary - fingers crossed so that I can try then to even up even further by adding a border.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO !!! I am putting together blankets for my 2 upcoming grandsons. Before I have always crocheted one big square, including the one for me that falls off all 4 sides of a king size bed. I was afraid to sew the squares together, so now I have over 1000 squares ! Thank you for putting me at ease. I used #3 - the single crochet method. THANK YOU AGAIN !!!!!!
Over 1,000 square!! Oh girl 🤯🤯. I’m so glad you found my video and that my video put you at ease to join your squares. #3 is a beautiful join! Love it!! Thank you so much for watching and crocheting with me! 😊🧶❤️
I’m making my first granny square project (a pillow for my sister) and your video has help me so much on how to connect all the squares. I love how you have clearly described the various stitches and have provided time stamps. This video was so helpful. Thank you! 🧶❤️
You can also touch the screen an the gear will show up at the top right corner click the gear it will pop up a list , click captions it will give option to turn on or off hope that helps.
I do something similar to #6. Slip stitch on backside but I sew it rather than crochet. Leaves a similar effect. This tutorial is amazing. I am a visual learner and struggle to follow a pattern without guidence. I cannot express how helpful this tutorial is for me. Thank you so much.❤
Thank you so much for this fabulous tutorial. I am attempting my first granny square cardigan and am visiting different sites to determine which method to use. One you didn't mention is the join as you go, however, I haven't decided for certain which I will use. As far as the person who reprimanded you for talking down to your viewers, she was way off base. I thought your comments were so clear and your camera views were wonderful. Thank you!
I'm totally saving this video for future reference! I just recently did a bunch of Willow Granny Squares in a bright orange and dark purple (the person I'm making the blanket for is a South Carolina Clemson Tiger fan) and when I got done, I realized I hadn't even thought of how I was going to join the squares. This video is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you SO much!
Join me as I walk you through 7 different techniques for joining granny squares or really any 2 pieces of work together. I will show you how to do the join with slow, extended, detailed explanation so that hopefully it is easier to understand what I am doing and what is going on. Then I will show you what the join will look like on the front of the work and on the back of the work so you know what to expect and how you would want to utilize that particular join. After all 7 demonstrations I will show you how you could go about attaching more granny squares to your join as you are expanding your project and then following that I show you how I go about joining granny squares going the opposite direction and how I maneuver over the join. My goal is that by the end of this tutorial you are able to join granny squares together and complete a project in a way that makes you very happy. ⏱Time Stamps: Begin: 00:00 #1) The whipstitch in one loop: 01:43 Defining right side and wrong side: 02:00 Where to begin or attach yarn: 04:10 What to do if your granny squares have a different stitch count: 06:59 #2) The whipstitch in both loops: 10:26 #3) Single Crochet Stitch Method: 14:11 #4) Reverse Single Crochet Method: 18:56 #5) Slip Stitch On Front Side: 24:25 #6) Slip Stitch On Back Side: 30:04 #7) Slip Stitch And Chain Method: 34:27 How To Attach More Granny Squares: 40:04 How To Work Over A Join: 41:49 How To Attach More Granny Squares Working Slip Stitch And Chain: 43:47 How To Work Over A Join Working Slip Stitch And Chain: 46:33 Of Course if you have ANY questions feel free to comment below or contact me at any of my Social Media Contacts.

Thank you thank you! These were very Interesting and informative! Thank you for being so in depth. I have made many many granny square blankets and I sew a fleece blanket to the back and then I quilt them together with yarn and they are so warm my grandkids love them and people want me to sell them but they would cost to much to sell them with my time. it's just fun to crochet! thank you for all of your wonderful advice! I will use it in all my projects! God bless you! have a wonderful day!🤗🙏
making my first granny square blanket and this was so helpful and thorough! been crocheting for 20 years and never got around to learning this until now, haha. thank you for the help!
I have never made a granny square blanket before even though I have crocheted most of my life. Thank you for explaining and giving diff methods of joining squares clearly enough and breaking it down so any person new or old to crochet can understand how to complete there project. I have subscribed and liked =)
Thanks so much for putting this video together. I am joining squares with an opposing color and I wanted the stitch to pop and define each square. I'm going to use the slip stitch front side, it's exactly what I was looking for.
The last join you shared would be lovely to use to join panels for a cute summer top, poncho, dress, sweater, so many pretty choices. Thanks for sharing, will save this tutorial to my library.
