🔥 Frequently Asked Questions:
Do you have a left handed version of this video? If you are left handed, you can convert ANY video on CZcams yourself! Simply go to www.mirrorthevideo.com/ and follow the instructions to mirror flip any video to convert to left handed!
How much yarn will I need? This is a very tricky question to answer as there are so many variables! How much yarn you need will depend on which yarn you choose, the thickness of that yarn, your tension and how large you want your finished project to be. I suggest making a small sample first so you can gauge how much yarn you'll need. If making a crochet square, you can weigh your finished square to work out how much yarn it used!
How many squares do I need for a blanket? That all depends on the size of the square you are making and how big you want your finished blanket to be! I always advise making one square first then measuring the size of it. From there you can work out how many squares you will need to get the blanket size you want 😀
Do you have the written pattern? Yes! I have written patterns to accompany my video tutorials on my website here: www.hookedbyrobin.com The written pattern is generally released a week or so after the video tutorial to ensure there are no errors in the video itself and to make amendments in the written version if any are found. All the written patterns are FREE to access on my website
How can I print the pattern from your website? Do you have downloadable PDF's? Not at this time no. This may change in the future but for now, I only provide the written pattern directly on my website.
Can you remake this video so it is slower? If the video speed is too fast, you can slow it down! 😀 See this video on exactly how: • How to Adjust the Spee...
Why do you use American stitch terminology? I learnt using USA stitch terms, long before I even knew there was a difference between UK & US terminology! American terms are my "first language" so to speak. If you need a conversion chart, I have one here! www.hookedbyrobin.com/crochet...

They're lovely Robin and who's not gonna love not having a million ends to sew in? Ok so there maybe wouldn't be a million but it feels like it when you have to do it 😭😂
It DEFINITELY feels like a million 🤣
I've been crocheting for over 50 years and still learning new things. The little "jogs" wouldn't bother me one little bit. Absolutely hate weaving in tails. Thanks for showing this to us. ❤
Me too! No one wants to weave in the tails.😅 I am glad you like it.😀
This way is so much better than having dozens of tails to weave in. Thank you so much for sharing your way of dealing with yarn tails. It’s a beautiful project. 💜🙏🏻
Absolutely Kathy, no one wants to weave lots of tails in.🫣😅
You had me at “carrying your yarn up each row” 😂 these squares are a welcome sight 😊
So much easier!😅🥳
Just started to crochet. I will definitely be carrying my yarn up. It is so well explained like all your videos. Thank you for all your help with my crochet journey.🥰
Awwh, thank you for such a lovely comment Heather. I am glad my videos have helped your crochet.😀🧶
Love everything you do and your tutorials are amazing
Aw thank you so much! 🥰🧶
@@HookedbyRobin are their anymore lives in the pipeline?
Not at the moment I am afraid.x
Definitely carry over to avoid weaving ends! 😊 Thanks for sharing!
You're so welcome Kim!😀
Hi Robin I was watching creative grandma and her grandson Cody and Cody was showing off some items that he had made from your videos so I deciwd to drop by and boy was Cody right you explain things very well and make it very easily to follow along so I looked at some of your videos and liked what saw so I subscribe to your Channel can wait to get started on a projects. Thank you
Awwh, that’s so lovely - I didn’t know that!😃 Thank you for letting me know and subscribing!🥰
I love this. ❤ Tailends are the bane of my crocheting life.
Mine too!😅🫣
Look who's back...back again!🥳🧶
🧶😉
No way Robin !no more suffering and stressing with those annoying tails 😤such a time saver to crack on with the fun stuff ❤
Exactly 😅🧶
I have always struggled with the moss stitch. It seems easy with the most basic of stitches, but invariably always puckers or pulls or the chain spaces are hard to identify in the first few rows. I appreciate the ‘slowness’ and attention to detail in your tutorial. You have given me renewed hope! I might finally be convinced that moss stitch isn’t the worst stitch in the world! Thank you x
You can absolutely do this Mary! It is just practice - let me know how you get on.😀x
Robin is fantastic for her slow easy instructional videos. And so far, the moss stitch is my favorite one. 😍
Thank you so much!🥰
I’m new to crochet & all your videos are so helpful. I am a long time knitter & I love being able to change & carry colors easily WITHOUT weaving a million ends -- these squares are beautiful.
Awwh, I am so glad they help!😀 No million ends to weave in is a game changer! I am also super impressed you can knit, as I can't.😅
❤️ This is brilliant! I never thought to turn your work to help make the square a “square”. Thank you!!! 😃
You are so welcome! 😀🧶
Very lovely and I appreciate the carrying up the yarn.
