It really is beautiful Arne
I love when your blanket or afghan gets long enough that it covers you and it's both warm and cozy and you're still completing it. It also is a puppy or kitty magnet
I LOVE the look and drape of the throw with this way of joining. Thank you for writing out the pattern for it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you--I just discovered your web site and the whole day has now passed. I learned steeking, how to crochet a bird feeder, how to put together an idea book and now this, how to crochet squares together!
Ohh, the joy !! For over 10 years I have had app 130 squares lying in a drawer. They are made from differnt yarn thickness, and it would look horrible if stitched together. . Now I have made the "rows" your way, and begun to assemble them, and HURRAAY ! A beautyful blanket appears in front of me ! The fleible connetion makes the squares fit perfectly together, and a light grey colour makes it all come "alive". I am SO , SO happy !!!! Thankyou, thankyou , thankyou :D
I love learning the Norwegian words!!! Plz plz continue this....It's just wonderful! I'm so grateful I found you! I'm in Tennessee U.S.A. in the Great Smokey Mountains.
Hi Freja! Loved how you were bring so good during the filming playing with your little toy doggie! After decades, I finally learned how to join Granny squares by crocheting them together! Thank you for teaching me, Arne & Carlos, and for posting the next three Hug Me Later squares! They are most welcome! Feel better soon, Carlos!
You are welcome Karen, thank you for watching!
I have become addictive to you two delightful guys. Every demo is informative and beautifully executed. I am amazed at how many techniques I learned. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

Those colors and the work on that Afghan are perfection!
Beautiful blanket.,
Wow, my head is spinning...lol! I made mine with a modified whip stitch which made a pretty design.
Sounds beautiful!
Thank you so much! Lovely tutorial with lovely people.
Thank you both very much .. Love watching you
Thank you so much for providing these instructions. You guys are so great.
You guys are so much fun to watch!
First I want to thank you both Arne and Carlos for sharing all your knowledge and experience, all about what life bring to you and finally to all the viewers. I just finish some squares for a blanket and I was not satisfied with all the techniques I search on the Web. I remember you with a book I took at my local library and check if you had some site that I could refer to reach to you. How happy I am now when I found you there....I took note of this joining technique and keep it for any other project in my crochet booklet. For sure Arne is very fast but for experienced crocheters, we can follow him, it's possible. Carlos is supporting very well also for the ''crochet language''. You are a very sympathical couple and I just love (like many of us) and enjoy watching both of you doing one of your passions : crocheting and knitting. Just a fresh breath in sharing this piece of life. A big thank you!!
You are welcome!
Exquisite work. Beautiful.
Perfect. I got it in a couple of tries. Thank you for sharing so many helpful ways to make a beautiful blanket.
Love this beautiful colorful crochet work! Love to join crochet and knit together! Interesting and informative video. Thank you very much!!- KrissWool
Thank you for this lovely joining just beautiful
So beautiful
love it
Thanks for sharing
I truly enjoyed your demonstration of the joining. I'm excited to use it on my next project. Thank you for all your videos. enjoy your day.
What a happy coincidence! I just borrowed a copy of your book Knit-and-Crochet Garden- very inspirational!
Your way of joining is less complicated than some I have seen in the US and UK. As for the langue, I find it very informative.
This is a great way to learn different terms in another language. Hearing the word/term makes it clearer and teaches another language. Thank you two are great, never complicated instructive.
I love you guys, your great. 💖
Wonderful!
That's a beautiful way to join granny squares! I am making tiny granny squares and making the last row in black on all of them so there's black in between the squares. This would be so much prettier and I wouldn't have to stitch the squares together, which is where I usually ruin my afghans because I don't do it with the proper tension or I don't do it the right way. I was never shown how to do it, so I'm sure that it's a combination of both. I've been crocheting since I was very young, in the 1960's, and of course there was no internet. My grandmother did beautiful work, but her English wasn't good enough for her to teach me. I'm so grateful to have you to help me learn the proper way to knit and crochet.
Thank you so much for your tutorials, especially for the translation into UK crochet terms. Not many people do that.....it's really appreciated!! Thank you again.
You both are very lovely artists🌹👏🏾🌹👏🏾🌹👏🏾🌹👏🏾🌹👏🏾🌹👏🏾🌹
Thank you!
it's a beautiful way to join these squares! great tutorial👍thanks!
You are welcome Lily
This is the best and elegant way to join granny square. I really loved it. Thank you for sharing! Hugs from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
I love this join stitch, opens up many possibilities for me. I needed a nice join for an odd shaped granny square and fits my needs beautifully
Wow, I think I will use this to put that cardigan together to give it more stretch. I will make a scarf first to practice. Thanks guys.
Thank you, I have woven squares and want to put them together with a pretty joining to make a wrap, I think this will be perfect.
Love your website. I'm pretty much a beginner, but could see everything I need to know, there. Your system is great. I can enjoy the show here, with you guys chatting away, then go to your website, and get the knitty, gritty... pun intended. lol. I love you guys, and want to thank you for this great system with all that free info. I can spend as much time as I need to make it all work. I love this way of crocheting together the granny squares. Thanks for showing us all the details of how to do it.
I love to watch you knit and crochet. I wish I could do it that fast! Thank you for all the information!
melatina66 אני מננת ולומדת המון תודה

