I know this video is incredibly old, but it has been an absolute life saver for me. thank you so much for this, it's given me my inspiration back, and something to do with all my yarn!! not to mention, your voice is so calm and soothing and i love your little giggles. you're awesome. keep rockin' and rollin', man!
😂 I second that!!!
Hi Fiber Spider, I was in a granny mood. I’ve been eyeing this tutorial for a few years. You did a great job of explaining this and I’m really enjoying the project. Note: I want to thank you for your kindness to us subscribers. You are sweet and respectful. I’ve been finding quite a bit of negativity to us, subscribers, especially on other UA-cam channels on their live podcasts. Thank you for doing “Happy Mail” instead. It shows how much you appreciate us, subscribers.
Stumbled upon this video quite by chance. Enjoyed it a lot. I especially love the fact that you don't edit out your dropped stitches. For a beginner like me, that increases my confidence.
As much as I would like to "ex-ter-mi-nate" dropped stitches, its all part of not being a machine, lol. Thank you. 😉 BTW, Tom Baker is my personal favorite.
@@FiberSpider LOL. Tom Baker is my father's ex cousin-in-law. I, personally, don't have faourites.
I"m on furlough from my job right now. I am so going to BINGE WATCH your tutorials!!! Gimme yarn, coffee, and this channel
The granny stitch is becoming my absolute favorite too. I am making a blanket for my Mom for Christmas. Off white, dusty rose and grass green.
In this moment I feel so much happiness and peace in my life that I have never felt before! I began crocheting this year, maybe 6 months ago. I’d dabbled here and there with school (making some sort of latch hook carpets with yarn, sack cloth, and an actual crochet needle) and my sister would crochet and I’d watch her.
The only thing I’ve been able to master is the granny square. I’ve been making a baby blanket of infinity granny square. It’s great to work with my hands, making a baby blanket for my friend in Canada, listening to audiobooks - but it got a bit monotonous. Doesn’t help that I have been using 4 balls of the same multicolor yarn.
But I don’t like working in squares. There’s not much creative freedom.
I’m almost done with my friend’s blanket and want to move on to making my own. And please no infinity granny square! I want to learn the granny rectangle. But honestly not ready for it yet. A few weeks ago I learnt the granny stitch! It’s so lovely. I made myself a head band.
But there’s also the issue of cost. Yarn is expensive where I live. I don’t have much money to buy a million different colored yarns for my blanket. I want to treat myself to different colors every month.
And then today I was googling granny blankets and found the website crochetbeja. I watched the video. And I am in awe that I can combine everything I like into a project. I’m going to have creative control over my colors and my rows. The last pattern idea truly blew me away! You mean to tell me I can do all this with crochet? I am in awe. I am in complete bliss. This is what heaven feels like. OH EM GOSH. How am I going to sleep tonight??? I’ll buy myself 4 different colored balls of yarn every month and slowly work on a blanket for myself in my own quirky color combination!
Ugh I’m so happy today.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I love your work and have learned alot from you . You are very slow which gives us time to learn new stiches . I have learn 6 new stitches since I I have found you thank you so much . Looking forward to learning more . Up till you all I could do was the basic granny square
You could also take a different colour and just outline with on or 2 full rounds then go back to the the log cabin effect for your 4 rows of the log cabin L's. Then use your outline coloured yarn to fully surroud it again. There are lots of variations
“Aha! I gotcha!” I just love your tutorials, not just for the amazing projects and great instruction, but for your fun personality:)
I just want to say thank you for being so clear and easy to follow. With how you teach, I not only remember but enjoy the learning because you are such a friendly and wonderful person! Ever since I found you I've learned how to do so much and it's easy to learn with your instructions
I’m a crochet newb. Trying to learn basic stitches. My jaw dropped in awe of your finished afghans. I’m learning to love the granny square too. Thank you!
I really enjoy your tutorials, because you always go way beyond the call of duty. GOOD JOB!!!
So so addictive! Really thought I was sick of double crochets but I've always liked the log cabin pattern of any kind. This is the first "real" granny stitch afghan I've ever done. It's turning out beautifully!
Well Mr. Spider, I made this for my friend and my dear precious son "stole" it!😯 I'm doing it again and this time I will put it in my friend's hands myself! 😁
I made this afghan with 4 different colors, and everyone loves it!! thanks so much for your tutorial. I am on my second one of this pattern using 1 variegated and 6 other colors. They are the same colors as the variegated yarn. I am doing it a little different though. I am doing 6 rows of the regular granny square, then 2 of one color followed by 4 of another and so on. I have pictures I can send you if you like. This tutorial is wonderful. Have a wonderful day and stay safe.