Thank you Wilma!😃🤗
I love this stitch. I think I'll use one solid colour and use up my scraps for my second colour. There's just so many possibilities. Thank you for this video.
Such a good idea Rose,I always love a stash buster.😃🧶
I really like and appreciate all of your clear and so helpful videos. Thank you. Also no horrible jarring and annoying music that ruins so many other available tutorials.
Thank you so much Yvonne, that is much appreciated.🥰
I just love ❤️ this pattern! THANK YOU RB ❤ HI STEVE ❤
You’re so welcome!🥰
Why do you turn your work on a square instead of just continuing the square?
I think I figured out why. My 1st square I made for my temp blanket the center was wonky buy now with your video it looks alot better. Glad someone directed me to your video on the reddit page !!
Love the color yarn you are using.
I was glad when you wove in the tail in the middle. 😊 It was annoying. This is a nice square with single crochet instead double crochets. 👍👍
😅 it was driving me bonkers whilst filming too!
Brilliant! Such a boon. Who’s not going to love a pattern without all those interminable ends to sew in? Just love it. Thank you!💕Linda
Absolutely Linda! It saves so much time too.😃🥳
Another interesting tutorial, Robin!
Thank you Selina!😃🤗
Looks great & I totally understand fellow crocheters not wanting all the ends. However, I'm one of the weirdos that weave as I go & enjoy it. I know...🤪🧶
I LOVE your tutorials, Robin. It feels like I'm sitting down beside a friend who's gently teaching me.
😅 I wish I enjoyed weaving them in but noooooo! Thank you so much Rhonda, that's lovely to read!x
I'm going to make the squares just as you have done. I've been crocheting for 23 years and enjoy discovering new wats and designs. This pattern of the moss stitch my favorite stitch by the way is beautiful. Wonderfully done thank you for your time showing us all this beautiful square.bim going to use it to make a blanket for a great grand baby. Again thank you.
My pleasure Diana and that sounds like a lovely blanket!😀
Concerning stitch markers: I work my slip stitch in without removing the marker. It helps me to not lose my place, plus it gives me a little leverage to get into the last stitch. Then I remove the marker after making the stitch.
Great tip, thank you Therese!😀🧶
I feel like I've been waiting my whole life for this square😂❤
You definitely have to make some then.😃
Robin, I just found your channel today and I am so glad. I absolutely ❤ how you explain the directions and take the time to show us exactly what you mean. I will definitely be trying the new way of changing colors as that looks so much simpler than the old way. Thank you so much Robin!!!!
You're very welcome, I am glad it helped!😀🧶
Your are the best over all for giving instructions!! This is the best instructions yet out of everyone doing this stitch!!! Thanks so much!!!
How kind, thank you Dianne!😀🤗
LOVE these squares! Thank you for sharing!
I’m glad you love them Peggy, they are fun!😃🧶
Very well with the instructions! Love them.
Thank you so much Chrissie!🥰🤗
Oh Carry! Carry! Carry! All the way. Thank you for sharing 💜
Absolutely Michele!😀🧶
Beautiful technique. Thanks Robin.
You’re so welcome Nancy!🥰🤗
This is beautiful
Thank you Lorraine!
I absolutely love your tutorials -- you are such a wonderful instructor!
Thank you so much Barb!😃🥰
Love this pattern. Thank you! I was needing a baby blanket idea. ❤
I’m glad it helps, enjoy making your baby blanket.😃
Beautiful. Thank you for the easy to follow tutorial.
You’re welcome Sheryl, I’m glad you like it.😃🧶

I’m pleased it helps Laura, let me know how you get on.😃🤗
You make the best videos. They are so easy to understand and follow. Thank you for sharing your skills.
Awwh, thank you so much Cheryl!😃🤗
How gorgeous! ❤
Thank you Pammy!😃🧶
this tutorial is SO wonderful!! i'm going to use this to make some new coasters for my desk : ) thank you!!
Such a great idea!😀 What colours are you thinking of using?
@@HookedbyRobin i ended up making three coasters, using three colors total (two for each coaster). green, deep wine, and mustard yellow. they came out AMAZING! 😁
I love a mustard yellow!😍
Really great idea Robin! Thank you 💜💜💜
You’re welcome Sara!😃🤗
Such a cool effect! Thank you for the tutorial!
You're so welcome!😀🧶
Beautiful as always❤
Thank you so much Kerry!🥰🤗
Hi Robin!! I love this pattern and the way you did it save time in weaving in a lot of tails thank you for sharing
Hello Maria, lovely to see you here.😀 It saves so much time!x
These would make lovely placemats thank you Robin beautiful work 😊Amanda xx💖
Great idea Amanda!😃 They’d look lovely in Christmas colours too.😍
So beautiful I love it 👍👍 thank you for sharing the tutorial
Thank you! I’m glad you love it.😃🧶
Can't wait to try this. Thanks for a great tutorial as always, I've tried so many new stitches by following your lead as I find it hard to read patterns but easier to watch and copy ❤
Me too Laura, I am such a visual learner too! I am pleased the videos help.😀
Robin I love your crochet tutorials, I have a question about how to change colors in crochet?????