Also I've been crocheting for 53 years. My grandmother showed me when I was 10. Loved it ever since! My 16 grandchildren love getting my work. I live to knit also but crocheting goes faster. Thanks again!
Thank you Tiffany I love stitches joining granny squares I struggle with one type of joining granny squares since I been watching your show it look easier for me to follow the instruction thank you Tiffany for your help on figuring out the joining of granny squares you have a blessed day enjoy your weekend
I love this tutorial! Can’t wait to try the backwards single crochet even though it will slow me down. I am relatively new to crochet and have been using a slip stitch through all four loops as opposed to either just front or back as in # 5 and 6. It goes really fast and makes a large ridge on one side but is almost invisible on the other. Thanks again!
Thank you so much your tutorial is fantastic big help I got tired of the single crochet you showed me the whip stitch and I love it you make it so quick and easy again thanks for your help 🥰
Very nice work. 👍🏻 You might find it interesting that the reverse crochet stitch you did was known as a “crab” stitch in most vintage patterns. It was most often used on the border edges of clothes or as a final perimeter of an afghan etc.
Oh how cool! Thank you so much for sharing this history with me! I am kinda loving the idea of using this stitch to border clothes now! I really want to try it! 🤗🧡🧶
THANK YOU FOR SPECIFYING WHICH CHAIN TO START IN!!! my joins have nottt been coming out correctly and i just know this is exactly why. i tend to struggle finding where to begin joining but now it should be a lot easier!!
I’ve used the mattress stitch on garments which creates an invisible join on both sides of the work. It’s really neat how the yarn just “disappears”. I’ve also used the “join as you go” method for the mile-a-minute strips, but have not tried it on granny squares…wonder if it would work. I recently used the single crochet to join my hexi blanket and like how fast it went. Thanks for showing all these different ways in one video. It’s an awesome resource!!
I LOVE this video. Watched it more than once to try to memorize the different methods. Perhaps the more I use them, the easier it will be to remember them. Thank you SOOOO much!!
I'm so glad my video helped! I wanted to make sure I answered any question that someone might come across in the process. Make sure you were guided the whole way. 😊💖🧶
Great video Tiffany I am addicted to granny squares love making them for blankets. Really helpful to. Show all the. Different methods.. Thanks so much your amazing. 😊😊😊
I love that reverse single crochet look it’s awesome 👏 and the single crochet on the back loop front loop is also great 👍🏻 but I really think I’d like the reverse single crochet that corded look is amazing and the options would be endless with the color of yarn we use for the join cuz like you said u can use a totally different color from you project for a pop of color! I’m excited to use it!
With the backwards single crochet, I stretch the working yarn loop way long with my hook, then I can just swing the needle to pick up the stitches I want. Once I have the loops on the hook, I just tighten back up the working yarn loop. Just works more efficiently for me. I love to use this on the outside edges of blankets-feels very sturdy.
Thank you Tiffany. I love the reverse single crochet method but I still have trouble keeping it neat and even. Brilliant tutorial I enjoyed seeing all the different methods. Have a great day.
I love the reverse single as an ending to a lot of my problems boarders…I haven’t finished watching but, think I may do this in a colour that will really show the stitches definition. Thank you for all the work you have put into this video.
