Omg life changing. I am a new knitter this has opened up a new idea for me and all my small balls of yarn. Can't wait to try this.
Yay! That makes me happy 🥰
Boy do I have the stash to do this, can't wait to go give it a go😯 Thanks for sharing 💕
Have fun!
I love this, it looks like a patchwork quilt. TY.
Lovely...!!! Just lovely...!!! Thank you for teaching all of us... It was simple and sweet...!!!
I am so thankful you created this video. Thank you thank you thank you 💕🧶
It’s a pleasure! 😀
I have made 3 mitred square blankets, and I always have that jog. Also other people say to pickup the stitches in the bump, I like your way a lot better. Thanks for the instructions!
Thank you! 🥰
thank you for this tutorial it took me several times to watch to understand but once you understand those four ways of each square and how there casted on it makes sense
I was struggling to pick up from bumps, sometimes having to 'lose' 3-4 extra stitches. And my blanket edges had dimples at each join! So I was very relieved to find your video and a perfect solution. Thank you so much. Now it's a pleasure to knit my squares.
You explain things so well. Thank you x
Thank you! X
Thank you for this very clear tutorial. I found it six weeks ago and have since made a 10x8 mitered square throw!
🥰🥰
I always wanted to know how to do this - and now I do. Your teaching is so very clear and being from the USA I love your voice.
Thank you! Happy Knitting! 🥰
Lovely! I'm learning how to make the mitered squares. When I get the hang of that, I Shall be doing this!!🧶

That’s brilliant!
Thank you for doing this video. You make it very easy to understand ❤
Thank you! 🧶🧶

A great tutorial……very well explained…thank you….
Glad it was helpful! 🧶😀

Gracias a tu explicación y tu trabajo para mi es muy fácil de hacer el jersey tejido con cuadrados que he visto en una foto que me encanta, eres la mejor 💖 👍🏻 😊
Great tutorial. Thank you
You are welcome!
Best jayg video! 😊 I understand now!
Great tutorial, extremely helpful. Thank you.
Thank you so much. This video was so very helpful.❤
Brilliantly done I actually understood I nearly gave up on the idea of a blanket because I could not understand the other tutorials I can now start thank you ❤
Thank you so much! Happy knitting and I hope this time the blanket is born! 🧶😀
@@SnufflebeanYarn well nearly finished my fourth square I really cannot figure out where I go next up or sideways can you help please - thank you
@mary-anneburt6411 hi! You can go either up or sideways, the key is to make a new “L” shaped gap to work another infill square into. Hope that helps
I have watched several videos for this technique but this is the neatest finish, my knitted cast on is a bit loopy but I’m going to do an I-cord edge so that will get covered but I think I might use a backwards loop cast on for the left edge square. That just depends on individual knitters I guess! Thank you for your videos ❤
It definitely does depend! I know lots of people who use the cable cast on but o just can’t get on with it 😀
Absolute fantastic video so easy to follow you are a gem
Thank you so much! 🥰
So clear , and helpful , thank you!
You’re welcome! Happy Knitting 🧶😀
Thank you very helpful!

