Thank you. A very clear explanation. I like the fact that you can arrange the squares before you join with this method.
Iggyknit oh good, thank you! And yes, absolutely, me too 👍
I am currently working on this joining method and I love it! One question: do you use the recommended hook size for the yarn? I was thinking of going up 1/2 hook size
I think I did use the recommended hook for my project but you can always try going up a hook size and see if you are happier with how that looks. 👍
Hi Sandra - thanks for the really clear instructions, I'm making a mini one to see how I go as a car seat blanket for my soon to be new grand-daughter - how do we do this if e have started making cream squares and have finished the cream squares off so i don't have a loop to pull through to the back and I'm no longer attached to a ball of yarn - hope that makes sense :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to record this. Clear, concise and considered. Looking forward to starting one of my own now :-)
LOVE this!! I’m a quilter of 30 years but am just starting to crochet so this is perfect 😍
Beautiful results, for sure! Super clear video technique, thoughtful US/UK simultaneous translation 😁. Love ❤️ it; subscribed & joined your little world. 🇺🇸🇬🇧😀
Oh thank you for such a lovely comment, I'm so glad!! ❤️
Love it! I finally have my colors lined out and I’m ready to get started. Very clear and easy to follow tutorial! Thank you 😊😊
OMG I've already made a pile of white squares and weaved in the ends! Can i still use them for this join?
Thank you Sandra, Just discovered your crochet blanket now - it is absolutely charming, and I’m so appreciative of your pattern and wonderful tutorials. It is also excellent for a small project to take along. Thank you for being so kind to share!
Ahh thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed. ❤️
I am really enjoying making my colored squares. Soon I will order the yarn to begin joining them. A life project, for sure.
Ha ha, yes it is a bit of an epic project isn’t it?! ❤️❤️
Thank you for this beautiful blanket. I love the small 3 row squares, but the join has been more difficult for me. 😅
hi i just startet a granny square blanket and i am now looking forbways to join them in the end.
os it possible tobuse your veraion even if all the squares are allready done and i had to start to join them with a new yarn?
Brilliantly done! God bless you for helping us! Your talent is wonderful and much appreciated❤️
Absolutely brilliant! I love the way the four corners come together so tidily! Thank you so much!!! :D
love, love, love this pattern. I only do projects that make my jaw drop. And this blanket filled the bill.
Hello Sandra! Can you explain how you hide your yarn tails? I don't know how to hide them invisibly in crochet. It looks so different from knitting. Thanks! Lovely blanket!
Hi, I don’t have a specific video on this yet but I do have a photo tutorial on my website…. www.cherryheartcrochet.co.uk/2014/04/weaving-in-ends.html
Hope that helps!
I crocheted my solid granny squares & coloured ones before joining. When joining you have the white solid granny squares with a loop (which I don’t have) . Will I use the white yarn & slip stitch into the corner to start joining???
If you’ve made all your squares already then this tutorial won’t work the same for you. You will basically be joining from the back in the usual way. I’d normally start in the corner for that. ❤️
Love it, thank you so much, warm regards from the Netherlands, Loes x
Perfect, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. Excellent tutorial.🤗
Once again, thank you for sharing!
I love these little squares. Do u have a video tutorial on how to make them? I have seen the tutorial on your website but I learn so much better with video tutorials. Thanks for all your help
I want to do this. Its great if you have small amounts of wool left over. I must admit I love the back look of the blanket more. I like to see the join ridge around the squares. Thank you for this tutorial.
Love your stitch work.
Beautiful and very relaxing to watch. Cheers from Western Australia.✌🏻
Thank you! 😊
You are so skilled. Love the blanket and your joining method. 😊
Am loving making my squares. Wonderful clear tutorial. Thank-you .what a lovely way to use my scrap wool.
Ty, very good video. Also loved the camera work. Alas, not everyone on u tube are as proficient.
Everyone is.?.. grammar police 🥰🥰🥰
I made about 36 squares from scrap yarn because it was such fun, before I realized I should be doing it “join as you go.” But if I use white as my main color I should still be able to join my scrap squares your way? 🤷♀️
If you r already made the squares you can just join from the back in the usual way. ❤️
@@CherryHeart Thanks SO much for responding. Looks like I can do a little of both. 🥰
Thanks so much Sandra! That was a wonderful description of “how-to”!
Paula Johnson thank you so much!! 😘
Thank you so much❤
初めまして、
とても素敵なステッチですね🍀
編んでみたいと思います(*^.^*)
How many squares did you make for this blanket?
I made 1080 in total!
Hello my cousin loved her blanket. Over 29 colors, I used cotton yarn, and it ended up queen size:
Your instructions are just so clear! There are new folks (younger possibly) who have never sewn so don't know what and why RIGHT SIDES TOGETHER works how it does!
