    Surprise surprise! Another maker here to sing your praises. I've always been a big fan of granny squares, but I never thought I would be able to get this technique down. Not only was able to get it down, but this was the most fun I've had seaming together granny squares in my entire life. Major kudos to you. I hope this video never goes away.

And seeing this has forever changed my joins! I'll never join the old way again! Thanks for your time. You are a credit to the crochet community.

    this video is so clear and so well paced!!! im using this method to make my first blanket and i think it’s what i’m gonna use for all my future ones!! it’s so tidy. definitely tricky to figure out how to handle all the squares at first, but i know i’ll get a knack for it. thank you for this!

  • @Mzdiana82

    I’ve made one granny square blanket, and joining the squares didn’t seem that hard at the time, but it turned out to be a NIGHTMARE ! I used the slip stitch method on the entire surface.
    I can’t wait to do another granny square blanket. Maybe a blanket for each of my wonderful grandsons!!! My daughter’s son is 8, he used to watch Mikey from The Crochet Crowd, with me he was about 4-5 yrs old then, and he thought it was cool that a man could Crochet 🧶. We spent many days watching UA-cam Crochet Videos and I was able to hone my skills that I learned from my Grandmother when I was a young. She made every grandchild a granny square blanket and I still have my kids blankets from almost 40 years old from my oldest son!
    My daughter had twin boys and I made several blankets that for them, including each of them have a “Call The Midwife.” I asked my daughter to please hang on to those so maybe they can pass them down to their children later in life so they always have something beautiful to remember me by when I’m gone.
    So Sorry for writing too much but this really made me think good thoughts about having my kids and all the Granny Blankets!!!🥰😊💞🌹🌻🌺

    Robin, thank you so very much. I love your teaching style. I have struggled for years trying to read patterns, what a waste of time. I have finished 2 of your projects and now I'm finally making granny squares. A blanket I've always wanted to do. You are the Best!

      This was exactly WHY I found Robin; just made a zillion blocks during recuperation from surgery (gotta accomplish something ya know--can't just sit!) and hadn't a clue how to join them. So GLAD to have lucked out and seen this tutorial! :)

    Thank you so much for this video! My great Grandma made the most BEAUTIFUL afghans. I didn't get to learn to crochet before she passed and had no clue how she would join her squares as she went. I know this HAS to be how she did it! I can't wait to make my first blanket now! ❤️

      I am making a queen sized granny square afghan. I am afraid that the weight will pull the squares and the jayg won’t be strong enough. Thoughts?

    I’ve got piles of granny squares and, before today, no real knowledge of how to join them and thus finish several projects. I’m thrilled to have this knowledge! I’ve made granny squares as a “take along project” numerous times over the last 30 years, but never known how to join them in a pleasing way. Now, I think I’ve got it. Thank you SO much for an excellent, easy to follow great tutorial that will help me to finish many, many granny square blankets. Well done!
