Robin, you are amazing. I have a terminal illness which makes me home bound, and when I happened upon your tutorials, I cannot tell you the joy I’ve experienced. Your voice, your upbeat attitude and the quality of your instruction and stitch work are amazing. Thank you so much. God bless you.
I am so pleased for you that you get so much enjoyment from Robin, I am sorry to hear what You are going through, I wish you many hours of enjoying your craft. 🥰
Hello Robin! Thank you so much for the video! Just want to let you know (or if it turns out you do know, anyone reading this) that by doing a 2dc, 1tr, 2dc in the corner stitch you can make a 100% solid square!
Thanks for that suggestion. I wanted to make one tight that my granddaughter couldn’t easily stick her fingers through. I made this, then added a US triple edging around the entire border and then a shell border of 5 dbc all around, added an Elmo soft topper in the middle, turned out to be an adorable lovey. Can’t wait to give it to her tomorrow. Thanks for all of your assistance ladies.🙂
This stitch makes a lovely, nearly hole free baby blanket... Your instructions are so clear... Thanks! And... Yes... Your nails are always beautifully done!
That is some of the prettiest verigated yarn I have ever seen. I'm going to get one of every color and make this blanket also. There wasn't a single color I didn't like. Thank you for teaching us to make such pretty things. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for showing the magic square use in the square. Your videos are great and the up close views are perfect. I love listening to your beautiful accent.
I love learning new ways to crochet different granny squares. Thank you for taking time out of your day to show us new ways. God bless you and all that come here to. Take care everyone
Thank you for this tutorial. I am now on my way to making a solid granny square afghan, following your clear & concise instructions. Yes, and I agree with the comment about your nails! x
Thanks for the amazing video. I have gone through many videos for this solid granny square but this one is completley satisfactory, very neat & very well explained.
Thanks, Robin, your tutorials are amazing. The way you explain is just fabulous. It's not long-winded, it's clear and concise. It gives me the confidence to keep trying new projects. I just finished the sunflower blanket in fact. Had fun doing it. A tutorial on a crochet tote bag would lovely...hint, hint, nudge, nudge 😁
I know I am watching this way late. I have been doing my solid granny squares all wrong. I'm glad I found this video. Now I won't be frustrated with them. Thanks.
I have watched over 6 different videos on this, not happy with the results until your version. I like the CH 2 instead of CH 3. It looks very clean! Thanks for sharing and posting
Following you on different projects you are introducing and I love them. I like this one so much I am going to start it tomorrow. Thank you for creating these videos, challenging our skill, and giving us super new projects! Keep it going.....
Excellent video. Ihad been struggling with a blanket pattern which uses solid granny squares. The pattern instructio s did not make ense at al. Found your video, so easy to follow with lerfect results. Thank you
I ordered one of each color scheme in the Boho Spirit and got them in the mail today. THEY ARE GORGEOUS! So soft also! I can't wait to start on this pattern. 😍
Hi Robin, Your tutorials are awesome. I'm sorry to say, I didn't believe you about the beginning CH2 for the DC, but I tried it because your squares are so beautiful. It looks so much better, I'm glad I followed your instructions. Camille
Your amazing!!! ❤️ Thanks for showing us how to crochet things....I have made lots of your stuff your amazing teacher and you explained things very well....😊
@@HookedbyRobin i love the magic ring also. It makes projects look so much neater when you start with one. But they hate me. I have been crocheting about 7 years and it has defeated me since day one. 😔 but one day it will just click. I hope. 😊
Thank you for another great video, the colour of the yarn is beautiful, would love to know how you joined the solid granny squares, I'm really looking forward to your next tutorial on how to join as you go for solid grannies. I only know how to join them using the single crochet method and I'm really pleased that I finally managed to learn the continuous join as go you method from you video. I'm looking forward to your next video on how to join a solid granny.
I crochet joined them - the video for how I joined them will be on my channel next friday 👍 x I am rubbish at sewing so always like to try and crochet join where I can! 😂
Hello Robin, I absolutely love all of your crochet videos 💕 Just wondering if you could do a tutorial with this stitch (and lots of others..😅) in a rectangle instead of a square please💖 my silly mind isn’t managing to figure out how to do them in a rectangle instead of top to bottom or instead of a square..😅 Thank you for all that you do Robin, you have no idea how appreciated your work is 🥰💖
I think you did a tutorial on crocheting 2 rows at a time. If so wld you repeat it as I can't find it now. Thank you in advance. I enjoy your tutorials. You are very easy to follow.
I go have one more tiny request for down the road. I am wanting to make a memory photo quilt for my brothers wedding anniversary in December of 2020. I have fervently searched the utube channels and found zip. If you could demonstrate how to take a piece of fabric and make a granny square edge on it to attach to your other squares (not the joking part), but how to prepare your edges, to crochet around them granny style I sure would appreciate it. I seen one where there was the regular granny squares attached together but throughout the afghan was disbursed photo squares. Some lady made it for her mother, when she lost a son. Very moving. I tried to get in touch but never heard back. So thank you for all you do.
Hi Robin, I'm thinking of using this pattern to make a temperature blanket for 2023 and I'm wanting to do the daily high and low temp shown on one square so I'm just wondering where the best place to change yarn colours would be? Perhaps in the same place as your "absolute beginner" granny square tutorial? Thanks so much for your tutorials, I used your moss stitch one for my 2022 temperature blanket (which I started in October haha) and I've found them all supremely helpful!
