Hi Friends, I hope you enjoy the video. This is a classic granny that deserves a spot in every crocheters arsenal. Easy and fun, a perfect stitch for beginners and advanced crocheters. I've also included a solid granny square tut in case you want to mix and match in your next project. xx
Thank you! My husband just asked me to make a blanket for his grandmother. Some of his fondest childhood memories was to visit her and his grandfather. There was a special kitchen drawer that held a bowl of M&Ms that everyone loved. It got to where the family would buy them M&M themed items for Christmas. His grandfather passed away a number of years ago, and my hubby asked me to make this blanket to wrap her in loving memories of those times with an M&M theme. I knew how to make a circle in a square in both traditional and Tunisian crochet styles, but this video cinched my decision on which way to design it. I love the additional helpful tips that you add to your tutorials that give such a beautiful result, especially for the joins which are difficult for new (or haven't done it in awhile) crocheters. Thanks for all that you do!
What a beautiful story 🥰 I’m so glad you found something in the video to help with your project. That has brought a huge smile to my face , thank you for telling me . This is going to be an amazing keepsake. She is going to love it , I know I would ❤️❤️❤️
Just starting my third Afghan by this pattern. Its for my stepson who is 6'8" tall. That means I am going to have to make 130 squares, Ohhh my what have I done to myself? But this is the design he wanted. Wish me luck. 😉
Oooh you are ambitious! Best of luck, it will be beautiful no doubt.💕 One thing, I pinned a comment another viewer left about how she increased the number on the corners at the end to help square it off better. Please keep a mental note of it in case you find it’s working too tightly for you too. 👍🏻💕
I'm not sure I understand where to find the pinned comment about increasing the corners to make them more square? What do you mean? Were they adding stitches to the corners, like maybe doing a cluster of three instead of two? @@PlayHookywithMe
Ok I understand, I seem to be okay with the way they are turning out now. Maybe I will mock up a sample with extra stitches in the corners just to see what it looks like.
I love this video. You did such a great job showing us every little easy-to-forget stitch that may be hiding. Those little things can sometimes goof me up!!!! Thank you, Roz, for another great tutorial.😊💕
I am totally flabbergasted!! This is the absolute best tutorial I have seen - TOTAL COMPLETION of everything I needed to know - and I have made granny squares but was never quite happy with them, your explanation of that little hidden stitch made all the difference. The explanation that the stitches look like P's was mind blowing, NO ONE has ever mentioned that and it makes a big difference!! Thank you. I am making a twin size blanket for my boss' grandson and going to make it with this pattern. THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Great stitches to make a tote bag. I can also use my scrap yarns. Thank you so much for sharing the stitch with a tutorial which is very easy to follow. 🙏❤
Excellent! I’ve never been a big granny square fan, and anybody telling me they were easy would get the side-eye. But this is doable! Your instructions are lovely and clear and the little tips and tricks are invaluable. Thanks for another great tutorial! 😊
I really like your teaching style - so easy to understand, and I love the patterns you choose to teach us - all so pretty and practical. Thanks so much😍🌺
You are an amazing teacher, showing where the stitches are to place the hook into. Many thanks Roz. God bless you. From the Philippines Philippines 🇵🇭❤️
THIS IS SO WONDERFUL: WHAT A VIDEO !!! I checked your tutorials they are so informative and quiet a selection to choose from: I will try to follow yr selection, as l finish by "circle in a sqare", Only because of your excellent teaching skills: it gives me the courage to choose from yr other finished crochet samples: I hope they turn out as nice as looking as yours: professional: GOOD TEACHING SKILLS.... VERY CLEAR VOICE (nice voice) I'M COMING OVER FOR COFFEE & CROCHET:
Thank you. I followed your instruction easily.. Thank you for explaining why you use certain stitches as opposed to others. ( ie hd to finish off a round of doubles.)
Love this tutorial! I agree with previous comments about how good you are at showing us stitches we would probably miss and the reason for doing things a certain way. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos! ❤
You're a great teacher, thank you ! This is the first granny square I've been able to make. I really like the idea of pairing it with a solid one, too.
I am so happy I found you! I love your tutorials as you make it so easy to understand and "see" what you are doing! I have been crocheting for about 10 years and I can honestly say, after watching your videos and implementing your great tips, my crochet looks so so much better. Thank you again for sharing your creativity and wisdom!
