Thanks so much for this. So many video tutorials show one aspect of a technique and leave one to figure out the rest. I was afraid you were only going to show us how to join two squares and then say "good luck!" and send us on our way. But you showed us how to join four squares together and once we know that, we can do the rest. Great tutorial. Can't wait to get this afghan, that I have been working on and off for a couple of years, finally done!
My granny square blanket came out more beautiful than I could have imagined. The invisible stitch is just that...invisible! Now I'm working on a blanket with various colored squares using the grit stitch and I will join them the same way. So happy with this invisible stitch.
You're my new hero! I have been crocheting for about a year. I have only done bigger pieces, with no need to join. I am doing my 1st hexagon blanket but each one has a different color yarn on the out side. It didn't dawn on me how I would join them till I saw this! Thank u!!! I also adore your sense of humor 😆 I smiled and laughed while learning 😄that's always a plus!❤
I to am working with so many multiple color granny squares this absolutely fantastic and I never knew you could do this to join. I bet a lot out there don't know this technique either. I will pass this along to my crochet world. They will love this. Thank You so much.
I’m so happy to read this and glad you are finding the videos useful ! 👏🏻💕 the invisible seam is a game changer for sure ! It takes some practice and trial and error to get into that stitch to hide it but once you do you’ll get a feel for it and be thrilled with the result ! Thank you so much for your encouraging comment 💕
I have been watching to learn how to do this join forever and you😅 are a great teacher! It is very forgiving even on blocks that are NOT a granny square. I found that it even works along the selvage edge which is one reason I always put a border around the blocks. It is VERY forgiving and I know as I practice more I wont see the joins at all. Right now I am making a mistKe or two on the selvage edge but no-one will notice. Thank you so much 😘💕
Thank you soooo much for this. I'm making a blanket with solid colored squares of many different colors and I did not want any kind of visible seam connecting them all together. I've been dreading the joining together and now I can't wait! This is awesome! Thank you!
Thank you! I just started a blanket with granny squares and love love love that you show how to join the corners! I’ve gone through many tutorials that show how to join, but not the corners -.- ❤️
I love this method! I love that you don’t have to choose a color to be a strip between all the blocks. I would use this method for sure. By the way, you showed us and described everything very clearly. Thank you!
I adore this creator and amazing instructor. Her videos are so clear and is so proactive when noting the problems that might arise. Thanks so much for this very helpful tutorial. 🙂
Thank you for this!!!!! I’m just learning and I just finished my first sunburst square. Then I was thinking how I should join! Can you do a video on how to start the join as you go with your first 4 squares?
I just found your channel and wow I love this joining and I do a lot of granny squares. I love how the seams are not showing.. I am making a cardigan with granny squares and I can't wait to try this method out. Thanks so much. I went and checked your channel and video's oh my gosh you have the simple flower granny with those colors yippee..I saw so many I want to try. I put notifications for you all the time.
So, if I’m seeing this right, there would be no need to sew in the ends on the last row of the square…you could just use that to attach another square. Love it!
Just to let you know I used the invisible stitch to a very long scarf I made into an infinity scarf. I didn't want to undo the part of the scarf that I had made which measured over 200 half DC so I made a new piece of scarf an additional 60 half DC and with the invisible stitch it hardly shows where I stitched it together on both sides. It really turned out good. Thank you so much
Wow! That's fantastic! Thank you so much!! I just worked it as I watched your video and I'm amazed. I'm teaching crochet classes to kids and I can't wait to show them this. :)
It’s a slow process , l am trying to make a blanket for my daughter for Christmas it’s a good thing l started way back several months and also have made a lot of stockings, l haven’t had time to count them l must have 15 or so l have grandchildren and great grandchildren lol 😂 l am also making 2 granny squares blankets, my house is a mess 😮but l am 75 live a lone who sees it but me huh 🤔 but tomorrow l need to do some paperwork, l Have perferal neuropathy also other poly neurological issues, so l am slow lol 😂 thank you for sharing your help 🙏💜🙏
Genial,wonderful way of seaming! If only the label of the words description wasn't covering the imagines it would have been better,in my opinion , but this video has given me a great solution.Thank you very much!!
Thank you , can you remind me what words? I don’t recall adding words during this video to the point it would distract? Unless you have subtitles/cc on?
@@PlayHookywithMe yes I had sub titles on because my English isn't very good and it's easier for me reading it than listening to it... And the label was over the imagines, but I did it the same, thank you for your reply, you're very kind😘
Do you have a tutorial for the granny squares in this video, the ones with the thin trim on the petal edges? It's beautiful, and I love this joining method!
I do actually . It was my very first video on this channel so apologies on the quality : Simple Flower Granny Square Tutorial | Crochet ua-cam.com/video/azk_uE5RXrc/v-deo.html
Thank you for the video. I understand you perfectly. I have one question, how do you “end”? Do you just weave the end back through or do you need to do a knot?
This is so helpful, thank you! Would this work for a blanket made entirely of granny triangles? I’ve been trying to search all over YT for a way to join granny triangles with an invisible join but have come back with nothing. Thank you!