It’s a pleasure :)
This is such a great video. Thanks so much. Will i be able to knit moss stitch or only garter stitch. Thanks again.
Hi Hun, I love how you joined the mitered squares !! 😊😂❤
I just got done watching your tutorial on how to knit mitered
squares. And I wanted to learn how to knit them together. Again Hun, your very good and and clear on your intentions. You are a blessing and a beautiful teacher 😊😇🙏✝️⛪️🕊✨️💕
Thank you for a very informative tutorial. I am trying to destash and this is a brilliant way to do it. I have watched several tutorials on mitred square and I think your square is great because its neat and tidy.
I haven't looked yet but I hope you have more tutorials. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you for the lovely feedback 🥰
Marie : look up Log Cabin Blanket on UA-cam, another way to use up your odd bits of wool !!
I will have a log cabin tutorial going live a week on Saturday 🥳
I have just found you and love your clear descriptions. Perfect. After you have done four of the squares how do you carry on, is there a chart to see which square you start next, or maybe by then it is obvious... eeek
It’s simpler than you think, just add them in the same was as before, you add a square to the right or top, that creates the “L” shaped gap to work an infill square
@Snufflebean Yarn ah yes, thanks. This is the perfect pick it up type of knitting I like.
Just started watching Harvey which looks wonder. What a great find you are. Thank you.
Great video & nice clear instructions, As I knit with my yarn in my right hand I take it the mitred shaping will still work out?
Yes most definitely, it’s the stitches worked rather than the way you work them that matters :)
@@SnufflebeanYarn thank you
Thank you for this video, your teaching is so pleasantly and clearly done! Please tell me what size needle you are using in your video? Thank you 😊💖🇺🇸
I’m using 4mm needles and DK weight yarn (which is a bit like 3 weight American yarn)
@@SnufflebeanYarn thank you
Thank you!! Do you ever weave in your ends as you go or after each square?
Not always, I tend to do a few squares at a time. 😀🧶
Can we knit borders on the mitered square too for making blankets? Or will it look nice without borders? Please suggest. I liked the video very much. Thanks for sharing valuable information
It will look nice without a border, I have a video for an icord border coming soon that will be perfect!
@@SnufflebeanYarn Thanks for prompt reply. I am going to make this soon. I am really impressed by the way you teach. You are very patient and creative. 😍
Thank you 🥰
Viele Grüße aus Bremen. Finde das Muster für eine Wolldecke super . Werde ich nacharbeiten . Nur schade das es auf Englisch ist ich kann kein Englisch und verstehe nicht alles. Aber ich habe große Lust auf das Muster 😘🧶
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi I am doing one blanket with 63 stitches so can I do the some join & were to join on with stitche
I’m not entirely sure what you mean?
Quick sanity check, when you join to the right hand side, your cast on tail will be on the right hand side when it’s a decrease row instead of a knit row like it would be if you were making a single square? Xx
It’s been so long since I knitted one of these id need to double check!
@@SnufflebeanYarn 💕
Do you have right side facing or wrong side of work when picking up stitches and cast on only as as pattern j am using by doing wrong side Row would make my squares 1 row short on other squares please can someone help me
Hi! You would have your right side facing you when you pick up your stitches so that the ridges from the join are on the wrong side of your work. Hope that helps. 😊
This was very helpful information. Thank you for the video. Could you please explain what order the squares would be worked if you were to keep going to make a blanket?
Could you also maybe do I video on how you hold the yarn in your left hand? I can’t seem to figure it out.
Hi!
So when I make a blanket I generall work by adding squares to create a staircase effect and then add in the squares that join on both sides - so after the four squares you see here, i'd add one to the side of the left one, one to the top of the pink one, and then fill in the two two-side spaces created. rinse and repeat. does that make sense?
With regards to holding the yarn - I use a method called continental knitting, I found it easier to pick up as a crocheter .
@@SnufflebeanYarn You say you'd add one to the side of the left one. Do you mean the blue?
Yes
Not very clear, you say you add one to the side of the left one- which left one, which colour do you mean?
Please after I got the 4 squares how can continue adding ? Repiting the pattern since square One ? Thanks 🙏
Yes you’d repeat the pattern using squares 2,3 & 4.
I’ve now mastered the four squares. How and where do you start a fifth?
You continue adding squares using the methods I showed in the first three - so one to the side of the left square and then you can work a square to fill in the L shaped gap it creates. Then you’d add a square on top of the pink square and then fill in the gap. So on and so forth.
@@SnufflebeanYarn thanks, I’ve followed your instructions and all is proceeding well. You get better with practice and it does grow on you! Thank you ☺️
Hello there, it's Marie again. I watched your tutorial yesterday and decided that today is the day to start, all full of confidence while you are here but not after you left, actually you were with all day today. I have knitted the 4 squares like you did but I am now stuck. Am I right to think that you must pick up the stitches from the rows that were knitted and not cast on or cast off edges? I have knit and tinked most squares and I think now I'm on the right track, depending on your answer. Sorry for being thick.
Yes that’s correct, so if you imagine the 4 squares I have, you would pick up stitches along the bottom edge of the pink square and then cast on, and then with the red square you would cast on stitches and then pick up stitches along its right hand side. Does that help?
@@SnufflebeanYarn XXX thank you so much for getting back to me. Take care.
@@SnufflebeanYarn Do you mean the top edge of the pink square as the bottom is attached to the blue?
Why is my ridge on the wrong side on my third square? My short yarn end is in the right which is the knit row.
Without seeing a photo I’d struggle to work out exactly what’s gone wrong but you’ve probably picked up your stitches on the wrong side
👍❤❤
Could this be done in a 3x3 patch to create a Sudoku style blanket?
Black border around each 3x3 with 9 colors in each row, column, and 3x3 patch?
I don’t see why not?
So you only pick up 2 bars on the first stitch then all the others are one bar?
Yes correct, it may not work that way for everyone but I just find it gives me a slightly more secure Join on the first stitch. 🙂
I think it would be helpful if you broke down the steps more in subsequent squares as you did in the first square.
Noted 🙂
I cast on by basically knitting the stitches on to my left needle, I cannot figure out how to pick up the stitches because it's like your video is back to front and upside down! I'm fairly new to knitting, just got a few hats and a scarf under my belt, nailed down doing the squares themselves, how do I do this when I cast on differently? Help! 😣 😂
Ok so I’m guessing you’re using the knitted cast on, once you’ve cast on half your stitches, you’ll move your needle from your left to right hand and then pick up stitches like me.
Hi I’m left handed so do I still have to join them the same order or not thank you Gloria
You would join them on the opposite side, a mirror image of how I join
That means for me would be on the cast on side thank you for your prompt reply Gloria
I’m not a left handed knitter (despite being left handed) so I struggle to visualise how it would be laid out - you would always need to join on the non cast on sides of the squares.
Thank you for your help I will make it to work Gloria
Stupid question, when you are done with the four squares, how and where do you continue with your blanket?
You would add in the same was as the original squares - so add another to the right of the red square, then infill the L shaped gap it creates, then you could add one to the top left square in the same way you did with the second square you joined.
Спасибо за МК но мне не понятно как вы вывязываете среднюю линию!

I think it would be helpful with the third square to actually put your row marker in and break down the steps a bit. Please could you redo this video because some of us are not as adept as others?
I have had no trouble with the first second and fourth squares. The third one is defeating me because the ridge is always on the wrong side. Thank you.
Are you picking up the stitches first and then adding cast on stitches second?
@@SnufflebeanYarn thanks for responding. The confusion arose because I was expecting the short end of my yarn to be always the knit row. The rule of thumb is the decrease is always on the right side so the ridge is formed . The first video (blue square) is very clear I think with the subsequent squares not so much because for example you tell us you’ll put the row marker in but don’t actually do it.
Sorry for being knit-picking- forgive the pun!- but little things like that do help.
Otherwise, a great tutorial. Thanks very much.
its se cool What a pity not. understand
Too bad it’s not crocheted

I’m sorry you feel that way, perhaps if you were reading the auto translated subtitles then it mistranslated? This video is on how to join the squares, I have a separate one that shows how to make the actual square which forms the basis of this method.