I would love to see a tutorial on the opposite - making a square to circle bowl shape. I crocheted liners for one of those 3-tier metal hanging baskets for holding fruit etc in your kitchen. I should say it’s not a flare square to circle - the bottom is square, but once you transition to a circle, it needs to angle upward a little - but not too much! Instructions I found for making a bowl all seem to have sides that go straight up once you get to a certain diameter. I figured it out, but it was A LOT of trial and error. At first I tried to keep notes, but I tried so many different ways, I lost track of what I did. One general idea is that a shell pattern gives more leeway in terms of the upward angle than straight stitches. Another thing I found is that it didn’t need to angle up as much as I thought it would. I think if I tried to do it again, though, it would be a lot of trial and error again.
So glad I found this! I've used a couple other tutorial to make my circle into a square and it would just look wonky. Even in the tutorial. This is perfect! Thank u
Thank you so much for continuing to bless us with your amazing tutorials. They make our crocheting not only easier but even more enjoyable. You have the most soothing voice to listen to as well. God bless you Ros. Please tell me if I am not spelling your name correctly. Have a blessed day!! 😊❤
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I've actually been working on a granny square I found on UA-cam, the instructions for which I found didn't quite give the best results and I've been trying to find ways to try to make it better. You provided some great tips I will definitely be using ❤. This video couldn't have been timelier!
Hello Roz... I'm still catching up with your tutorials and loving everything you do . I first learned how to turn circles into squares from one of my books called crochet schools and madr many pretty squares , but i can always learn something new from your hands on tutorials. Thanks for sharing and have a great day.
TY so much for this video! I have never successfully made a granny square but I think now I can and will try. In my head of course I have already created an amazing granny square blanket. LOL
Amazing tutorials Rose thank you so much. I love them both. I love the granny square with the circle / round in the middle… time to rest my eyes now as I have been on your channel for ages today ❤😊 it’s evening over here now. Enjoy your evening xx
Thank u so much for this video! Love to make granny squares! I know some ppl do not like making them at all! I love it! I don’t like making blankets! Lol!
Thank you so much for this video I finally did it however I made a few mistakes and skipped a few loops so on the square on sometimes I have 14 double crochets and chain 2 and then 12/13 double crochet chain 2
Thank you for making these awesome videos,so much information and so enjoyable to look at, i know i'll definetely make alot of your projects. Best regards xx ❤
This was the clearest tutorial I’ve seen in a long time! It was so easy to understand, and the 2 patterns are perfect for me as a beginner, to start a bigger project! Thank you!
About how many skeins of yarn would you recommend to make a throw blanket or about 120 squares? I LOVE that you taught how to close up the middle without using a magic circle and lining the rounds up so evenly. I've been crocheting for a number of years, but this will be my first granny squares and my first blanket. I would like to know how many skeins I should buy. Thank you for the tutorial and the assistance!
Hi Jane - each one of my squares measures 5x5 inches and weighs 8 grams with worsted (weight 4 ) yarn and a 4mm hook. So based on that , you’d need approx 960 grams / 34 oz of yarn. Not sure how much yarn comes in the skeins you’ll be using but usually it’s about 100g. These numbers will vary depending on the yarn /hook size you’re using. Hope this helps ❤️
Hello thank you so very much for your videos I'm learning so much as a beginner 🌻🦋🌻 Question:...how would I continue in order to make the circle larger before I start to square it out??please
Hi 👋🏻 you want to continue the increase sequence like we were doing in the video so it would look something like this. R1 12 R2 inc in each stitch R3 1sc, inc repeat R4 2 sc inc repeat R5 3 sc inc repeat R6 4 sc inc repeat R7 5 sc inc repeat R8 6 sc inc repeat Do you see the sequence? You’ll just keep doing that until you reach the size circle you want to make. Then whatever that final round’s stitch count is , divide it by 4 to find your corners . Then subtract that number by 2 . Use that number to start each corner. You need two subtract by 2 because I used to stitches to form the corners. ❤️ Example. Circle stitch count is 36 when I’m all done. To square it off : 36 divided by 4 is 9 9-2 is 7
No, these were by other creators and I have their blog names in the top left corner when the images are shared. I’d recommend you check out raffamusa designs… those were the ones in the video with the characters. 👍🏻😍. They are fabulous.
