My mother in law who passed away in 2006 at 100 would be so happy with this great era of yarn and people learning how to knit and crochet. The yarns would blow her mind. Good memories of mother-in-law.
Let's do some figgerin': At $11.99 per 8.8 oz skein, it costs about $1.36 per yard. Average cost of Red Heart at WalMart is usually less than a penny per yard, so, it's a no-brainer for me to by this Granny Square yarn. I mean, considering the inches per row that are lost on color changes, 'n the time saved by not havin' to weave those in, or mess around with trying to carry it along with and hide it by your new stitches - which comes loose anyway because of the long legged nature of the double crochet ~ unless you're crocheting tight, which you can't, because if you do, the measurements won't work out right and the colors won't hit at the right place with this new yarn colorway. So... Saves time, saves waste, ya git 14 sqwarz* outta one roll... fer a dollar-36 a yard, it ain't a bad thing! *my country raisin' comes out strong when imitating my share-croppin', pinny-pinchin' Granny when she's a-figgurin' on the "cost-worthy-niss of work, waste 'n bother" 'bout sump'n. With one roll of this yarn, you could make 2 of those cute little purses that take 6 squares each. And just make a short i-cord handle or simple DC short row straps from the extra squares. 1 each. That's about a six buck gift - that's right, a $6 gift - for each of two someones on your list. Time's a-wastin', better hurry! Hope you can crochet as fast as this gall did! By the way with two rolls of this you could make 28 squares, and that would make a pretty decent crib blanket or lap blanket/lapghan, or a rectangular Wrap that can maybe be transformed into a rectangular Poncho* with some really big decorative buttons with a granny square hole-sized button on the back side of them, or just four, big-enough-to-go-through-the-hole-color-coordinated buttons, sewn back to back so that they all color coordinate but that can be whimsically changed as to which side is facing out. 14 squares each would make Ponchos for 2 small girls, I'd say, 6- ish or younger. * you can look up how to style a rectangular poncho with buttons
@@margaretlee6669it looks like a Susan Bates to me too, think either she made the handle or she bought it from someone who did. I like the Susan Bates with the bamboo handles best. 🙂💖🐈⬛🐈🌈
This is the best tutorial out of the many I have watched! I am using a Furls I hook and this pattern with very good results. I have a stack of 13 so far. I have noticed that the second round needs to be done loose. Rows 4,5,6 much tighter. Red Heart should promote this video, it looks much better than the ball band pattern. ❤
You are the very first one and I have watched at least 8 people do this, you are the Only one that had it work out!!! One woman used 9 hook , !!! You win !!!!
Hi Sarah, I need to use a size K crochet hook. I have to fiddle with the yarn sometimes (often, but not by much) but that size is the best for me. I’ve crocheted 37 squares successfully so far. I plan to make the Yarnspirations dog sweater for my daughter’s dog and the backpack for my granddaughter. I am blocking each stack of 14 as I finish each skein. I love the colors Red Heart chose! I want to make some of your Christmas tree ornaments for next Christmas. Thank you! 💚
@@theotheranna6973Your wrist and fingers will thank you when you are older. I used to crochet like this. My mother in law showed me the knife grip. She said please to listen as it would keep me from arthritis, tendonitis, and damage to my hands. I changed immediately. So glad I did. I have fibromyalgia and arthritis but my hands are still nimble. My arms and shoulders cause problems way before my hands ever do. She is no longer with us but thank you mom I'm law. 💕🪷
This pattern worked better than the one provided. This is what I typically use for my granny squares. But I sized up to a 7.0mm for my tension. Thanks!
This gives me anxiety haha. I’d be worried all the time the colors wouldn’t change at the correct time. You do wonderful tutorials. I’ve made several of your patterns. You’re an amazing teacher 😊
I was so excited to see this yarn and hopped over to check out the site to order. The reviews were not good at all. I love a challenge so they will not stop me from trying. But they were harsh.
