@@50wipscrochetlife13 Hi, yes, you can keep going and going! So much fun!
I don't know how you do it but you always make things easy to understand. Thank you
🧡 I appreciate this feedback. Thank you so much for watching my videos. 😊🧶🧡
Thank you. Very easy to follow. Can’t wait to get started on my first granny square.👍🏻
How exciting! Have fun! 🤗
Fun to watch. Love how versatile granny squares are. And they can be so modern now with all the new beautiful yarns out there. Thanks Tiffany.😍
I have watched sooo many tutorials on granny squares and I just couldn’t get it…but yours was perfect!! Thank you so much! 🥰
YAY! I'm so glad my tutorial helped you out! Glad you found my channel! 🤗❤️🧶
I have never left a UA-cam comment but I had to tell you this. I have been trying to learn to do the granny square. I've watched so many videos and it never clicked until I saw another video of yours and found my way back to this one. And I learned it in the first try. And to switch colors! Thank you so very much. You have no idea what this means to me! I get trying and never giving up and you made it click immediately! 🎉
I am so happy my video helped make everything click for you!! That was what I was hoping for! Thank you so much for leaving a UA-cam comment on my video and letting me know your experience. 😊❤️🧶
Totally agree, granny squares are a staple of Crochet life. They are easy once folks get the hang of them and oh SOOOO versatile. I see many people make them into sweaters making the old granny new. Little John's Yarn does a nice one. Hope you are well. Chat Soon Sheila
Excellent tutorial! Saved this to my files. I’ve yet to make a blanket using only granny squares, but I have a plan to make one for any future grandchildren. 🥰
This tutorial is so good, I’ve been trying to make a granny square bag for a while but I couldn’t figure out how to make a granny square. Tvis was the first tutorial I could actually follow. I’m a beginner and this was very helpful . Thank you!😊
I know this is old but I appreciate it. My grandmother was always crocheting but only ever taught me how to chain. Now that she's passed and can't show me her techniques, tutorials are the best I got for learning this skill.
U welcome. I started grannt square today- so far so good. Your enthusiasm is contagious. Have a nice weekend.😊
This is great pattern. No slip stitching to get to corner. It looks great. I will say it again you are the greatest and I have learned so much from you. Thanks Tiffany! Keep up the good work.
🥰🥰🥰 I appreciate you immensely Cheryl! Thank you for your kind words. So happy you enjoyed my tutorial! 😊🧡🧶
Thank you for showing the difference between one color and multiples
I love watching your videos
I have been looking for an easy granny square tutorial. Thank you for making this so easy to follow!
Starting to crochet again after 25 years. Your video got me going with a fun granny square. Thanks!
Thanks for the lesson and for the extra lesson on tablet to slow down or speed up video. Who knew. ..... not me lol
Have a beautiful day
I just watched your shrug granny square video then came here. I can't wait to get yarn this weekend to make a shrug like you did!!! Your tutorials are super easy to follow. I taught myself how to crochet by watching videos on yt. You help beginners like me, make beautiful projects!!
VERY GOOD TEACHER. I have crocheted for years and taught others. Your videos are especially helpful because you display pattern directions on the screen as you show what to do.
Thank you so much for your feedback! Getting a compliment from a fellow teacher of the craft is an even higher compliment. Thank you so much for watching and crocheting with me. 😊❤️🧶
I love this video! Thank you
As usual, your videos make the best sense to me. I watched this to remind myself how to start a granny square and yours was the best explanation. Thank you!
Awe! Thank you so much Jen. I'm so happy my videos help you out. 🤗🧶❤️
Thank you for the easy tutorial, Tiffany! Now I know how to crochet the granny squares!
Love this great teacher
Thank you for the tutorial. I hope you and your family are safe and warm down the in TX.
Thanks Tiffany.
Love your videos. Very helpful.
Ohhh my goodness I have always struggled with granny squares but with your tutorial I have nailed it Thankyou so much ❤❤
YAY!!! I'm so glad you were able to nail the granny square!! 😊🧡🧶
Saved, been waiting for a tutorial on granny squares for ages, could also show how to join them and how many you need to make a blanket. Thank you
Hi Meshi! I did plan on making a video on how to join them but I like the idea of also mentioning how many you would need to make a blanket. Thanks! 😊🧡🧶
Thank you.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I love it
So you have the best instructions!
Thank you so much Sandra!! 😊❤️🧶
Decided to make this beautiful throw for a wedding shower gift for this spring! Thank you Tiffany!
I love your videos and your energy! You definitely make it easy to understand. So glad I found you on here. 😊
I'm so glad that my videos are so easy to understand and fun to watch! That's my goal! I'm so glad you found me too! 🤗🧡🧶
Thank you!!!!