Nailed it again Robin with your tutorials 👍. I can always crochet straight along with your tutorials with no problems. Is it weird that I sctually prefer doing this version of a Granny Square (maybe if I did a big version I might change my mind with the extra stitches though lol) The look is more aesthetically pleasing to me too. How do you make crocheting anything so much easier 😊❤
Hi, did you make the video on connecting 3 across and three down, the other granny square one you showed it that way very very helping. I need to know how to do these the same way, going to start on some squares but need more clarification. I Appreciate how much you do for the crochet community and I know the work that goes into it and I thank you from the bottom of my heart
So, rather new to your videos, but couldnt help but wonder, what if the yarn i am using calls for a 5.5 crochet hook? Do I follow what my yarn says or go with what you are using?
Just have to say thank you! ☺️ Also, I feel you on the cat hair in the crochet thing 😂. Oh yes, I meant to ask you if there's a written pattern for this? That probably sounds silly because it's so simple, but it helps me get started. I looked on your website, and I couldn't find it.
Yes absolutely! I have been chatting to @blossomcrochet about filming a join as you go video for her 50/50 granny squares and this is the technique I would use for the solid sides :-)
Do you happen to have a video on how to finish in the corner so that you don't gave the seam running up a side? Also someone asked if you should turn after each row to prevent it twisting, but didn't see a reply. Thanks!
Beautiful square, Robin. And omg, your nails are just amazing with that blue. I'm looking for something. I bought a pattern from lillabjorncrochet. The Nya Mosiac blanket. But I only want a constant repeat of the geometry part within the pattern. Been trying to figure it out for days. Do you happen to know if there is anywhere on your travels you have seen just the geometry repeating part of that pattern? Yes, I realize I'm picky and specific...lol. Just wondering if maybe you have come across it where I haven't seen it.
Ok so I'm guessing you don't want the 2 rows of green sc at the top and want to continue with blue/ green? Like in her blog here? www.lillabjorncrochet.com/2017/07/nya-mosaic-blanket-free-crochet-pattern.html No divider sections?
If a continuous square for a baby blanket, would I need to turn over so it doesn’t get wonky? Or does it stay pretty square without turning? Thank You 🩷 ( new to crochet 😅)
This was an awesome video! Chaining 2 for next row is the trick (instead of 3). Question, when you join at the end of the row, it looks as if you only catch the back loop of the top of the 2nd chain (rather than picking up the entire ‘V’). Is that what u r doing? Thank you!
Hi I am using your videos to learn your solid granny squares and have a question for you. I find that, even when using the same brand and yarn weight for each square, the thickness of the yarn seems to vary greatly depending on colour and that my squares are not working up to the same sizes as a result. How do you deal with that problem?
hmm that is frustrating when brands have slight variations in thickness with their colours! OK so, I have a couple of options that I would plump for - first option: don't worry about it! If it isn't a huge difference then you probably won't even notice once they are joined and in their final blanket form. Life is too short to worry about perfection! (This would be my preferring option because I am all about laziness haha!) OR, if it is really bothering you or the difference is massive, you can go for option 2 which would be to block your squares. Pin them out and spritz them with water and let them dry. You can stretch the slightly smaller ones up to size that way. There is also option 3 which would be to go for a join which is very forgiving. Something like a flat braid join which is a lacy chain type join which would mean that any size differences would be minimal to the eye. I hope all that makes sense! 😀
Hooked by Robin thank you so much for your suggestions. I just bought a steamer the other day so will try that first. Don’t know why that didn’t occur to me...beginner brain here.lol The difference in size is quite obvious, especially if using different brands of 4 medium US yarns. I will also go learn the flat braid join. Love your tutorials...they are so perfect for me. I love the way you talk us through the project. Thanks so much for everything.
How many skeins of the Crofters would it take to make a baby blanket 36 by 36 either with multiple squares or one big square? What about a larger afghan either multiple squares or ome big sguare? I will watch for an answer.
Oooh good question! I'm not sure I can answer it to be honest - I'd suggest maybe seeing how many squares you get out of one ball? They aren't very big, I've got a fair few squares out of one ball but I'd imagine you would probably need a lot 🤔 I've got 5 balls and think I'll probably get a lap sized blanket out of it x
Did you use Snuggly DK.weight or Snuggly Baby weight.? Would 20 skeins be enough or too much? I am thimking of trying to use a 4.5 or 5 crochet hook if possible. I tend to have tight tension How does that affect how much yarn I woild need? I don't want to run out of yarn.

Did you use Snuggly DK.weight or Snuggly Baby weight.? Would 20 skeins be enough or too much? I am thimking of trying to use a 4.5 or 5 crochet hook if possible. I tend to have tight tension
How does that affect how much yarn I woild need? I don't want to run out of yarn.
How much yarn so I need for the Solid Grammy Aquarell from crofters for a King Site throw ?

Hey! I've just finished making this, mines come out a little wobbly? It doesn't lay perfectly flat? Is there any way to correct this?
Just to clarify, if I want to change colours each row, should I slip st in the ch 2 or the corner?
How do you keep your center from twisting
Robin where can I get the written instructions for the solid granny square? Can I purchase it? let me know...