As I’ve said before, you make great videos and help us all enjoy what we love-crochet. I admire your color choices of yarn, too. You’re simply awesome! I love making granny squares and I know that there are a few methods to join them for a blanket or afghan. Since I value your opinion, what method do you use? ❤ Hugsss❤️ Please keep your videos coming!
Thank you so much! It really depends on the design of the squares . I have a playlist of joining techniques that show my favorites you could watch ti give you some ideas. I love “join as you go” whenever possible and my next staple is the “invisible join” where you join with a needle going through the middle of the stitches . Gives a flat seam on both sides and hides the yarn . 👏🏻👏🏻💕
Thanks! I’ll watch the video. I just finished crocheting 100 chemotherapy caps for a local children’s hospital. Now I’ll be crocheting shawls, lapghans, blankets, etc for the elderly, for veterans and for the homeless and pets at shelters. Also baby blanket charities. So, keep up the good work knowing that you’re helping others. ❤️
@@PlayHookywithMe Thank you. Crocheting is good therapy and the kids and people receiving handmade items are very touched. I’ve seen their reactions. My 3 year old niece died from brain cancer. The medical staff at this children’s hospital was so good to her and to us. Kids would get such a smile receiving thoughtful items like this. It was touching to see the smile on the faces of these very sick little ones.❤️ so you are helping also through me!
@@kat9446 this means a lot to me reading this and I understand on many levels. I lost my son in 2010 , he was 15 years old. Severe cerebral palsy (complications with the flu is how we lost him) We spent a lot of time in and out of hospital during the years we had him so I’m always touched when I meet others that make it their mission to give where they can❤️ So sorry to read about your niece. Heartbreaking 😔❤️
Keep working the sane multiple you were using for the circle and when you’re ready to square it off, count how many stitches you have on your circle and divide by 4 to find your corners. Work the sides with hdc and sc to straighten the edge. You’ll have more stitches to work so just evenly space then I’m a way that looks good . 👍🏻💕
If I wanted to make a larger granny square, like the circle lots bigger, is there an increment and how would I know how to straighten out the first row of making it square? Or is this even possible, LOL
Absolutely! Just keep going up by an increment of 12 using the standard increase sequence for a circle. If you’re not sure what that is , there are tons of videos out there for that or you can Google it., Basically : 12 Increase each st (24) Inc, 1sc repeat (36) Inc , 2sc repeat (48) Inc, 3 sc repeat (60) And so on to get the size you want. Then divide that final count by 4 . For example let’s say you finished on 60. 60 divided by 4 = 12 so your corners would be on the 15th stitch on each side. BUT with with this square I worked two stitches for the corners so you’ll need to subtract 2 to get that corner number. So for example , your corners here would start on each 13th stitch. Confused? Hopefully not! If you get to a point where you need help with the squaring off , I’ll be happy to help 💕
BEFORE YOU COMMENCE YOUR SQUARING, YOU NEED TO WORKOUT YOUR RATIO OR PROPORTIONS OF YOUR CIRCLE..... THIS NOW BECOMES MATHEMATICS : THE CIRCLE NEEDS TO BECOME A SQUARE: WORK OUT THE NUMBER OF YOUR STITCHES TO FIT INTO 4 equal PARTS: (that is the square now!) EACH SECTIONS MUST HAVE THE SAME NUMBER OF STITCHES:: or it wont work: silly billy me got stuck!! I think we all know this...... just a reminder !!
Yikes I'm slow. I just watched and crocheted along with this enitre 20 minute video and i made........ just the circle that goes inside the first square !
Hi Friends, I hope you enjoy the video. This is a classic granny that deserves a spot in every crocheters arsenal. Easy and fun, a perfect stitch for beginners and advanced crocheters. I've also included a solid granny square tut in case you want to mix and match in your next project. xx

About how many skeins of yarn would you recommend to make a throw blanket or about 120 squares? I LOVE that you taught how to close up the middle without using a magic circle and lining the rounds up so evenly. I've been crocheting for a number of years, but this will be my first granny squares and my first blanket. I would like to know how many skeins I should buy. Thank you for the tutorial and the assistance!