I normally don’t get excited over new yarn designs but last night when I was looking at my emails & was reading the one from Yarnspirations & it was about this new granny stitch yarn I got so excited! I thought this was a great idea! I do NOT need anymore yarn but I really want to get some of this & make a blanket. 🥰 thank you for the video!
This is such a cool idea! I love the look of granny square projects but I find I mostly want to do them when not paying attention, which means the colour changes are inconvenient.
Hi Sara, I just had three skeins of the Red Heart Granny Square yarn delivered today, and I am happy to say that I don't have excess amount of white in the beggining of all the skeins.
I seen this on your site and went straight to joAnnes and bought some 😂 i havent been crocheting alot my cr-jo just hasnt been around, but this got me excited! Thank you for the tips!!
How come you are turning the work each round? We usually don’t do that for granny squares. Your tutorial looks much better than others I have seen for this yarn because you are doing fewer chains in the corners.
I'm just amazed how fast you crochet. Compared to you I'm a tortoise. I also have to say this yarn looks great. If I were into making granny squares I'd use this. I wonder how it would work with a rectangular granny afghan....
Wow so there is going to be tons of people having problems getting it to work....a long tail and working really loose is going to be hard...guess nothing to do but to try it out and see how it goes 😊
You are amazing. I am a speed crocheter too. It's like meditation for me. I am autistic with ADHD and anxiety my IQ is above average genius too. I scored 200 IQ on two tests from mental health. I feel comfortable when my hands are busy and the faster I crochet the better I feel. I get grossed in my work and I go into my own special world with just me and my crocheting frolicking together in a world of yarn and needles. I feel blessed to have a vivid imagination that's so lucid it can seem real. It helps me deal with my autism. Also, my cat Ginger Beans he loves cuddling next to me while I crochet and he's so cute he tilt's his head asking if I could show him what I am doing and he gets his nose inside the yarn and winks at me and gets up to my face to kiss me before nuzzling into my hip. I nicknamed him Kitty Monk because he meditates with me he even closes his eyes and lifts his head towards the incense when I burn it for meditation. He sits in the exact same spot until the incense is done burning with his head lifted and eyes closed. He is like my personal alarm clock too he tells me when it's time to meditate and do everything we usually do everyday. Crocheting has become an everyday event for us this year because I got sick and got two surgeries and I am still recovering from an ovary removal surgery from two months ago. My doctor said I might have permanent pain from the scar tissue so my cramps might be permanent. They already were worried about it before the surgery so I knew it was a possible outcome. I am used to it I was born sick so nothing new. At least I have Ginger Beans and my world of yarn and needles. ❤😅
About time, thank you so much for sharing. Thank you red heart now. I just have to get my hands-on some. I figure Walmart aint gonna get any yen and our Joanne's is closing.
I have watched so many people try this. You’re literally the only one I’ve seen make it work. The only positive review. I want to try it but 😬
My mother in law who passed away in 2006 at 100 would be so happy with this great era of yarn and people learning how to knit and crochet. The yarns would blow her mind. Good memories of mother-in-law.
You are the only one that gets the color working
It might be the hook size she's using.........🤔
Thank you. I’ve been crying for hours because mine is NOT coming out like this at all.
I am stressing over the same thing I have to undo redo, undo , and even using a smaller stitch hook !
I want, NO, NEED this in my life, but this close to X-mas, I can't afford it, so I'll bookmark this little gem for later!

What kind of crochet hook did you use that allowed you to crochet so fast? Looks like a Susan Bates in-line head.
@@margaretlee6669it looks like a Susan Bates to me too, think either she made the handle or she bought it from someone who did. I like the Susan Bates with the bamboo handles best. 🙂💖🐈⬛🐈🌈
The yarn will be available at Joann's and Walmart soon
You crochet so fast, you look like a machine! And, you are a great tutorialist!