The reverse single crochet join is one of my favorites. It pops in a way that is very different and intriguing. With the right color combinations it is very flattering. 🤗❤️🧶
@@CrochetWithTiffanyI love the look of this stitch in many applications, but I really struggle with it getting too tight. I’ve also found it’s not a very mobile stitch so it doesn’t work well, say, on a hat brim or anything that needs to be a bit stretchy. Do you think it would affect the drape of the attached squares differently than the other joining methods you demonstrated? Fantastic video, btw. It’s going straight to my reference playlist! 💜
Absolutely brilliant!! Best explained video how to join!! I am doing my first granny square blanket with the slip stich and chains!! I could not get the joint of the next blocks right!! Thank you for sharing your ideas! I was about to give up!! Thank goodness for CZcams!! I wonder how everyone use to get along crocheting in the past with any help! 🥰❤️🧶🌺
YAY! I’m so glad you found my video Paula and that you were able to make this join happen! I try to explain every step or question I think might come up for someone. Oh gosh I have no idea how people were able to learn certain steps and techniques without the visual of CZcams. I’m sure a lot of classes or groups where necessary lifesavers here. 😄❤️🧶
Thank you it was very nice cause I just tried and tried but didn’t know how thank you I have trouble with my eyesight but I still try I’m not professional in crochet but I love the little I know thank you god bless you
I had a difficult time watching this but only because I was focusing on how you hook your yarn with that finger and i dont see how it is comfortable LOL I am making a blanket out of one round granny squares and now have to join over 1000 of these by July. They are 5 different colours as the mum asked for a Navy camo pattern so using the whip stitch just didnt look right. After looking at this vid, i chose #6. I liked 1 and 2, but i cant do the reverse sc and i liked how the squares join with the colours together on 6. Cant wait to see how this plays out Thank you so much for a detailed vid that was well explained! Update: OMG I am loving how this looks!! I'm only working on my 4th row so far. I would've been farther along but I skipped a square on the previous row and had to go back. It's one thing to frog a few rows of stitches, but quite another to have to pull out a full row of joined squares. The join is also making them more square since they are only one row, they tend to be rounded. I wish I could show you how it looks when I finish because I think it's going to be amazing. Thank you again for this wonderful tutorial
What an awesome tutorial from an awesome teacher. Your illustrations were impeccable. Your explanations were concise. I'm saving this tutorial in my favs for easy reference. Thank you so much, Tiffany!
Great tutorial! I’m a beginner trying to make a granny square cardigan and had no idea how to join my squares! Thank you for the time stamps and going over all the methods and how to join them into panels, I was struggling lol
Hi Tiffany!! Thank you for doing this!! I'm making granny squares with a skull in the center and I love the single crochet method for joining the squares!! You're teaching is awesome!!! 🥰🤗💖🙏
That’s so AWESOME!!!! Love the skull in the middle. How cool. Thank you so much for the compliment! I’m so happy my tutorial was helpful. Thanks for watching!! 😊❤️🧶
Hi Tiffany! I love #7 and I am completing a CAL and wanted to find a pretty way to join my squares (different from the CAL). You do a excellent job in explaining how to join this stitch, now I hope I can do it lol. Thank you. Have a wonderful evening.
Inreally love that your granny squares are not perfectly the same size. I'm making my first GS blanket and was concerned about mine being a bit off and having to stretch them out , but now i can see it will just work itself out
This deserves ALL the likes. You actually show the back sides when you're done!!! So amazingly helpful. ❤ ~Heather
Just what I was searching for...all in one video. Thanks.

@jamesclaire115
Can you expand on you use the 6” piece of yarn so your squares are Squared?
@@CynthiaSamuels I think he means that he saves the last row of the square until it's time to put it all together.
THANK YOU! I have looked a lot of video's and this by far is the best and clear instructions. I appreciate you continuing the stiches that connect with the other squares.
I’m so glad my video was helpful. Thank you so much for watching.

I am just finishing my second one. It's helping me deal with my grief😊.

I really love that as soon as I think of a question, it's getting answered. Great tutorial.
Brilliant tutorial! Very clear, calmly spoken, no rushing, and time to see everything before moving on. Thank you Tiffany.

The last join you shared would be lovely to use to join panels for a cute summer top, poncho, dress, sweater, so many pretty choices. Thanks for sharing, will save this tutorial to my library.
Put this video in my library. Thank you for clear & repetitive instructions!!😊
Also I've been crocheting for 53 years. My grandmother showed me when I was 10. Loved it ever since! My 16 grandchildren love getting my work. I live to knit also but crocheting goes faster. Thanks again!
Very clear and informative video. So easy to follow. Thank you very much. A great tutorial xx
We are trying to finish my late mother's granny square afgan with no experience joining squares. Thank you so so much for this!
Thank you so much! So many videos show the stitches but I could not wrap my head around joining multiple rows together until this video!!
I'm so glad my video was helpful! 😊❤️🧶
Thank you Tiffany I love stitches joining granny squares I struggle with one type of joining granny squares since I been watching your show it look easier for me to follow the instruction thank you Tiffany for your help on figuring out the joining of granny squares you have a blessed day enjoy your weekend
Very helpful. I had no idea that there were so many ways to join granny squares. Your instructions are very clear and so easy to follow.
I'm so glad you found my instructions clear and easy to follow! I really try to be as helpful as I can. Thank you for the feedback Lea! 😊🧡🧶

I love this tutorial! Can’t wait to try the backwards single crochet even though it will slow me down. I am relatively new to crochet and have been using a slip stitch through all four loops as opposed to either just front or back as in # 5 and 6. It goes really fast and makes a large ridge on one side but is almost invisible on the other. Thanks again!