Oh Fiber Spider!! Now you are feeding TWO of my obsessions...crochet AND quilting. You are awesome!
Love making the log cabins for this in quilting
I only recently started crocheting (about two or three months ago), and just came across your videos about ten days ago. I'm so grateful for that as you are a creative, and wonderful teacher! I'm doing this pattern with Red Heart With Love Metallics (white with iridescent sparkle for the center color, followed by Caron Simply Soft in Victorian Rose, and then Red Heart With Love Metallics black with silver sparkles. The look is dramatic and stunning. I'm looking forward to seeing it get larger and larger!
Beautiful colors! You are a very kind and gentle teacher. Thank you for all your videos!
I believe this is my favorite pattern right now!!! I’m 43 and started quilting when I was 17. I had tried many many times to make a log cabin quilt and never could get it right. I absolutely love this tutorial, I can actually make the log cabin now in crochet. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us!!! I also appreciate that you give us different ideas! I think I’m gonna make the blocks and then put them together first. Thank you again!!!
I finally found someone that really LOVE doing Granny Square. Thank you!
Love your designs. I recommend you to everyone who crochets, beginner to advanced. Just want you to never apologize for "yammering". Not everyone learns the same way, so when you are demonstrating your stitches , then show us how to and then tell us your idea behind the count, and why you have worked it out that way, then say again, maybe a different approach to thinking about it,and a helpful suggestion tacked on to that, (whew) that is what a good teacher does! Never change! I did your diamond and lace blanket and you add a double crochet into the pattern and it was such a light bulb moment, but one I would have never seen. Thank you for your dedication. It means the world to so many of us.
Thanks for moving the top of the stitch forward so we can see that hook goes through both stitch or through just a single stitch. I hope this makes since. My crocheting has improved drastically.
Making this pattern for my hubby for Christmas. Using lion brand Heartland in 4 color ways.
Thank you for your easy to follow instruction. You are Loved !
Thank you for being so kind about explaining granny squares. Yes people may know them but if you are new to crochet and want to do something like this they still need to have it explained. I was on another site and the people were complaining because some "beginners" were saying the person was going to fast. Well it is a learning video they should go a little slower. Anyway, thank you for being so kind and generous with the way you teach.
I love this and I’m not a Granny Square fan. I was given yarn and a partially finished GS afghan with the promise I’d finish it. Instead, I’ll pull it apart and do this. 😁. Thank you!!!!
Amazing ideas. Often you remind me of Mr. Rogers. Your kind, gentle ways. Your desire to teach. I do find you to be a blessing. Ty.
Your videos are always a joy to watch!
I've adopted your technique for connecting to turning chains, and I'd like to share a trick I use instead of slip-stitching across a cluster at the start of each round. I replace the final chain stitch of the fourth corner with a single crochet (double crochet for my countrymen). Then I chain up from there and work the next two double crochets (trebles in the UK) over the single. It means that I always start and finish in a corner.
Thank you! When I saw this one I wanted to try it. I've been stuck in a rut so I'm so happy you did this one. Thank you for all the work you do!
thanks for the refresher...i hadnt done a granny square in 50 years, and loved this pattern.
Your tutorials are the best. Everything explained properly and you are never in a rush. Thanks Fiber Spider for your inspiration and your gorgeous designs !
I've known how to make a granny square since I was five years old. But I still listen to you go over it again, cuz you have such a lovely, comforting voice. BTW, I'm making this pattern for my daughter's wedding gift; she requested it specifically.
Thank you Fiber Spider. I was one of the many that asked for the parquet shawl to be in blanket form. I will be making this soon. I'm already picturing it in many different color combos and weights of yarn.Thanks again
ive not crocheted for yrs i decided to do a blanket using the granny pattern but somewhere i went wrong its lost its shape so ill have to start again i used 6 chain stitches to start then 3 st inbetween each of the 3 clusters .. so glad ur version is better thank u for your tutorial x
I am ashamed to admit that I just recently found your channel. (Wish it was sooner) But I am "hooked"
Absolutely love you. Your tutorials are amazing and your personality seems so down to earth. Can't wait to binge watch all your videos!!