I have been trying to make granny squares for years. To my amazement following your video I have made one. Thank You Thank You. How did you make my struggle so easy. 😊
I am so glad my video was able to help you!! Thank you for not giving up. It can be so easy to submit and say "I can't do this". Proud of you. Keep practicing and growing. Excited to see what you do next! 😊❤️🧶
Thanks!
Thank you so much Judy!!! Your Super Thanks means a lot!! 😊🧶❤️
Your so good at this love watching you and I’m Going to try this
Thank you so much Elizabeth! 🥰❤️🧶
thanks for your video I learned well …how about joining a piece of crochet with a top dress at the center
I'm an intermediate learner, the thing I can't figure out with color changing is that with that many color changes, which I would like to do, how do you prevent all of those ends from eventually popping out?! Actually, that makes me refrain from color changing a lot. Thanks, great video!!
Thankyou Tiffany for your excellent tutorials,,
I have made a beautiful cream colour baby blanket in the fagot stitch following your tutorial, such a lovely stitch ..
I also followed your tutorial on blocking granny squares ..
Does it make a big difference if turning your work on each row, which I have been doing .. It looks so much easier the way you are showing here ..
Thankyou so much again.. you are the best ❤
Hi Georgina. Good question. I think if you were to turn your work it might make a slight difference in the finished project. But you could do it. I think the way I showed in this tutorial is much easier. But try both ways and decide for yourself what works best for you. 🤗🧶❤️
Are you gonna have follow up on how to attach? Thank you for teaching me to crochet again. Haven't done it since I was 17.
What's an easy way of finding the last chain three when sl st into it for the final corner or the round? Or a good trick?
Thank you so much for this simple tutorial! I was trying to crochet a different Granny square that was seamless like this one is, but it was just too confusing and complicated for me. I'm somewhere in between absolute beginner and advanced beginner. I say that because I can crochet your aligned puff stitches, but when it comes to something a bit more complicated (to me), I'll try to find a pattern, such as this one, and before I know it, I've learned how to do the Granny square. Thank you again for this tutorial.
I'm so proud of you and your crochet growth! It can all be a lot. Especially when you are just starting and figuring it out. Great job keeping with it and trying new things. 😊🧡🧶
Thank you so much for your help Tiffany! I greatly appreciate it and you. Have a great day!!
Love how simple you make this without having to slip stitch to the next chain space. I am using latte cakes and am wondering what to do when it is time to start a new cake? Do I look at your directions for changing colors or is there another way? Thanks.
Hi Sheila! I’m so glad that you like my tutorial! If you are just adding another skein of yarn I would just use the instructions for one continuous yarn and just join the new skein and keep going. 😁. Hope you have fun!! 😊❤️🧶
Im using the red heart granny square yarn and your pattern,does it natter if some of the color changes are visible in the middle or corner of round?
Hi do you have any videos that show the way you hold the hook and yarn to crochet?
Hi Di! I sure do! Let me direct you to my Getting Started Video! I hope it's helpful for you and fun to watch.

Has anybody used granny square yarn for this pattern?i have and i love it!!!
I'm trying to make me a shrug but my square keeps twisting on me! Will you give me some advice on this? Love your videos! Thanks
Hi Denise! Hmm, it’s hard to answer this question without seeing it. Would you be able to email me a picture of what’s going on so I can better help you? Email: crochetwithTiffanyHansen@gmail.com
hi would you pls share your yarn colors you used here
Hi Sylvia! Oh gosh, I just used some scrap yarn that I thought looked great together. Let me see if I can figure out the names of the yarn.
The Brand for each color was I LOVE THIS YARN from Hobby Lobby.
Colors: White, Graphite, Dark Country Blue, Light Gray
What do we do with the leftover strings on the squares?
Great question! You will weave those in after you are all done with the project. This will create a beautiful and clean look. You might be tempted to crochet over you tails but I don’t recommend that. I use to crochet over my tails, and while it does hold at that time they rarely stay and the tail can often wiggle loose making your work look sloppy. Tails are not the most fun to weave in but it looks so good when you do! 🤗❤️🧶
Question: why put 3 chains at the beginning when using the same color, but put 2 chains at the beginning when changing color? Is there a differnce in the patern or am I just confused.
Hi Kim! There is actually a big difference in how the granny square will be worked up if you are changing colors or if you are keeping the same yarn from row to row. When you finish off the round and chain to get to the next row or round you will see where it starts off and how you can't exactly work any stitches in that corner space. That is why I have you chain 3 which counts as your first Dc + chain 1. I hope this makes sense. 😊🧡🧶
I tried your pattern and a fellow crochetter i know says im doing the startinng corner wrong!! What do you recommend i do!?