I'm so happy to see this all the stitches are beautiful, thank you for sharing ❤
Your voice is very soothing...reminds me of the painter Bob Ross.
Thank you so much your tutorial is fantastic big help I got tired of the single crochet you showed me the whip stitch and I love it you make it so quick and easy again thanks for your help 🥰
Thank you for making joining less daunting, you are a good educator 👩🏻🎓
Thank you for being so thorough and especially for showing how to join across a previous join from the other direction!!🙏🏼💖
You are so welcome! Wanted to answer any question someone might have in the process. 😊❤️🧶
Thanks so much . Love the joining of the 4 corners as I always had trouble at the 4 corners. Thanks again Tiffany.
Very nice work. 👍🏻 You might find it interesting that the reverse crochet stitch you did was known as a “crab” stitch in most vintage patterns. It was most often used on the border edges of clothes or as a final perimeter of an afghan etc.
Oh how cool! Thank you so much for sharing this history with me! I am kinda loving the idea of using this stitch to border clothes now! I really want to try it! 🤗🧡🧶
Thank you so much Tiffany. I just love the slip-stitch chain method. It’s my favorite. 😊
You had me at reverse SC. If only you could see the squares I’m joining; this method is going to be perfect! Omg TY!
👏👍 from northern France. Just love these 7 types of crochet joining..
I appreciate you taking the time to explain the different ways to join Grannie Squares. You are a great teacher and I enjoyed this tutorial.
THANK YOU FOR SPECIFYING WHICH CHAIN TO START IN!!! my joins have nottt been coming out correctly and i just know this is exactly why. i tend to struggle finding where to begin joining but now it should be a lot easier!!
I’ve used the mattress stitch on garments which creates an invisible join on both sides of the work. It’s really neat how the yarn just “disappears”. I’ve also used the “join as you go” method for the mile-a-minute strips, but have not tried it on granny squares…wonder if it would work. I recently used the single crochet to join my hexi blanket and like how fast it went. Thanks for showing all these different ways in one video. It’s an awesome resource!!
Excellent tutorial on all the different awesomeness ways to join granny squares for croqueting and complete types of joined croqueting blankets😁
Wow I have watched several videos but yours explains things so much better. Thank you so much.
I'm so glad my you found my video to be helpful! Thank you so much for watching! 😊❤️🧶
I LOVE this video. Watched it more than once to try to memorize the different methods. Perhaps the more I use them, the easier it will be to remember them. Thank you SOOOO much!!
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much. You definitely are a great teacher!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad my video helped! 😊💖🧶
Best tutorial I've seen, you actually showed all the steps , thank you 😊
I'm so glad my video helped! I wanted to make sure I answered any question that someone might come across in the process. Make sure you were guided the whole way. 😊💖🧶
Thank you so much for this priceless tutorial. It's a masterclass and you are an excellent teacher. Will be referring to it often.
Great video Tiffany I am addicted to granny squares love making them for blankets. Really helpful to. Show all the. Different methods.. Thanks so much your amazing. 😊😊😊
I love that reverse single crochet look it’s awesome 👏 and the single crochet on the back loop front loop is also great 👍🏻 but I really think I’d like the reverse single crochet that corded look is amazing and the options would be endless with the color of yarn we use for the join cuz like you said u can use a totally different color from you project for a pop of color! I’m excited to use it!
With the backwards single crochet, I stretch the working yarn loop way long with my hook, then I can just swing the needle to pick up the stitches I want. Once I have the loops on the hook, I just tighten back up the working yarn loop. Just works more efficiently for me. I love to use this on the outside edges of blankets-feels very sturdy.
I have two granny square blankets in progress, and I needed ideas to join the squares. These are perfect ideas!
Thanks for making this video so clearly and carefully. It has definitely helped me in finishing up my first granny square blanket. 🙏❤️
I like all your methods of joining the granny squares.thank you for sharing it.
Thank you Tiffany. I love the reverse single crochet method but I still have trouble keeping it neat and even. Brilliant tutorial I enjoyed seeing all the different methods. Have a great day.
I learned to do the mattress stitch, that way I won’t visibly see the yarn when I finish my entire work. Love the tutorial
Your instructions are very clear and helpful....best I have seen. Thanks!