حياكة في منتهى السلاسة ، لم أر مثل هذا نهائيا ، هذا العمل احترافي جدًا .
Love love love this Log Cabin Granny Square afghan!! Will be be back to this video to make sure I have it done and can customize mine as I go!! Thanks for your wonderful instructions and explanation of everything!!
I love how you explain for beginners. I just learned how to crochet during the pandemic and have made a few things already. I just made a shawl for the first following your instructions
Eu moro no Brasil, numa cidade chamada Fortaleza. Não sei escrever muito bem em inglês. Mais eu fiz amostra que você estava fazendo. Você explica tão bem e mostra sempre o trabalho, que dar para qualquer pessoa acompanhar seu trabalho. Parabéns

Nice presentation. Made a knee/lap throw with matching cushion

O Yes ... I’m Doing The Yarn’s Blanket’s Now & add New & Old Yarn’s Toooooooooooo Making King’s Size Colorful Color’s Yarn’s Blanket’s Now ... I Thank You So Much ... Bless You ... Amen 🙏🥰💜👑👀🧶🌍✍️😇👀
This is so easy. I got some Bernat Blanket on clearance and tried it. It makes a cute and quick lapghan or baby blanket. Thanks for this tutorial!
You give excellent verbal instructions. Thank you so much for making this a fun and easy project.
I started a blanked like this a few weeks ago. Im almost done. And the rows seem to become eeeendless the larger it gets 😂
But its very relaxing to work on it
Finished this for a gentleman friend and wanted to add border that didn't look frilly, but added a little more than a single crochet around. I found (on youtube) Jayda InStitches' Simple and Elegant Crochet Blanket Border. I really felt it was perfect for the granny stitch afghan. Thanks to both of you for being such great instructors and sharing your patterns!
I love the way he explains in easy to understand words. And, he's funny
I think this is a fun and easy pattern...I will have to make a few in red, white, and blue for the veterans... thanks again for sharing...
Love this video .I have made one of these throws using all chocolate colours and I am so pleased with it.
I have just started the kaleidoscope throw and really enjoying making that.
Am making mine presently with a rectangular granny square...working out beautifully.
when you said "an L around a square" bingo! it made sense to me finally. thank for taking the time to explain this so that I can understand it♥♥
What a lovely, friendly man.
I love to crochet along with you.
You explain everything in great detail and that way there's no guess work.
Thank you Linda in th UK
This is a awesome video! I started with this one this morning and decided to choose 5 colors. In particular, I LOVE the variety of what we can do with this way of crocheting with the granny square stitch. I really love the fact that I can make my own unique blanket by just creating and building, building and building. Yes, I've watched till the end 😉
Thank you so much, Craig 🤗 🙏 Just love it 😍 Greets from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 and a very good weekend to everybody🤗❤️🧶
Wow my mind is going a hundred miles an hour right now with all the possibility with your tutorial ..Thank you so much!!😍😍😍❤❤💞💕💗💘💖❤❤👍👍👍👍😁😁😁
You seem very huggable. Super sweet. Thanks for sharing your awesome heart with us.
I have tried so many other log cabin blankets that just didn't work after so many rows or rounds or i just couldn't wrap my head around them, but this video made it so much easier that im making this one for my and my husbands bed then going to make one for my best friend
Huge fan also of the Granny. :) Love how you teach. I have been crocheting for over 50 years
and still love learning new things. Thank you. Stay safe and healthy.
Your voice is so soothing lol. Thanks for clear instructions 😊
Love this pattern, granny is my absolute favorite and great way to get rid of my leftovers!
You're right I did not know how to make the Granny Pattern but your explanation is clear, thank you I understand now.
thanks so much for your tutorial. I crocheted the center in a granny flower petal... very pretty.
Love love this blanket
Doing the 3rd one for another gift! This time I'm doing tows of 2, all 4 weight scrap yarn. Wish me luck!
That blanket is absolutely beautiful, if only I could crochet like that,,,😊
Just love how you explain this for beginners. I have been crocheting for years but still like to check am doing it right 😊
Love your tutorials, your voice is calming.. I just like listening to you.
Thank you Fiber! You explained in such great pleasure in this video. I've been admiring this pattern and longtime, and I have decided to give it a try. I started today July 4th, and can't seem to put it down. Very easy now it's going to be another of my favorite. I am using Purple, Blue and White.
