I am so glad I found the Lovecrafts website for yarn and other crochet and knitting products. They always have a sale on some yarn up to 75% off. The Red Heart soft baby steps yarn on this video is only £1.99 per 100g ball. Just amazing as this is super soft baby yarn. They have many other brands too. Cheaper than I have seen them elsewhere. @t *Some links may be affiliate links to keep my channel running costs down.

Exactly correct. There’s no right or wrong way to crochet. We all have to learn to adjust the way we can manage due to health issues. I can’t walk ‘properly’… I do it my way. ❤❤❤
Thank you, Alison. I'm currently making about 100 sunburst granny squares for a project. I'm about halfway through and fancied something a bit different for the rest and this design is perfect!
Good morning Allison I’m in the U.S. and love your work. This pattern is one of the prettiest motifs I’ve seen in a while. I can see myself making lots of blankets using it. Thank you so much for bringing it to us. One more thing, people seem to forget that we are all individuals and do things differently. That difference does not mean that we are wrong. I have arthritis in my hands too and understand that you have to find a way to hold your yarn and crochet hook or knitting needles that’s less painful and allows you to do something you enjoy doing. Happy crocheting 🤗
Hi, HoniBear, I always found it hard to hold the hook and yarn high with my fingers like other videos, My mother held her hook like I do she said no need to strain yourself to make something nice. Like Tea biscuits were not all the same. So I would advise everyone ALWAYS hold it the way it's comfortable no matter how silly it looks if it works for you then do it. No one sees how you hold your hook and yarn when your at home so it makes no diffrence. It can put a lot of people off holding it the way others do in a tutorial. They think if they can't hold it that way they must be doing it wrong which nitself is wrong. Always hold it the way you want its you that is doing it so you might as well be comfortable. thank you for your lovely comment.
Never crocheted before but I have mastered this beautiful square with a flower in the middle. Very proud of myself and all thanks to you and your wonderful explanation. Annie
I love these squares and was surprised I could actually make them but it was easy with your video. I would love to learn to join them but don't know how, can you tell how I can find that video? Thank you! Alice USA
All I've ever crocheted is single stitch blankets, but I've been inspired recently to try more complicated things. Your video made this look so easy and doable!! I'm going to try it!!
Just made this square You make me try so many different crochet projects with your easy to follow instructions and a voice that encourages me to try a lot more Many thanks Chris
Loved this blanket so much I have made it for my daughter's colleague. I also loved the way you joined it together to get that lovely seaming on the front. I joined it using a crocheted slip stitch on the wrong side.
Love all your patterns Alison. I was looking for something to use as a centre piece for a crocheted craft bag made up if African flower hexagons. I've crocheted your flower square but changed it to a hexagon and added another little 3d flower into the centre doing three dc's to make it smaller to reflect the larger one. Hope you don't mind me hacking your pattern. It was meant as a compliment to your original. Keep giving us more inspiration. I've crocheted and knitted nearly sixty years and still love to learn. Thanks from a fellow crafter and Scots woman 😆.
Oh Alison, This was by far the most easy to understand Granny Square tutorial I’ve have found for a beginner. And the added flower on top will be perfect for what I’m making. I think I will use a different coordinating color for the flower but your pattern is perfectly beautiful....thank YOU!!!
hi i would just like to say , love your vids , and i hold my work the same as u for the same reasons , joints and yes you are right , there is no right or wrong way to hold your work , everyone is different , ty
I love your accent. I’m a Kiwi and love to crochet blankets. Thanks for this lovely granny square it will be easy to make as you make a great tutorial.
This is a beautiful little square and a very detailed tutorial. Thank you Alison. I'm going to make a baby pram blanket for a premature baby who is fighting to survive... it will give me hope each square I do... x
Thank you for such a clear tutorial. I have crocheted for over50 years but never learned how to make a flower. Sorry, I should have told you at 1st. Hello from Texas USA.
I love how you crochet and explain so easy plus the way you hold your fingers. I do the same way, it hurts me to hold my pointer up like others do. I taught my granddaughter the same way and the teacher she went to told her she was holding your hands wrong. that upset me, I believe you do what is comfortable. love your videos.
Me too I'm from a big family lots of sisters and my mother always told us hold the hook or knitting needles the way its comfortable, as some are left handed some right and 2 of us can do both.
I just found your Channel today and you are such a great teacher thank you I love it. Sending you many blessings peace and happiness from Denver Colorado -Cindy
very nice. thanx. I've got an old pillow that my mother made and no idea what she used for a pattern, but I wanted to try. this looks very similar. I've got one square done and now looking for best way to join them. thanx again
I love these squares, I think I will be able to make these, but would like to make it into a waist coat, so will have to see how to join them together.
I have to agree with you on the holding of your work. I hold mine like you, as I too have arthritis. I do hold my hook like a pen though but that’s because that is what is most comfortable for me . There is no wrong or right way and it’s not for anyone to tell you there is, what is right for you is right. 😻😻love your work by the way 😻😻
I agree, Jaqui after the crocodile blanket I just uploaded I had to stop for 3 days. I do my work and edit then upload it at a later date just so I have something to keep the cannel running when my hands hurt too much but I won't give up.
This is such a clear and wonderful tutorial. Amazing pacing and beautiful design. Thank you so much! Also, I really appreciated the reminders of what the stitches were called in the US and UK. Very helpful.
Hi Allison my goodness you always come up with such lovely patterns and just when we need them ,I have been feeling very low last few days as I am cocooning and so huge thanks for all that you do,I can't tell you how much you help,many blessings to you and muttley 💝💝💝
I'm on facebook messinger if you need someone to chat too and whatsapp, Deborah. Message me. You have turned into a friend through youtube comments hahaha If your on facebook message me. There are too many in my craft group to keep track of uless they shout out hahaha
Is it weird for me to say I love you! You are the best crochet teacher! I made this no mistakes and it’s the most perfect flower project! You’re definitely getting a subscription out of me and I will share you with every crocheter!
I am so glad i found your videos. I have only recently started to crochet but ive only been comfortable in holding my work like you do, thank you for showing me that its ok to be different 😃 ive attempted and succeeded at making this square 👍
You are so welcome! always hold it so you are comfortable, I hurt my hands if I try to copy someone else so now I don't bother. it makes no difference how you hold the yarn or hook you will find your own way and you will see if your work is too slack to go down a size hook or go up if its too tight. What works for one person doesn't always work for another.
Hi from New Brunswick, Canada Alison. Just want to let you know that I absolutely love your videos. Your content is super and you’re a fantastic teacher. This is one of the prettiest granny squares that I have ever seen. I am going to make some little purses for my three great granddaughters to go with the ear warmers and keyhole scarves that I am making and I think this would be the sweetest square to use for them. So cute and feminine. Thanks again and give Muttley a cuddle from me!
Hi Alison! Thank you for sharing your beautiful granny square pattern. It was easy to follow with your step by step tutorial. I will definitely make a blanket using this pattern. I always look out for your crochet patterns as they are beautiful and easy to follow.
Thank you, I was taught to crochet over 50yrs ago by my grandfather so my technique is very different. I crochet like a knitter the yarn and hook are in my right hand! your video was perfect using your squares to make a curtain. ☀️