Thank you for the tutorial, very helpful.
Karol Jelbert Thank you! ❤️
Hello & thank you Sandra, I enjoyed your podcast and the tutorial. Your blanket is lovely. I have a question please - if we make a batch of white squares up before we start joining, approximately how long should the tail yarn be to work around two or three color squares? Is there a formula you use depending on the square size? Thank you!!
Jill Pohren to be honest, part of the joy of this method for me was avoiding having to do that very thing! 😉 I’m not sure how much as I didn’t do it, but I can tell you the (very unscientific) way I judged it for my weekender blanket if you like.... 😉
Make up a white square, and work the round of dc’s (us sc’s) that you’d need to join. Leave yourself a tail and cut the yarn. Then unravel that last round back to the point where you have just finished the square. Now see how long that tail of yarn is. As a rough guide to how much to leave for all the others, I wrapped this long tail around the flat of my palm and just counted how many wraps it took - just as an easy way to measure... I think I might have added an extra wrap, just in case my tension varied slightly or something !
Ha ha, see, technical! 😂😂 Hope that helps.

Sandra Paul thank you! I love that method- no need to break out the tape or ruler! Thanks!
Hi Sandra, thanks so much for your great videos. I have a question about this joining method......do you lay out all the squares first so you can plan the placement of the colours or do you just randomly join squares?
Yes, I tend to like a bit of organisation and so I do like to lay mine out first and see where I want the colours to go. :)
Sandra Paul ok thank you so much. I had started to make 4 round solid squares when I first saw your beauty! Now I am inspired to do a version of it. Loving it! Thank you so much for your input. I should have asked too...do you start in the middle and join on squares outwards?
Thank you for sharing this brilliant 'invention'. I have been looking for this type of join for a while, but did not have the experience to figure one out on my own.
Hi Sandra! This is so neat! Two questions. When you make the white squares do you not finish if so as to join the other four blocks? And when the blocks of five are joined I don’t understand how those are joined to another. Thanks for the great videos!
Oh this is brilliant. I wish I’d found this before beginning my squares! I have so many made already. I’m saving this for later!
Do you find it better to join groups of squares to other groups of squares? Or lay them out in rows and join the rows? Or does it really matter?
Me encanta ! Por favor una idea de como distribuir los colores?
Thank you Sandra 🍒 great tutorial!
I have a question for you. I've been trying to find out which acrylic (or part acrylic) yarns are the the best and also have a good color selection.
I believe you you Style Craft. Does it tend to do well in the wash and not pill too much? Does that yarn have a lot of shine ? I tend to go for less shine and it's difficult to tell on the computer. I also saw a brand that was 80 percent cotton and 20 percent alpaca. Have you ever worked with anything like that?
I was glad to see that you put up another podcast. I haven't been able to watch it all yet. Best to watch when the house is quite and my little Dash is snuggled up to my side.

Do you have a video how to do the squares...i am not good at reading patterns
Adaliz Bazan Sorry, not a video. There’s a photo tutorial though, that’s linked above. ❤️
Excelente!!! Gracias por la explicación!!! Excelent!!! Thanks for the explication!!!!
Is the granny crochet square tutorial the same as the pattern for the Battenberg blanket?
Do you have a video for the border? I completed my blanket and am ready to finish
Yes I do, it’s in the pattern. Links below the video. ❤️
Thank you so much! I found it and will be anxious to finish my blanket! ❤
Super
Thank you for showing me this method, my blanket is going well x
U.S. version is called Single Crochet from the back. 🙂
Hi Sandra, I've came across this beautiful blanket sometime ago 💞 I am a crocheter but never make large projects because I get bored with the repetition. However, I am always drawn back to this beauty. So tempted.......🤔❤️😍
Always happy to draw some one in!!
I have been using a really similar technique to make a much larger blanket. It's nice for when you want the right side to have a very smooth join.
must crochet this beautiful blanket off to the store for yarn
Hi- I love your blanket and am making it as we speak....I dont understand however, how your joining method is JAYG. You have to complete each square before you can join, right? I just want to make sure I am understanding the terms correctly. I've been using the method where you join each square as you complete the last round, using the pull-loop-through join
how many squares you made back then ?
Top👍🧶
I just found your channel, and I’m delighted! I really like your Modular JAYG method. Well done ❤
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you! One question what if you wanted to make the squares bigger but use the same pattern is that possible or will it really distort that lovely look?
madison's magikal Hi, yes you could make the squares bigger and still use the same technique just fine! 👍❤️
Fantastic tutorial and very clear to see everything you are doing! I may have missed you saying, and I apologize if I did. I do not mean to be a bother. Did you leave the tails of the white squares long knowing you would use them to crochet them to the colored squares or did you really join as you made squares? Meaning, didi you make a few squares, join them, make square, add them on, etc.?