Love your videos. Do you have one on hiw to hide the ends. I gave a blanket to my daughter and as time goes and she washes it a few of the ends have come out.
Has the end come unraveled or just starting to show and she has to clip it or try to tuck them back in? This rule of three will keep Them from unraveling because your end is going on 3 opposite directions. Along with the rule of 3, I would recommend that you do quite a long tail and that your last portion of the tail is tucked into a nice meaty group of stitches. I hope that helps
Can you please clarify if this technique is done with right sides together or the wrong sides together or it doesn't really matter whichever way it is done...thank you so much for the slow video ... technique is shown very clearly.
I outlined all my squares in a tan color. So if a joining stitch or two get sloppy, you can't tell. But, as I join, it gets easier and makes more sense. I finished joining the squares for one row of 10. Not perfect...but once square is joined, I think it will be okay. I plan on a ruffle edge when all is done.
Quick question...I'm working on my individual granny squares and laying them out as I want the color squares to appear. They are all outlined in a tan color. I'll use my tan yarn to ultimately join all squares. I'll use a decent length of yarn to join two squares. Should I leave tails and weave them in as I join the squares?
Sure, you can really do it however you like. I would suggest trying it and see how it feels for you. I usually would join a few squares and then weave the ends before moving on to the next batch.
I was thinking on joining squares vertically first so that I have a long strip and do the same for the rest of the squares. Then crochet the vertical strips (each of mine will be about 60" long) together. I don't know (yet) how that will work with the corners of each four squares (you had a circle). Maybe pause for the circle and then continue down each square of each vertical?
Sure, you really can do it however you like. I started with a horizontal strip and then for the second “strip or row of squares” I would join one by one to it moving from right to left (no specific reason, it just felt comfortable). But joining several vertical strips would certainly work. I trust that once you start working on it, you’ll find the perfect rhythm for you. There’s not a right or wrong with this 💕🧶
Do you have a video tutorial for the blanket that’s already been joined at 0:12 ? The flower design with the green border around the petals? That is a beautiful design!!
Oh please do! I agree with S Williams that your flower design with contrasting petal border is stunning! I really look forward to seeing your tutorial for it in the future. Thanks so much for sharing your techniques 😊
Thank you I will try it. I love the colors of your squares. What yarn did you use? I'm tired of the same colors I have been using. I working on a granny blanket now with contusions join. I didn't use dark colors ,because I cant see the stitches. But this one I needed to throw squares have popcorn flower's one each. Thay are light pink I'm using graphite for the granny part. I have had to frog so many times ,because I cant see .
I used a color pack called the sweet pea Cal that I found here : attic24.typepad.com/weblog/sweet-pea-blanket.html You can order this yarn in the US at LoveCrafts USA
I would suggest knotting it and leave a long tail of yarn and weave it into the square . Here’s a video to show you how I like to weave in ends ua-cam.com/video/xq-9_BBd94s/v-deo.html
@@user-jv1no3tt5u I don’t understand your question, this video shows how to secure them . Here is another video on the same technique ua-cam.com/video/x-3Ijs9Wm58/v-deo.html Or if you are needing to know how to weave in ends I would recommend this video ua-cam.com/video/xq-9_BBd94s/v-deo.html
When you buy your yarn in order to make a blanket using granny squares, which yarn is it easier to work with? Do you use bulky? Acrylic or cotton, and which weight of yarn?
Great question… I prefer using a weight 3 or 4 yarn with a 4mm hook (even if it’s a weight 4 I prefer the smaller hook size of 4) . So a light worsted to worsted is my personal preference . Acrylic is perfect for granny squares because the color choice is through the roof, washable and allergen friendly. Cotton or a cotton blend is great too. I like the stitch definition of the cotton but i would recommend you choose a cotton blend because it’s softer and easier to work with. Cotton doesn’t have much stretch to it on its own so it can really be hard on your hands. Hope that helps 💕
Thanks so much for this! However I have a question: I used this technique for my whole blanket but overtime because I guess the blanket is pretty heavy, it the seams started opening up again... I weaved them in as best as i could, so I don't know what i did wrong :(
Oh that’s a shame - I’ve never had that issue before, very surprised to read this .😕 I have several videos on how I weave in my ends but I’m not sure it would have been different from what you did. My only suggestion would be to add a little knot before you do your final weave in of the tail 💕
@@PlayHookywithMe Thanks so much for responding so quickly! Yeah i figured it might've been because i didn't weave the ends in tight enough or secured them with a knot. Will definitely do that from now on, thanks for the help!