I love the reverse single as an ending to a lot of my problems boarders…I haven’t finished watching but, think I may do this in a colour that will really show the stitches definition. Thank you for all the work you have put into this video.
The reverse single crochet join is one of my favorites. It pops in a way that is very different and intriguing. With the right color combinations it is very flattering. 🤗❤️🧶
Do you know what brand & colors of yarn this is plz? I can't find Anything like the blue--which I think sets it off!
@@CrochetWithTiffanyI love the look of this stitch in many applications, but I really struggle with it getting too tight. I’ve also found it’s not a very mobile stitch so it doesn’t work well, say, on a hat brim or anything that needs to be a bit stretchy. Do you think it would affect the drape of the attached squares differently than the other joining methods you demonstrated? Fantastic video, btw. It’s going straight to my reference playlist! 💜
Thanks for this! I love the “cord look”joining!
OMG OMG OMG OMG I’M SO SO GLAD I FOUND THIS!!! I’ve been wanting to learn as many different styles of the granny square and finally found them!!!!!
Your tutorial is just what I needed. Thank you! Your work is beautiful. I am so excited!
I am so glad it helped!
Thank you, this was very helpful for joining my first granny square blanket ❤️
Absolutely brilliant!! Best explained video how to join!! I am doing my first granny square blanket with the slip stich and chains!! I could not get the joint of the next blocks right!! Thank you for sharing your ideas! I was about to give up!! Thank goodness for CZcams!! I wonder how everyone use to get along crocheting in the past with any help! 🥰❤️🧶🌺
YAY! I’m so glad you found my video Paula and that you were able to make this join happen! I try to explain every step or question I think might come up for someone. Oh gosh I have no idea how people were able to learn certain steps and techniques without the visual of CZcams. I’m sure a lot of classes or groups where necessary lifesavers here. 😄❤️🧶
One of the best videos I’ve watched on joining granny squares ❤ thank you!
Thank you so very much!! I really appreciate your feedback. 🥰❤️🧶
Thank you it was very nice cause I just tried and tried but didn’t know how thank you I have trouble with my eyesight but I still try I’m not professional in crochet but I love the little I know thank you god bless you
This video is amazing!!!! I am actually closing my grannies. ❤❤❤thanks a lot
I had a difficult time watching this but only because I was focusing on how you hook your yarn with that finger and i dont see how it is comfortable LOL
I am making a blanket out of one round granny squares and now have to join over 1000 of these by July. They are 5 different colours as the mum asked for a Navy camo pattern so using the whip stitch just didnt look right. After looking at this vid, i chose #6. I liked 1 and 2, but i cant do the reverse sc and i liked how the squares join with the colours together on 6.
Cant wait to see how this plays out
Thank you so much for a detailed vid that was well explained!
Update: OMG I am loving how this looks!! I'm only working on my 4th row so far. I would've been farther along but I skipped a square on the previous row and had to go back. It's one thing to frog a few rows of stitches, but quite another to have to pull out a full row of joined squares. The join is also making them more square since they are only one row, they tend to be rounded. I wish I could show you how it looks when I finish because I think it's going to be amazing. Thank you again for this wonderful tutorial
Ty for adding 4 squares at the end becuz my squares buckled on some of my squares thanks again.
Thank you finally i know how to connect my granny. Iam a beginner...❤
Thank you for your thorough explanations.
Great video. Clear and easy follow instructions.
What an awesome tutorial from an awesome teacher. Your illustrations were impeccable. Your explanations were concise. I'm saving this tutorial in my favs for easy reference. Thank you so much, Tiffany!
I agree about stitch markers to keep the square together while you work on it
I used the whipstitch in both loops to join my squares and they came out beautiful!
That's fabulous! 🤗💖🧶
Great tutorial! I’m a beginner trying to make a granny square cardigan and had no idea how to join my squares! Thank you for the time stamps and going over all the methods and how to join them into panels, I was struggling lol
I'm so glad my video was helpful for you Janelle! I'm excited about this cardigan you are making. How fun! 😊🧡🧶
Hi Tiffany!! Thank you for doing this!! I'm making granny squares with a skull in the center and I love the single crochet method for joining the squares!! You're teaching is awesome!!! 🥰🤗💖🙏
That’s so AWESOME!!!! Love the skull in the middle. How cool. Thank you so much for the compliment! I’m so happy my tutorial was helpful. Thanks for watching!! 😊❤️🧶