I've never seen anyone crochet like this, I think you're actually just waving a magic wand
I still can’t get over how fast you crochet!! I mean my eyes can’t keep up!! Maybe this newbie should try this cool yarn 🤔
i slowed the video down since she crochets so fast . i want to grow up and be just like her with those mad crocheting speed. 😊
“Keep on stitching’ with no color switchin’.”
Is that the official motto or are you just a GENIUS? 🤣❤️
It's written on the yarn label
You are the very first one and I have watched at least 8 people do this, you are the Only one that had it work out!!! One woman used 9 hook , !!! You win !!!!
I think this would make such a beautiful hexagonal cardigan.

If this yarn turns out to be awesome. Redheart should do holidays granny
Looks like you used a different pattern, but it worked out very well!!
This is great! No more ends to weave in! How in the world do you crochet so so fast❤️❤️❤️🙈🙈 wow so fast thanks for the video ❤
I think it’s the pencil grip. I can only do the knife grip but I think if you know how to do the pencil grip you can go faster
I was thinking the same thing. I hold my hook like a knife so I guess it slows me down.
@@theotheranna6973 I do the pencil grip but I’m not that fast anymore lol 😂

Holy moly! You crochet so fast 😅
Thank you for the video! I can’t wait to try! ❤
It's beautiful but I don't use the chain one bc I like a tighter GS so not sure how that would work out 🤷🏻♀️ plus I like to st to the corner...
What an ingenious idea by the yarn company. I'm definitely getting this when it shows up here!
No more nightmare ends to weave in project 👏 Thank you, Red Heart ♥️
Holy moly woman you crochet fast! I've tried the pencil grip but I think I need more practice. I like that yarn. I need it lol.
Thank you for sharing this exciting new yarn!!!!!
I feel like I would be making and remaking that center multiple times before the color change happened in the right place
Agreed
You're supposed to leave a 4-inch tail before starting.
@@EileenGery oh ok it looked like the starting point was chosen at random and then magically worked out.
Santa should deliver this to every yarn nut
I was so excited to see this yarn and hopped over to check out the site to order. The reviews were not good at all. I love a challenge so they will not stop me from trying. But they were harsh.
this yarn has changed my life. i need this.

This is such a cool idea! I love the look of granny square projects but I find I mostly want to do them when not paying attention, which means the colour changes are inconvenient.
I went down size h also . This is amazing.
Ok I like your instructions better than what’s on the label. It came out much more even fornme
Your tutorial was so helpful!!!! But is there any chance there is a written pattern for this granny square ? 🧶🫶
I am having a good time with this yarn. No problems at all.
How? Mine is so frustrating and hasn’t been color changing properly thers too much yarn of every color idk what I’m doing wrong
This yarn is AMAZING!!!!!!!
I can't wait to try it!!!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sarah! Love your version! I'm going to try that next. xoxox Tiff
How cool is this!
You are chaining 2 . Michael Sellick chained 3. Also i donot turn does it make a difference. Thank you for covering this.
I want Every Color!! I really want to combine it with one of the colors in the skein, so it can be chunkier! What is your opinion of that???
Hi Sara, I just had three skeins of the Red Heart Granny Square yarn delivered today, and I am happy to say that I don't have excess amount of white in the beggining of all the skeins.
I want to see each color combo offered made up into a square before ordering on line. Thank you
Can't wait to try. I'll probably do it the way I make granny squares though.
Yep, I don't do them this way either so I hope it still works out
I need this!! for sure. wohooo...let's dig in.
Genius!
I'm gonna make one big Granny square blanket with this yarn. I hope its at my small town Walmart
I seen this on your site and went straight to joAnnes and bought some 😂 i havent been crocheting alot my cr-jo just hasnt been around, but this got me excited! Thank you for the tips!!
How come you are turning the work each round? We usually don’t do that for granny squares. Your tutorial looks much better than others I have seen for this yarn because you are doing fewer chains in the corners.
This is so cool. I don't usually make Granny Squares, but this is cool.