My future solid granny square afghan I plan to use 15-16 different colors (no white) I can't decide it if makes more sense to make all the squares and leave long tails for future seaming/crocheting together. Or if I should just start randomly joining them as I go. Hmmmm Thoughts?
As I knew I'd be using only white squares for the joining, I made all the colourful squares first (with ends woven in) then I did all the joining with the white squares after, so I finished each one as I went along.
But if you are not using the white it sounds like you might be better off leaving tails for seaming together later. I did that with another blanket of mine and it worked out quite well.
Of course if you are doing that, you could always make the squares and just join them in a more conventional way later once you are happy with the arrangement... this method just happens to suit the alternate squares especially well but it totally depends what joining styles you prefer I guess!
Just to confirm what I think you said...you make all of your little squares first and then put it together?
I made the colourful squares first yes, but then I made the white ones and joined each one to the colourful ones as I go.
Lovely. I wanna make this blanket. Great way to use up your stash.
Can you do these with basic redheart acrilic
This remains my favourite make by a mile, love it so much
Lovely blanket thanks for sharing
Hi Sandra, thank you for this tutorial, this is really useful to see it done in 'real time'. How much of a tail do you leave for the white yarn to join the the squares? Thanks!
Hi. Thanks so much, so glad it helped! I don’t actually cut the yarn of the white squares until I’ve done the join. I worked up a whole bunch of colourful squares at a time so that I plenty ready to go. ☺️
Thank you for a great tutorial :) I love the yarn you are using, it looks so puffy and soft. May I ask what it is?
Nita Dances I This was some acrylic I had in stash, I think it’s the Paintbox palette stuff ❤️
Excellent tutorial! Do you block it afterwards? Mine is coming out a little less flat than I hoped for.
YoonJi Annie Kim I was planning to block my blanket but actually, as it’s growing I’m not sure it’ll be necessary, it seems like the size and weight of it will take care of it for me, but you could certainly block if you like, or if it’s for something smaller maybe.
You explain very clear, indeed!
Thank you great tips xx
Beautiful blanket! Thank you! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
Good sister 👌
thank you so much!!
Is there a pattern for the border? Mahalo, Bev
Yes there is, it’s in the download. ❤️
@@CherryHeart ooo! Thank you so much!
Nice beautiful nice
Very interesting!
You're a born teacher, thank you.
chrissie hardman what a lovely compliment, thank you! ❤️
روعة برافو
Brilliant, thank you Sandra. Very clear and now I'm even more inspired to make a blanket with my hitherto unused left over yarn 🤗🤓😁
Fran d'Fleurs thanks so much, oh I’m relieved, I always like to know if it all makes sense and is understandable! ☺️😘😂
I’m looking for your tutorial about how to make those granny square. I crochet a lot but I never made granny square. I will love to make this blanket, it is adorable 🤗 thank you
Marcia Silvia Johnson Thanks so much! See the little box below the video for the link to the square tutorial. 👍❤️
Thanks
am going to try this technique, thank you for the vid ..... i am assuming by watching that the yarn you use to do the joining are long tails ending in your white square corners, correct?
syrahlover well, I am in the video because I had to pre-prepare some squares ready for the recording. but usually, when I make the blanket, the yarn is coming straight from the ball. (In other words, I make a white square, use it to join some colourful squares, cut yarn, then make the next white square and so on...). I hope that makes sense!
Thanks love this so easy to follow
Thank you so much. Your tutorials are so clear and helpful to me!
Oh thank you so much! ❤️
Thank you for this Sandra. What a good teacher you are. Beautifully done :)
Thanks so much!
Thank you so much Sandra!! I can't wait to get mine started. This is such a sweet blanket! :)
Thanks so much Sharon! :)

This is brilliant! thank you Sandra!!

It's so beautiful 🤩
Thank you so much!!! 😘😘
How long of a tail do I need to leave on the white squares to use for joining?
I don't leave a tail on the white squares, as I'm using those to join as I go. I make the square, work the join (as per the tutorial) and then once that's done, then I snip!
Im so glad I read this comment before making another white square. I made one white square and snipped the tail. 😂😂
😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you
Thank you 😊
Beautiful piece! I’m working the colored squares. Do you sew in the tails, before joining as you go with the neutral colored squares?
Very clever indeed, I just love your special blanket. I have just found your tutorials and have subscribed for more.
Thank you Sandra. Di from Australia
Thank you for this! I'm making a baby blanket with your solid squares pattern...out of scraps so it's very colorful :) ... now on to the joining! Yay!
Oh wonderful, scrappy blankets are so satisfying!!