After doing the moss stitch on two blankets, this looks super simple! Thanks Robin. I can't wait to try it out! ❤
It is, let me know how you get on with it.😃🧶
Thank you so much for sharing this it looks fab 🙂
You’re so welcome Sarah!😃🧶
Thank you. I've been obsessed with the moss stich this year I never knew I could do a square I also love you use stich markers some people say they help but never use them in their tutorials. You now have given me a cool idea for a cowl. I would definitely carry the yarn ❤
Yesss! Moss stitch works so well in a square and good idea on the cowl Shannon.😀
This is one of my favourite stitches and I’m so on board with carrying the yarn to eliminate tails. LOVE IT ❤
Me too Holley, no one has time for a million tails.😅🫣
Hi Robyn,
I really enjoyed this stitch. I love the carry-on stitch. I enjoy your channel. ❤
Hi Vicki, thank you so much!😃 I’m glad you enjoyed it too.
WOW Robin, This is a Beautiful pattern, I love it 👍💯😍. Thank you so much 🥰
Thank you Ethel!😃 Are you going to make some?
@@HookedbyRobin Yes Definitely Robin 💯
Love the design and definitely carry the yarn 🎉❤
Thank you Jan!😃🧶
Hi Robin,
I really enjoy your tutorials. This one is great. I can't wait to try it. I like how you can carry your yarn and save all the end weaving.
It is so much easier Virginia and saves time!😃🥳
OMG you never disappoint! Oh my this is such a beautiful square stitch. I love it!!!❤🎉😊 Thank you so much Robin. #FiberArtistGoddess❤
Awwh, thank you Stephanie!🥰🤗
Love it! 😊
Thank you! 🤗🧶
Beautiful ❤thank you 😊
You are most welcome! 🤗🧶
Robin.....what jogs?😉
I avoid projects that have a gazillion tails to weave in like the plague! However....in your ever so patient way, you never fail to provide a handy dandy video like this. Though I confess at Row 1-2....I was ready to deep six my phone😂❣️❣️
😂 I am glad you stuck with it Carolynn!x
So Beautiful 😍
Thank you so much!😃🧶
Thank you. I really like the pattern and the denseness of the fabric - smaller spaces/ holes. I’ll be using this pattern for some squares in a sampler Afghan. It can be made larger easily. Would be nice for a cushion. So many ideas.
Absolutely!😃I am glad it has inspired you with lots of ideas, I like the cushion idea.
Love this, will have to give it a go, thank you
You’re welcome Dominique!😃
Very pretty! If I ever get done with my current WIPS, I will definitely carry the yarn. Not a fan of sewing in tails lol
Me neither and I always have a pile of WIPs too!😅🫣
❤nice pattern looks pretty love your videos thanks
Thank you so much Eleanor!😃🧶
Merci beaucoup! C’est un truc extra!🎉
Vous êtes les bienvenus, je suis heureux que vous l’aimiez Martine.😀
❤ Danke Liebe Robin, das ist wirklich ein sehr wunderschönes Muster, gefällt mir sehr gut, daraus mache ich eine Decke ❤
Hallo Monika, das ist eine tolle Idee! Ich wünsche euch viel Spaß beim Basteln eurer Decke daraus.😀x
Hello ! This project is amazing 😊
Thank you so much Julian!😃
You had me at "Without cutting the yarn" yay!!!?
So much easier!😃🧶
Brilliant thank you...
You’re so welcome!😃🧶
Really like this... Might make some coasters ❤
Great idea, they would look lovely.😃
I LOVE the look of alternating linen stitch. Looks much more complicated than it actually is since you get those vertical lines! I started a hexagon cardigan like this, but now I don’t think I remember exactly how I did my color transitions each row since I was making it up at the time. 😅
I agree, it is so much easier than it looks!😀 Your cardigan sounds great.x
This is gorgeous and so easy. Except I'd start with a 2 loop Magic Ring. Once pulled tight, and remembering that the yarn is already going around the centre twice, just cut off the tail. No weaving in necessary. I'd also finish with an invisible join, but that's just aesthetics.
Thanks for the tips Robyn!😀🧶
Yes, closing the hole does make a difference. It was bothering me too 😊
It absolutely does!😃
I love making infinite granny square blankets and this looks great, I'll have to try it, thank you. I personally like to always put an extra slip stitch in the first round to end up in the corner and from then on always turn on the corner, I wonder how the carrying the yarn would work out with that?