❤❤❤
I love your tutorials. You're much easier for me to follow than anyone else's. Can you do the skull 💀 granny square pattern tutorial pleas 🖤
OH MY.!!! ANOTHER TUTORIAL THAT I LOVE SO MUCH I AM ADDICTED TO WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS AND A QUARTER WAY IN MAKING THE KALEIDOSCOPE BLANKET FOR THE WINTER SEASON..DOING IT YOUR WAY..Than my way like Frank Sinstra sings..your way is the best I learn...Thank you so much..
Thank you I had no clue how to make a granny square. I'm going to try this in a scarf.
Beautiful crochet. I just started learning the granny square which my mother taught me, but want to try this. It is fascinating what you can with the Granny stitch.
Wow! I’ve just found your tutorials, they’re brilliant. Love the way you make it fun and easy to follow. Very relaxing voice too. Thank you from over the pond. I’m hooked.xx
I think this is an awesome pattern. I love crocheting along with you. I really like to hear you talk makes it seem as if you're here crocheting with me. Such fun ☺☺ tfs
Same here😍🤗
Elvah Williams I think his voice is so soothing. No disrespect to him, but I sometimes listen to him when I can't sleep. It's not because he's boring, he isn't, but it's because of his voice.
I made a 10-stitch blanket for a LYS contest this spring, and it looks great (of course), but all those stitch markers and working into the edges of the rows of a previous section all the time was such a pain! I like the concept of a log-cabin afghan, and as a big fan of granny-square afghans from way back, a granny-stitch version of a log-cabin afghan sounds easier still. Back to watching your tutorial now . . .
Another awesome video. So easy to follow. I sew in my ends as I go.
Great pattern. Thanks so much. Just finished one in pinks and purples. 5 colors. I put a flower in the center block. 😍
I love this pattern better then any other log cabin pattern I've seen
I just love your tutorials and this pattern
Consider yourself hugged again!!!! You ROCK! I started and almost finished the shawl and was thinking of asking you to make a Log Cabin pattern up for us. (I adore the shawl and how it is working up.) Thank you so much for this new pattern. Now if only my fingers could work faster so I can play with all of your patterns at once. I think I will make this as a stash buster.
Great tutorial!! Thank you!!! I love this pattern. It works up fast and uses up a lot of "scrap" yarn! I don't do the ch-1 between clusters along a row - I find it is too floppy. I go from one cluster directly into the next space for the next cluster along the sides (but do the ch-2 between clusters in the corners).
Love this! It combines two of my favorite things, granny AND log cabin!!
Thank you 🫶 i love the pattern and your instruction
Just want to tell u that I'm happy that i watch this tutorial. You help me a lot. Thank you, wishing u good life 💌
One of my favorites
You helped me alot!!! Figured out how to make my square into a rectangle!!
This is so beautiful and such a unique way of using the granny square stitch. My only question is why you didn't just add the next color as you went as opposed to blocking colors and leaving those corners open to be picked up later?
Thank you for simplifying the granny square
You always amaze me with the way you can come up with these beautiful patterns. Thank you for your wonderful tutorials.
Your awsome, After watching your shawl tutorial, went looking for a blanket version. No where to be found, but you read my mind. Thank you for another excellent tutorial. Love your work but having a full list of wip's , so going to be busy in 2019 :)
Same here!
Thank you so much spider! I was one of the ones that requested this and I’m so grateful you took the time to show me! Love your tutorials! ♥️
The blanket at the end is beautiful!! It’s so funny as you’re moving back for a better look I’m responding, “that’s gorgeous!” You’re saying, “yeah, yeah, yeah!” As if you were talking to me😂
I feel very happy to find you, waiting to get my yarn colors to start this beautiful blanket. I love how you explain, thanks, thanks.
I loved doing this pattern design. I did is with front post stitches.
Hi doing this pattern. Love your colours. Thank you. Love from South Africa.
Made this for a dear friend awhile back. Such a fun and amazing pattern. Love all of your videos!!
How do I know where to start the L shape? Same amount of rows?
Thank you so much for your tutorial! I love how creative you get with your projects, and then on top of that you get so excited about it. Your bubbly attitude and comfortable voice makes me feel like I’m having a crochet day with my sister or friend. Thank you for helping me improve and expand my crochet repertoire!
Going to do this one for my 14 year old grandson is roll tide, Alabama foot ball ☺️♥️
Thank you for your tips I am making the blanket and I like watching your video.....
Made this for my grandson we loved it ❤️
