    THANK YOU! I've been through several other granny square vids for beginners (me), and you have been the only one who taught me how to do this. Awesome! :o)

      Thanks. Im learning again to crochet. Aim 80 and last time I crocheted it was a baby blanket for my 3rd daughter who will 47 next week. Thanks for your video. It's the 3rd one I've watched and your video was the clearest. Repetition helps I think.

    I'm a knitter with minimal crochet skills. I've been trying to learn how to make Granny Squares for decades. I've tried from books and later tried from other videos, but I've always given up in frustration. I am so excited because I finally understand the construction! Thank you so much for sharing this. You are a fabulous teacher! Now I'm going to go practice.

    I was taught how to knit by my gran when I was a little girl but I recently decided to try to learn crochet. I almost gave up as the video tutorials I watched were so confusing! But then I found Leah's and the way she teaches is very easy to follow; I especially like her little mantras as they really help me. Also, her explanation of when to chain and when not to has made the art of crocheting much less puzzling to me as a complete novice. Thank you!

    This is such a great tutorial. Thank you for explaining things so clearly with the sides and corners and slip stiches, and for not going too fast or too slow. I initially was chaining three before every DC and knew it didn't look right. So helpful.

    Hi Leah - Thank you so much for a really EASY TO FOLLOW tutorial on the Granny Square. I sat all afternoon yesterday, LOL and well, it didn't look like a GS but I could not tell where I was going wrong. You gave an excellently slow and very well explained tutorial. It was nice that you didn't show one set and then fasten up at 100 miles an hour. I shall try again today. I am a quilter and knitter, but really wanted to make a granny square. Thank you for sharing. Linda x

    Thanks for this great teaching video. I have crocheted for years, but stayed away from GS, thought they were just to fiddly, but after watching you tutorial, I have made up a couple of samples, and it was very easy. Thank you, as others have said the best video on GS.

  • @mommafitbit3701
    @mommafitbit3701 3 роки тому

    I did it !!!.. after a weekend of making granny circles and a few pentagons... your showed me what I was doing wrong.. I was chaining 2 or 3 after every 3 dc. I finally have a square after 2 rows. I want to make sure I can master the 2 rows all of the time before I go onto more. I know your vid was posted years ago, but please know late bloomers like me are watching. Sad to hear you stopped making crochet videos -we beginners need all the help we can get !

    • @LeahDay

    Leah! You are an exceptional teacher. I used to make granny squares with my Mom. That was many many years ago and she passed away in 2000. I still have one of the throws that we both made. Now I want to start again, but have totally forgotten everything I once knew. Your demo is outstanding and I can’t wait to begin crocheting again. Of course I will watch you video again and again until it sticks in my failing memory. However, you demo is exceptionally easy to understand and follow. Bless you! Linda

    • @LeahDay
      @LeahDay  7 років тому +1

      You're super welcome! It's a tricky block to quilt without seeing it and I kept crocheting myself a messy ball when I first learned. Keep the corners really organized and it will always work out right.

    Like your video, absolute beginner here. but my square is actually more of an oblong circular creation. Think I’ve done too many chains instead of waiting for corners, will just keep going and try to make into a square. I’ve been turning playback speed slower so I can watch and try and keep up. Thanks :)

      Yep, it sounds like you've done chains in the wrong places. Only in the corners.

    How can I add different colors?thank you for this tutorial you are the best

    • @LeahDay
      @LeahDay  3 роки тому

      You can add a new color when you slip stitch to begin the next row. Hiding the thread tails is a bit tricky because of the open spaces.

    I've browed for beginner crochet, and I've just happened on your site. Now I'm confused. Question about your chain: You seem to put your hook on the right side of the yarn and pull it through. Other videos put the hook on the left side of the yarn, go under and pull through. Is either way acceptable to make a chain? Thank you.

    • @LeahDay
      @LeahDay  5 років тому +2

      Yes, either way is fine. A chain is a chain stitch. Grab the yarn and pull it through. It does not matter which side or angle the yarn is pulled from.

    Wow spent a lifetime chaining one on the sides and chaining two on corners. Comes out the same however at least can’t tell the difference in the granny square. Learn different things all the time.

    • @LeahDay
      @LeahDay  5 років тому +1

      I don't think there's a 100% right or wrong way to do it! This is just the method I like for turning the corners with an obvious corner.

    Hello..approximately how many squares to make about a double size throw?

    • @LeahDay
      @LeahDay  Рік тому +1

      That depends on the size of your squares... and the size of your yarn and the hook. Make a few squares and measure them, then divide the size of blanket you want by the size of squares - 80 / 4 = 20 squares

    @maddiesierra4016 7 років тому +1

    the first 8 minutes of the video, when I finished doing everything... it looked like a circle. is it because im making my chains too loose or is it something else?

    • @LeahDay
      @LeahDay  7 років тому

      You need to tug on the corners that are chained to make it more of a square shape from the beginning. Remember you ONLY chain in the corners, not the sides. Double check your stitches to see if there is a mistake.

    Hi Leah Day I have been trying to crochet rectangle in a granny square pattern but I don't know how to start the pattern so is any way you could do a video on how to start the pattern sorry I don't know how to read the pattern on pattern Thank you soon much.

    • @LeahDay

      I'm sorry, but crochet is not the focus of my videos. I'm honestly not sure how to make a granny square into a rectangle.

  • @jonest1627
    @jonest1627 5 років тому

    At some point, you will no longer need to cross stitch or flip correct? When I was young my mom would start it for me and i would finish a blanket. I never cross stitched or had to flip.

    • @LeahDay
      @LeahDay  4 роки тому

      There are probably a million ways to crochet this block. You can of course change the method to fit your needs.

    How would you make the square bigger? I want mine to be about 3.5 inches.

    • @LeahDay
      @LeahDay  7 років тому +4

      Just keep adding more rows - chain 3 to start the next row, then 3 DC into each open space, then in the corners 3 DC, Ch3, 3 DC to turn the corner. You can keep adding more rows and you can change colors too and make an entire blanket with just this one square pattern.
