    Hi Everyone! If you want to see a complete Row by Row in real time demonstration of this square, please see our Live Workshop here: ua-cam.com/users/live4gW3f_6N0GE?feature=share
    Other Important Tips:
    1. This square is essentially a Solid Double Crochet Granny Square with loops added at each corner and atop the middle stitch of each side (every row).
    2. Row 1: Side Count = 3, Row 2: Side Count = 7, Row 3: Side Count = 11, Row 4: Side Count = 15, Row 5: Side Count = 19, Row 6: Side Count = 23
    3. There is an equal number of stitches on either side of the Middle Stitch in each side. The Middle Stitch always gets the Ch-10 Loop.

      I’m working on the March square, taking my time. I’ve frogged round two twice. But it’s not going to win. I am .
      I keep stopping and starting Jayda, I’ll master the March square I’m sure of it..
      I figured out that by clipping the loops down with clear stitch markers I can see the square much better and I use green stitch markers for the corner loops.
      I’ve finally made to
      round four. I’m on my way now.
      And yes. Set it down walk away in between rounds, or even corners if you have too.
      But stitch markers helped me so much. Don’t get frustrated. You’ve got this

    • @JaydaInStitches
      @JaydaInStitches  7 місяців тому

      Hi we address this at the end of the video! It's the same number of rows and stitches. Tension can vary from person to person as can the way a pattern unfolds. My March square is exactly the same size as my January square and my February square is the same height as the other two and just a smidgen skinnier on account of the pattern.

  • @jessiekluka
    @jessiekluka 7 місяців тому +1

    This square has got me stumped. I have the pattern down. My stitch counts are right. My hook and yarn are the same sizes I've been using. When I make the square, however, it comes out warped and bunchy as if there are too many stitches. I don't know what to do.

    • @JaydaInStitches
      @JaydaInStitches  7 місяців тому +1

      Hi Jessica! If it ruffles or warps you might find it helps to pull out the 4 corners at the end of each row as I do. This helps ease up on the tension of your stitches. Creating the braids also essentially gives the square 8 spines and that can make the dc sts in between either feel loose or bunched up. This can make the square overall a little bigger than the other squares, but like I mentioned, all patterns work a little different, so sizing can vary. So long as the stitch count is accurate it will work 😊 You can block your square if the ruffling irks you in the short term but when you have it joined up with it's neighbour squares later on it will smooth out.

    • @JaydaInStitches
      @JaydaInStitches  7 місяців тому

      Hi Jackie, you can start adding Ladders at any time, but that will change the look of the initial square. Imagine several rows ahead, maybe Row 10 and half way between the corner and the middle Ladder you start a new one, and do the same on the other side of the middle ladder and do that on all 4 sides. Then, each row after that you'd be making a ladder directly on top of the previous rows'. You'd now be making 3 ladders per side in addition to the corner ladders. The ladders would NOT start in the centre, they would just suddenly start part way through the square. I think It would still look pretty cool 😁

      Hi Gail! I'm so happy to hear you got it! Don't worry about it begin wavy, but if you pull out the corners as you work (at the end of each row as I was doing) it will help ease the stitches. The waviness will disappear once it's added into the blanket. But you can also block it lightly right now if you want too 💗

    • @JaydaInStitches
      @JaydaInStitches  5 місяців тому +1

      Hi! Do not slip stitch into the chained loop, this will create an extra stitch. You want to put the loop over your hook, or put another way, put your hook THROUGH the chained loop, like it's not there, and then double crochet into the next st. You don't want to slip stitch into the chained loop and treat it like a stitch because then you'd have to skip a stitch before or after that while crocheting in order to maintain the correct stitch count. That would throw off the look of the square. Once row 6 is finished, you can go around and pull out all the loops to make them sit properly on your square 😊

      Hi Mary! Yes, the loops sits on top of the middle stitch of the side, but we have to make that stitch before we put the loop on top. If you make it again, you might find it helpful to also mark the middle stitch of each side with a stitch marker and think of that stitch as something "other". That's the stitch that gets the loop. Then you'll see there are an equal number of stitches on either side of it. I hope that helps 😊

      Hi Mary! Just think of it like a solid double crochet granny square. You're just adding in these loops and they're always added in at the same spot (middle of each side and the corners). If you want to practice Jacob's Ladder, we've linked our scarf tutorial down below. You might find that really helpful 💗

    • @JaydaInStitches
      @JaydaInStitches  7 місяців тому

      Hi! The pattern is pretty much established by the end of row 3 and it's on repeat for the rest of the square. Its essentially a solid double crochet granny square (this one here: ua-cam.com/video/dJ7bGt6-9jg/v-deo.html ) with loops added in at the corners and halfway through each side. You might also find it helpful to mark the stitch in the middle of each side that gets the loop built on it. You can add the stitch marker to the fronts of these 4 stitches, that way you know where to add the loop. If you get lost, just pause and count the stitches 💗 If you have a specific question, please feel free to ask and I'll do my best to answer 😊

  • @louannbenware6104
    @louannbenware6104 7 місяців тому +1

    Thanks for addressing joining methods but still feel “ lost “ about join as you go on this project when sides on each square are different. Will have to put a lot of thought and research on how to accomplish this! Does purchasing a pattern help with this?

    • @JaydaInStitches
      @JaydaInStitches  7 місяців тому +1

      Hi Louann! If you want to use a JAYG method, the easiest way by far will be to complete the squares as is according to the pattern. Then, add a finishing row of the granny shell stitch to each square, using the JAYG method along with it. You would want to use (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc, ch 1) in each corner space, and *skip 2 sts, (3 dc, ch 1) in the next st* across each side. If you're making for grannies 6 rows of the pattern like me, then your 7th row would be (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc, ch 1) in each corner and you'd have (3 dc, ch 1) 7 times along each side.

      @JaydaInStitches  7 місяців тому +1

      Hi Katherine! Just think of it as a solid double crochet granny square. That's what it is at it's core, and we're adding a loop in each corner and on top of the middle stitch of each side. The loops, when braided, act as spines so they might add a little floppiness to the look of your square, but that will even out when it's attached 💗

    Okay, I ADORE the jacobs ladder stitch. All of my nieces blankets are made with it. However! I really wish I'd known about this pattern sooner! Cause' I coulda used it on my nephews blankets. That way all the cousins could have had more similar blankies. Ah well, thank you for the pattern Teacher Jayda! I will definitely be using it in the future!
    TIP: If you feel the braids are too loose. Twist them. When your pulling loop 2 through 1. Twist loop 2 first, and then pull through loop 1. I personally do this, cause it makes the braid feel sturdier to me.

    This month's pattern is one that goes much slower than the previous ones, but there's always one or two every year that take more time.
    I didn't need any stitch markers as this square gets really square after round two and it's clear since the second round where are the corners. I had a bit of problems with finding the tops of stitches during the few rounds of the first square (I'm making four squares for each pattern), but then it was so easy to crochet without even looking at the video.
    Jayda, I really appreciate that you told us how many stitches are per side in every round. That was the most helpful hint to keep everything in order.
    A bit of advice: start braiding loops after the second round. It really helped me to see everything much better.

    • @JaydaInStitches