Another wonderful tutorial! I love the moss stitch. While I was watching I thought “why not just keep going and make one large square for a blanket?” What do you all think?
That would look amazing Patti!😀😍
this is stunning thankyou for sharing i have a lot of varigated yarn and would love to do a blanket can i do this in one colour
You can definitely do it in one colour if you want Lisa.😃
I just started making this from your video. I'm loving it!!! I made a couple of adjustments though....I started with a double magic circle and I'm changing colours in the corner. I'm also not turning every round. It's there a reason why you turn every round?.
Could you please demo how to join as you go with these moss stitch squares?
Love this square is it possible to continue this square into one big afghan ?
Yes absolutely!
Beautiful. Can you continue for a full size afghan?
Yes absolutely! 😃🧶
Thank you Robin!
That's really a good idea with just a few ends to weave in.. And these colors reminds me of ginger bread cookies 😂
Ooooh yes!😅😍
Hi Robin 👋👋👋👋😊
Hello Teresa!😃🤗
Could you make a video with a solid moss granny stitch? I feel like it gets hard to follow if you wanna do one color, it’s hard to tell what’s part of the actual square and what’s part of the color change.
Love this idea - I have so many projects that I need to weave the ends in and they wait for ages lol. Would this work for granny clusters too?
I have a traditional granny square with a similar method of carrying up the yarn here: czcams.com/video/XfuX_mjfUh8/video.htmlsi=GW-diDxzvvd37yXG 😀
That's brilliant news, thanks Robin
Beautiful work and tutorial once again. I'm only at rnd 2, but I can't wait any longer 😂😂!! Am I correct in assuming that if you don't want to change colour, you just ignore the colour change part and carry on? Ooooh also, lush colour on your nails ❤❤.xx
That’s right Ginny!😃
@@HookedbyRobin thank you hun.xx
I really like this pattern but to be honest I would not crochet it if I had to sew all the tails in. I say "love those jogs". I really enjoyed this tutorial.
Exactly, no one wants to sew in tails!😅
So it kinda like a.granny square but with singke crochet. I hate weaving in so i always carry my yarn when i do multi coloured stuff.thanks for the pattetn might try it
Absolutely give it a go Gwen!😃🧶
Lovely pattern and an upgrade to the granny square. How large can you go with this? Will it be good for a tv throw? I also liked the demonstration yarn but you didn’t mention it on your side information panel. Can you please tell me Robin…many thanks 🧶🧶 Maria
Oh apologies for that Maria! I used Papatya Super Stitch for the demonstration 😃
Oh and you can take it as large as you wish! 😃🧶
Hi Robin ! These is a fantastic square ! Is it dense ?
Hi Dawn, it depends what yarn you are using really but definitely give it a go. Some people are using them as coasters.😀
@@HookedbyRobin thank you for replying !
So I could use this pattern to make a blanket? Would I just continue till my blanket is as big as I want? I am only using variegated yarn.
Beautiful squares thank you Robin but what can we use these squares for l mean making what?
@@CraigDavidson8 very well thanks lol
@@CraigDavidson8 Greece
Hi Anna, anything you fancy! Some people are making them into a blanket or a cardigan, coasters etc.😀
So what do i do if i only use one solid color do i still do that in that space where that first color is used. Im confused
Carry. Fo sho
Long time fan, infrequent commenter, and I have a quick question. This seems like it would possibly be easier with a magic ring for the beginning? Is there a specific reason you went with a slip stitch start? Thanks so much! 😊
Also how come you decided to flip your work while working in the round? Just style?
To be clear: not criticisms!! This pattern has my brain working in all kinds of ways on all different ideas and I’m curious. Great video!
They are lovely. Quick question if I may. I am trying to crochet a cat's tail in " the cat in the window Afghan". It is a grey background and the tail is black. The tail is one stitch in thickness and the pattern moves the tail over by one stich every few rows. For some reason I have gaps in that the black tail is broken up by the background colour and I have tried everything. Any ideas? Hope this makes sense.
I don't know that pattern I'm afraid x
THANK YOU AGAIN ROBIN FOR SHARING ALL YOUR TIME CONSUMING STITCHES AND HARD WORK! SO VERY BEAUTIFUL AS ALWAYS. YOUR SO BRILLANT!❤😊🎉
FIBERARTISTGODDES
Thank you so much Stephanie, your support is always so appreciated. You have made my day!😃🥰
I'm wondering if you could do a blanket out of this stitch.
Definitely!😀
Can i use a solid color one color?
Absolutely!😀