I usually don’t knot the ends. I just make sure they are long enough to weave in very well. Knot them, though , if it makes you feel more confident with it 👍🏻🧶💕
Just weave it in ... I like to do 3 passes ... weave to the right, to the left and then to the right again. This way no matter how much it is pulled or washed , it won’t come out. ua-cam.com/video/xq-9_BBd94s/v-deo.html
I often find I have to omit chains in my squares to help with waviness. For example if a patterns calls for 3 chains in a corner, I might only do 2. For this pattern, I skipped the chains between the “granny clusters” (3 dc groupings) that are usually in granny square patterns. That the biggest tip I can give - omit chains when you can . 💕
Che belle le mattonelle. Vorrei capire come le cuci, ma non conosco l'inglese e quello che fai e' coperto dalle scritte, anche queste in inglese. Potresti mettere le scritte in italiano ? Grazie ( oppure togli le scritte)
What type/brand of yarn do you use for your granny squares? And how many different colors do you buy to get all the beautiful combinations you come up with which i think are beautiful ?
Thank you 💕 this is style craft special dk yarn. I ordered it from lovecrafts.com . I initially bought a pack from attic24 in the UK called sweetpea. It was for a blanket project but I use the yarn to make my own squares. This was many years ago but she still has the blog post available., You can see the colors here but you can order them at love crafts individually. You don’t have to buy her yarn pack 👍🏻💕 attic24.typepad.com/weblog/sweet-pea-blanket.html

Love your videos. Do you have one on hiw to hide the ends. I gave a blanket to my daughter and as time goes and she washes it a few of the ends have come out.
Has the end come unraveled or just starting to show and she has to clip it or try to tuck them back in?
This rule of three will keep
Them from unraveling because your end is going on 3 opposite directions. Along with the rule of 3, I would recommend that you do quite a long tail and that your last portion of the tail is tucked into a nice meaty group of stitches. I hope that helps
Can you please clarify if this technique is done with right sides together or the wrong sides together or it doesn't really matter whichever way it is done...thank you so much for the slow video ... technique is shown very clearly.
If you have the pieces Laying flat on a table it doesn’t matter but if you are holding them in your hand, then you want wrong sides together.

Can you use a crochet hook instead of a needle? I only have a hook, so I was wondering if it's possible.
Unfortunately, no. But here are some other flat seam joins that use a crochet hook : ua-cam.com/video/x-3Ijs9Wm58/v-deo.html
Can i use this method for making bag?? Please, let me know.
Absolutely, yes 👍🏻
@@PlayHookywithMe Thank you so much. 💜💜
thank you so much you very very good
Thankyou for your kind words , I’m glad it helped 💕
Do you knot the ends or just leave it loose ?
I usually don’t knot the ends. I just make sure they are long enough to weave in very well. Knot them, though , if it makes you feel more confident with it 👍🏻🧶💕
What did you do with the tail at the end?
Just weave it in ... I like to do 3 passes ... weave to the right, to the left and then to the right again. This way no matter how much it is pulled or washed , it won’t come out. ua-cam.com/video/xq-9_BBd94s/v-deo.html
How do you tie the ends off?
I just weave them in -

@@PlayHookywithMe Thank you!
Could I ask how you get the sides so neat.Is it a border?My squares are all wavy .
I often find I have to omit chains in my squares to help with waviness. For example if a patterns calls for 3 chains in a corner, I might only do 2. For this pattern, I skipped the chains between the “granny clusters” (3 dc groupings) that are usually in granny square patterns. That the biggest tip I can give - omit chains when you can . 💕
what do you do with the ends of the extra string ?
Weave them into the blanket . I like to do weave in three different directions to ensure it stays in place .
@@PlayHookywithMe thank you !!
try looking at what TL Yarn Crafts does, she is excellent!
Regarding what, though? What do you want me to see?
Che belle le mattonelle. Vorrei capire come le cuci, ma non conosco l'inglese e quello che fai e' coperto dalle scritte, anche queste in inglese. Potresti mettere le scritte in italiano ? Grazie ( oppure togli le scritte)
Ho aggiunto l'opzione italiana per te. 🧶💓
@@PlayHookywithMe Grazie mille
😊❤
What type/brand of yarn do you use for your granny squares? And how many different colors do you buy to get all the beautiful combinations you come up with which i think are beautiful ?
Thank you 💕 this is style craft special dk yarn. I ordered it from lovecrafts.com .
I initially bought a pack from attic24 in the UK called sweetpea. It was for a blanket project but I use the yarn to make my own squares.
This was many years ago but she still has the blog post available.,
You can see the colors here but you can order them at love crafts individually. You don’t have to buy her yarn pack 👍🏻💕

I want to reach all the videos you have uploaded to your page, I follow you and I need it, please I need Turkish translation for all videos. Can you please add all the videos please...❤❤❤
No, I’m sorry . I have nearly 200 videos and. Have to physically go into each video and add this for you. I added translations to the several you requested and that took me a long time.
@@PlayHookywithMe I understand you . Thank you for what you have done for me, I hope you have the strength to do this in your new videos. I will continue to follow you, thank you, love from turkey...😇🥰
@@ozgeerkol1611 I'm happy to add to them when you send me specific ones you want to watch. xx
Avec les écritures dans la vidéo,on ne voit pas la technique....dommage
I did not add writing. You have subtitles turned on and can turn it off yourself 😉
I can't see because the wording is in my way.
It sounds like you have your subtitles turned on. I would recommend turning it off if it’s filling your screen.
Thank you , very plain description.