😄
" that's pretty fast" ...."but it is" lol. beautifully done!
Simply beautiful blanket, thank you! Oh, and that precious pup, sooooooo cute!!!!!! I want to steal him!😍😍 love from Singapore.
Hi Arne and Carlos, I hope you'll still be reading comments to this video and can answer my urgent question! I've been a fan of yours since years and own all your books and some of your patterns, although until this year I've been only a knitter, and didn't really dare to attempt something like one of those wonderful blankets of yours. Following your quarantine podcast earlier this year (which I'm so grateful for as it saved my sanity during those difficult weeks - thank you again so much for doing this!) I also came across your first video for this blanket. As the knitted hug-me-later squares were too complicated for my state of mind back then, and after following your explanations which made it look so easy, I thought why not give it a go. I orderd wool (I didn't have suitable scraps) and got out my dusty crochet hooks, and indeed it was very easy, and really fun. For the first two months I did one square per day, and just finished with nr. 80 yesterday. But when laying them out for a nice pattern (I made each one different than the other) I found that some are a bit smaller than others, perhaps a 5-7mm difference of the side length of a square. I suppose this happened because I had to get a more ergonometric hook in-between as I was starting to have problems, or perhaps I started to crochet much looser once the pandemic tension and worry eased up. Who knows. But now I don't know what to do: should I steam the squares first and hope that's enought to even them out? Should I perhaps add a line of "fastmaske" once around the smaller squares? (I'm happy each time you're using Norwegian terms as I'm German and I understand them much better than the English ones as I'm not familiar with those). Or will it even out eventually when having finished the blanket and steaming it as a unit?
I also though tabout uUsing all smaller squares in one row, but that would break the overall pattern idea I had (alternating dark and light outer rows of each square) and not look so good. Thank you so much already! Thank you also for all your lovely videos, I'm often sitting watching them when knitting or, recently, crocheting, and I've learned a LOT from them.
You are a good team when doing your tutorials !
Thank you Lori!
Hello from Arkansas, USA! 🙋
I very much enjoy your videos
Thanks for sharing your crochet talent and ideas:) I saw your pinterest pin regarding knitting a heel for a sock and was inspired to try knitting socks again! Thanks! enjoy your ideas!
Your dog or cat is adorable
I love seeing Freya snuggle on the Afghan. Hooking together with crochet is a nice option.
She loves the Afghan!
Beauttiful thanks
I love the variation on the granny square! I realized it looked somewhat ''warmer'', with the four Treble crochet instead of 3 doubles like is so common. Thank goodness for folks like you showing us there are different ways! Also, the sequence of joining, shown here, works with the 4 Trebles, (as there are single crochet placed in between certain stitches (posts) from the round before) it makes it pliable, and stretchy soft. I did have a good laugh when Carlos reached into his scrap yarn pulled out a ball of yarn with its label still on. I do not have any new yarn in my scrap bin. haha.
I know Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot my password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!
@Elliot Hank instablaster :)
@Alvin Porter Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Alvin Porter it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my ass !
@Elliot Hank You are welcome :)
Bonne santé à vous deux génial tutoriel
Thank you!
very useful tutorial, thanks guys
You're welcome!
Thank you, I will do that way.
Arne crochets just like me!!!
Thank you 😊
Just discovered your self-patterned yarn at a yarn shop in Sydney, Australia. Just love your videos and blog.😊. Watching from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
Brill crochet tutorial. Thank you.
Just to say Srne and Carlos my local carpenter made me a very simple Nostepinna as you suggested. It doe not have the rattle on the end but it does the job .
Keep safe and once again thank you for the tutorials and allowing us into your beautiful home.
Lol Jacqui UK x
Thank you and good idea to get a local carpenter to make you one.
Wow. Is your hand or wrists sore from crocheting so quickly? Amazing. I like how you join them, looks much more finished than normal stitching. I don't crochet (prefer knitting) but looks like a fun winter project with a good TV show on.
Hello from Australia🇦🇺Love watching your videos.
Hi Jeanette!
Beautiful technique. I will admit a little confusing, but with the instructions and re-watching the video several times, I am sure, with some practice, I can master. Think I will take two “practice grannie squares” to practice joining before attempting on a major project to get the technique down. Thanks as always. ❤️❤️❤️
You are welcome!
Thank you very much for this beautiful joining. It would be lovely if you show us how to join 4 granny squares together, the bit at the corner where they all cross.
Good tutorial suggestion.
Love it! Thank you guys you are terrific!!! Oh and my love to Freye, I hope I spelled her name right! She looks so precious you should have her join you more often! :)
色とりどりで、素敵ですね〜。😘💕