Hi Jane - each one of my squares measures 5x5 inches and weighs 8 grams with worsted (weight 4 ) yarn and a 4mm hook.
So based on that , you’d need approx 960 grams / 34 oz of yarn.
Not sure how much yarn comes in the skeins you’ll be using but usually it’s about 100g.
These numbers will vary depending on the yarn /hook size you’re using.
Hope this helps ❤️
Thank you so much! I can't wait to start my blanket.
Hello thank you so very much for your videos I'm learning so much as a beginner 🌻🦋🌻
Question:...how would I continue in order to make the circle larger before I start to square it out??please
Hi 👋🏻 you want to continue the increase sequence like we were doing in the video so it would look something like this.
R1 12
R2 inc in each stitch
R3 1sc, inc repeat
R4 2 sc inc repeat
R5 3 sc inc repeat
R6 4 sc inc repeat
R7 5 sc inc repeat
R8 6 sc inc repeat
Do you see the sequence? You’ll just keep doing that until you reach the size circle you want to make.
Then whatever that final round’s stitch count is , divide it by 4 to find your corners . Then subtract that number by 2 . Use that number to start each corner. You need two subtract by 2 because I used to stitches to form the corners.
❤️
Example. Circle stitch count is 36 when I’m all done.
To square it off :
36 divided by 4 is 9
9-2 is 7
Very well explained to keep the rounds neat without the awful usual “join line”. Thank you! 😊☕️

I love it new try for me! Question if I were to make it bigger would I turn after each round or no? ❤
I don’t think it would be necessary 💕
@@PlayHookywithMe I would love to show you what I am attempting all due to your inspiration!! Cotton yarn and my scrubby yarn doing a mockup!!
@@patgolner2298 how exciting!! 😀🧶❤️
Do you have a tutorial for joining the squares?

Do you have any written patterns?
Thanks! Written pattern??
Sorry, just a video tutorial.
How do I do these stitches for a larger circle? My circle has 9 rows
Keep working the sane multiple you were using for the circle and when you’re ready to square it off, count how many stitches you have on your circle and divide by 4 to find your corners. Work the sides with hdc and sc to straighten the edge. You’ll have more stitches to work so just evenly space then I’m a way that looks good .
👍🏻💕
What size hook did you use?
4 mm (I shared that in the beginning of the video and in description box)
If I wanted to make a larger granny square, like the circle lots bigger, is there an increment and how would I know how to straighten out the first row of making it square? Or is this even possible, LOL
Absolutely! Just keep going up by an increment of 12 using the standard increase sequence for a circle.
If you’re not sure what that is , there are tons of videos out there for that or you can Google it.,
Basically :
12
Increase each st (24)
Inc, 1sc repeat (36)
Inc , 2sc repeat (48)
Inc, 3 sc repeat (60)
And so on to get the size you want.
Then divide that final count by 4 .
For example let’s say you finished on 60.
60 divided by 4 = 12 so your corners would be on the 15th stitch on each side. BUT with with this square I worked two stitches for the corners so you’ll need to subtract 2 to get that corner number.
So for example , your corners here would start on each 13th stitch.
Confused? Hopefully not!
If you get to a point where you need help with the squaring off , I’ll be happy to help 💕
Thank you so much, this is great and helps a lot!!! Do you mind if I print it off for the instructions? @@PlayHookywithMe
BEFORE YOU COMMENCE YOUR SQUARING, YOU NEED TO WORKOUT YOUR RATIO OR PROPORTIONS OF YOUR CIRCLE..... THIS NOW BECOMES MATHEMATICS : THE CIRCLE NEEDS TO BECOME A SQUARE:
WORK OUT THE NUMBER OF YOUR STITCHES TO FIT INTO 4 equal PARTS: (that is the square now!)
EACH SECTIONS MUST HAVE THE SAME NUMBER OF STITCHES:: or it wont work: silly billy me got stuck!!
I think we all know this...... just a reminder !!
Yikes I'm slow. I just watched and crocheted along with this enitre 20 minute video and i made........ just the circle that goes inside the first square !
Almost done!
It always takes longer when you’re learning 👏🏻💕
