- In this video I will show you how I crochet my granny squares without starting each round with chaining 3. It has always bothered me how it looks, and this is my technique for avoiding it.

Thank you so much!! You’ve made my OCD heart happy!! 😊
🤣 Happy to hear that!
THANK YOU! I ripped out the same square 6 times because of those chain gaps and I’ve been searching CZcams for an hour looking for the solution. The chains aren’t as noticeable with a variegated yarn in a traditional square, but making a solid granny in a solid color is a no-go with the gapping. Thank you SO much 👏
You’re so welcome! I’m really glad to hear that.
I like your technique. I will have to keep pausing the video, but I really like the look. Thank you so very much.
You’re very welcome!
I love this! I agree with you, I don't like the chain 3 look either. Thank you for this video!
Cool! You’re so welcome!
For the larger holes in the starting corner I
sc-ch 2-ch 1(instead of 2 like other corners)
You should just chain three and still join at the 2nd chain from the single crochet...that will make the corner space smaller...I was just recently watching someone else who also subtracted one chain from a corner joining...the very act of joining stretches the stitch so you only need 1 chain at that corner.
I'm a knitter and I've only just started crocheting. I love the speed of it compared to knitting but I could not deal with the ugly (in my opinion) holes at the joins and edges. Your technique is amazing! Thank you!!!
I’m so glad to hear that Daniel. Thank you!
Using your technique now...LOVING IT!!!🤗💖

I am so happy to hear that! Thanks for the comment!
I know this is an older post but another method for this is instead of chaining at all you can do a single crochet and then another single crochet in the side of the first single crochet. This look identical to a double and is completely undetectable ❤
Cool! Thanks!