Amazing! I love grannies, so anything that can speed upmaking 50 grannies (or more) for a sweater is wonderful in my book!
I use a H hook. No chain between clusters and chain 2 in corners
S. Watch tension
Makes me wish I knew how to crochet even more
I'm just amazed how fast you crochet. Compared to you I'm a tortoise.
I also have to say this yarn looks great. If I were into making granny squares I'd use this. I wonder how it would work with a rectangular granny afghan....
So happy you shared this yarn with me, game changer for sure. Saves time on weaving ends. Hopefully it won't have knots and tangles.
O my goodness this is perfect!!
Absolutely in awe of this yarn
Can’t wait to try it 😊
Wow gorgeous yarn and what a great idea.my goodness your fast..I live in Ireland I wonder could I buy on line.💖💖thank you for sharing.💖💖
Could you switch to a smaller or larger hook size to adjust where the color change lands?
It came out perfect the way you did it. I can’t wait to buy it. It looks like so much fun. Thank you for this. 👏👏
Genious❤
Get out! This is amazing. How did they do this. This is genius. 🤯
Hope it comes to the UK soon
Wow so there is going to be tons of people having problems getting it to work....a long tail and working really loose is going to be hard...guess nothing to do but to try it out and see how it goes 😊
Wow
I just looking at this can’t wait to buy
This is so cool! I would also love to see how this yarn works up doing something besides a granny square. I bet it would be pretty interesting.
Oh my this is gorgeous!!!
Omg this is awesome! Love this thank you red heart and thank you to you for showing us
Wow! How fun!
Is it possible to do row 1 as written in the pattern and the rest of the square like the video?
I wonder what the colors would look like , if you just kept making the granny square larger. Using the whole skein😃
This is like magic! I love it.
I have so many granny square projects in mind. Thank you for showing it.
Awesome thanks for letting us know about it!😊
Very nice
Wow I am amazed !!
Thanks for the tutorial 😊
This is genius! I just wish it came in natural fiber options, because I prefer to avoid acrylic when possible.
I love this! Thanks, Sara❤!
So cool!!! Thanks for sharing! Hope you’re having a great day❤
I love to crochet, but my most favorite pattern is the granny square. So I am off to the store, they better have it.😊
How did you get the first round to work without measuring the required 4-inch tail?
love this!

Girl, tone it all the way down.
How big can you make each granny square? I like making big ones. Will the colors start to go whacky a a certain point?🥰
Good morning could this be used for a wrap.
just brought 5 colors times 2 🎉 hoping i can use them for a CAL im doing 2024… they wont be perfect squares buts thats cool.
Thank you for sharing! Got to find this yarn, have not seen it yet in any of our stores, will keep looking.❤❤😊
This is amazing. I need to get some. Thanks for sharing this review
Im going to buy so much of this😂. I just have to wait till after Christmas 😭 😭 😭
I can’t wait to get some. I’ll have to wait for a coupon first 😅 $11.99 a skein
The one good thing is each skin is suppose to produce 14 squares. I agree it is on the pricey side. Happy Holidays. Peace and Blessings
Can you use this in color pooling? beautiful colors
That's what im wondering too!
About time, thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you red heart now. I just have to get my hands-on some. I figure Walmart aint gonna get any yen and our Joanne's is closing.
I think it will be at Walmart :) Keep an eye out I'm hopeful at least!
Well done! Thank you!
This is great!!!
Omg I’m so excited to try this yarn!
Does this also work for continuous granny squares?
Each color is the length it needs to be for a traditional granny square, so I don’t think so.
Yes because a solid granny square has the same number of stitches
Is the yarn soft ? I’ve noticed that red heart yarn has been stiff lately
good morning do you please can tell y where can i buy the red heart all in one granny square yarn? thank you so much . Can i order the yarn online too
Great idea. Hoping it's sold else where because their site is expensive
hoping it will be at Walmart soon!
Wonder if it works for solid grannynsquare