Hi Arne and Carlos. This tutorial is something I have been wanting to learn for a while. I have been knitting larger squares (12 inches by 12 inches) in recycled denim cotton yarn to make a blanket for my 16-year-old son, and I will soon have enough squares to assemble the blanket. A friend suggested I could join the squares with crochet rather than the usual mattress stitch. I like that you pointed out that crochet makes the blanket stretchier; it's true that the mattress stitch makes the seams rather rigid. Do you agree that I could try to crochet the squares together? First, I will have to learn how to crochet, but it might be worth the effort! Thanks. Chris in DC.
A mí me gusta mucho el crochet¡¡ He hecho varias mantas
diferentes.
Hello Arne and Carlos where have you guys been all this time ? I Love your Projects and the way you explain even in the funny Kind. Please keep on and I am looking forward hearing Lots more from you Two. With lots of greetings from Conny in Germany 😍
Hi Conny! Welcome to our channel, we hope you like it here.
@@ARNECARLOS Yes I think I will even Like it a Lot. Because you guys explain on a funny way and even I can understand it. Thank you very much for your Response and the Heart you gave me. Have a nice day Conny
Great techniques.
Now that horizontal direction is crochet together, what happens at the X, Y intersections of crochet please?
Thank you.

Hi guys! really love your style. And I understand everything what you are saying...that is sometimes hard to me because I amd from Chile, I live in Germany, so the english or american accent is sometimes hard to understand...but you have a nice and clear english :)
Ihr seid ein schönes Paar !!
Viele Grüße aus Schwarzwald!

My first word in Norwegian: fastmaske :)
Second word in Norwegian: stav
Thank you guys. 😊
Great vid guys, is the first 1/2 of the process the pique stitch? I'll be trying it, thanks.
This might be old video really that is gorgeous wanna do another one I have lots of wool
You guys are wonderful! I enjoy your knitting books, they are so fun and informative. I buy your books on line, and was wondering if you sell books with crochet?
I saw one you did with a filet border in a white or off white border, I would like a pattern to make the border!
Thank you!
Love you two!! is there a name for that joining style?
Hi Arne and Carlos , I really like the way you joined the sqs however I will have to watch video a lot more times to understand are you patterns in English also the afghan I'm making is for a man do you think this join is masculine enough for this afghan he is a seminarian going to become a priests so I would like you opinion also in the center of afghan is a white cross and the rest of he color is deep red his favorite color the afghan is am doing is on Pinterest ..Thank you both for you time ..Ellen
I'm confused but intrigued. I want to join like this! I hope it will be easier to follow on your blog. I hope I get it!
I love this join as well but the camera angle makes it very confusing. Arne crocheted across one side then like he was continuing in the counter clockwise he joined in the corner to the next square. The stitches would be twisted to join back to the first edge row....this is very confusion kicked in :)
I rewound and rewound and by golly I got it!!! :)
I have made a different type of granny square the last row is single crochet would it be possible to do this same method?
tfs, I was wonderingg how I was going to join all my squares
🌸🌻🌷🌺💐
Skøn video, tak
Thank you for watching Camilla!
First of all - I am a fairly new crocheter. I am trying to understand the "joining the squares". I am fine with the *sc, ch 3, sc, sc* sequence on the initial square. However, am struggling with joining part when the second square is introduced. We do a sc, ch 1, dc, ch 1, sc into the second square. This is where I get lost. Where does that dc "attach" to? They talk about creating an arch. I bought the pattern and I cannot understand or follow it. I love the look of this method of joining, but I am frustrated. I watched and listened to the video countless time, but I cannot understand the pattern. Any suggestions? I am not able to find any help about this joining method. ARNE & CARLOS do a fantastic job in the video, but I am too slow and lack the knowledge. I hope someone can respond.
Hi, if you contact us through our website arnecarlos.com we might be able to help.
More Arne & Carlos at drunk speed. Just trying to learn how to join Granny Squares. LOL
😂
Truly. I usually get their videos but this was so hard to follow. 😕
@@lorrainesophiad Arne & Carlos mentioned the these instructions for attaching Granny Squares this way are in their book called "Knit & Crochet Garden", but it's hard to find.
Would love to do that joining as I have lots of granny squares, but I find it very confusing,can’t find your written pattern,
Will like to see how you process when you come at the crossroads with 4 grannies when you join them. Thank you very much.
Thank you for the tutorial suggestion.
What size hook are you using ?
I have a wool allergy. What kind of yarn can I use instead?
Btw I love your videos. 🥰
Hi Bea if you are allergic to wool you should try looking online for substitutes. Good luck!
I aspire to be as fast as Arne
The first time I came across a British crochet pattern it was from a crochet book I checked out at my local library. I didn't know the difference in stitch names an couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. 😂
Děkuji za vaše videa , moc ráda na ně koukám a přiučím se novým věcem . S angličtinou je to maličko složitější i tak se učím i jazyk , Google automatický překlad titulků je opravdu nedokonalý :-)