It's always challenging when a fellow crocheter shares with you their opinion on what we are doing. There are many different ways to make something. She is probably just use to the way that she learned and has not seen that there are other ways to do it. If you see my finished project, know that the way I am showing you in the video is the exact way that I worked up that finished Granny Square. If you are ok with that then keep going! 😊❤️🧶
I sent you a facebook message with my starting corner
What if your granny square starts to ruffle while you are trying to make a blanket?
Hi Kimberly! Great question! If your blanket starts to ruffle while you are attaching the granny squares add a stitch between the joining granny squares to provide a little extra room for everything to lay flat. That should really help. Thanks for asking! 😊🧶🧡
Why do we leave strings to weave in?
That is a great question. We leave strings to weave in so that we can secure and conceal them properly avoiding them coming out or undone. If you cut your yarn right next to a knot, that knot best be one that can't come undone because after one wash you will find your project falling apart. If you like to crochet OVER your ends, that is a great quick fix but unreliable. When I was a newer crocheter I would simply crochet over my ends, but then I found that my ends would make their way out of the stitches and look like little weeds all over my blanket or project. I even had some people I crocheted gifts for call me in a panic thinking their project was falling apart because after one wash a few of their ends poked out of the blanket. It was embarrassing. Yes, there are situations where crocheting over your ends is fine, such as stuffed animals or anything where you are working an extra tight stitch. But in most cases it is best practice to just weave in your ends (not just underneath the stitches and loops but actually try to poke your yarn needle between yarn threads so that the fibers cling to each other and hold better). I found that the weaving in style that works best for me is to start by weaving in one direction and then double back. I hope this helps answer your question and give you more information than just, because you should. 😊❤️🧶
In the middle of the video when you create a circle thag part is very confusing for me and hard to follow.So if you have any recommendations to fix this problem please tell😊
Thank you for the feedback! It helps a lot! In the beginning you want to form a circle somehow. That could be a Magic Ring, a Chain 2 where you work inside the first chain, Or you could chain 4, slip stitch in the first chain and then work your stitches for round 1 inside the circle you made. I hope this helps! I'll look into making an updated version of this video. 😊
Thank u so so much 💓💗💖 It really helped as I got my first ever crochet kit yesterday only😊😊.I would love to get an updated video😊😊.And by any Chance can u also make a video on how to make an Amigurumi as I wasn't able to understand the steps but i already know ur video will definitely help❤.Your Video was the first video I saw and by the end of the video I was able to make my first project..So thank u so so much please keep making good videos like these and stay warm and happy..❤❤😊😊
Well, I’ve tried half a dozen times and my second round doesn’t look at all like what it’s supposed to! I think I need a much slower tutorial where I can see clearly where each stitch is supposed to go. I’ll come back to your channel when I have a bit more ability!
You can slow down the video speed, maybe that would help?
I love your channel, but the square that's one color is turning into a tornado being the fact you don't turn your work....Why??
Hmm, that’s an interesting situation you’re in Marie. I’m not sure. Would you be able to send me some pictures of what you are looking at? That would help me see what’s going on. Email me at info@crochetwithTiffany.com
I have re done it nearly 20 times and every time I do it it looks different and nothing like this and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong 😢
First I want to say I'm proud of you for not given up. Projects are not always easy when you are first getting started. The best thing someone told ME when I was first getting started is that your first few project won't look perfect. And that's ok. You keep practicing and you get better.
Let's double check you are working with materials that will be easiest to begin with. Try crocheting with a yarn that is a size 4 weight or Medium size and a crochet hook that is a size I/9-5.00mm. These bigger materials will make it easier to loosen your stitches and see that's going on.
Work slowly, Counting is HUGE not only as a beginner but as a seasoned crocheter. Don't give up right away, try pushing through to round 4 or 5 before stopping and assessing. Sometime these granny squares do not take shape until you have worked a few rows.
I also know some people who don't like working granny squares, it's just not the project for them. You could try working a regular square shape using rows if that would work best for now and then come back to granny squares after you have some practice under your belt. 😊❤️🧶
@@CrochetWithTiffany thank you so much I’ll definitely keep trying and trying other things aswell
Why did you skip showing the weaving in? That is my hardest part. Most of my projects end up with loose yarn popping out.
Hi Melanie! I use to show it but then realized so many people weave in their ends differently that I just let people do their own thing. However! I did make a tutorial on different ways you can weave in your ends if you would like to check it out. Play with a couple different ways of doing it until you find the one you like the best! 😊🧡🧶 CLICK HERE: ua-cam.com/video/IX6fkJdBNds/v-deo.html
@@CrochetWithTiffany Thanks for the video suggestion. It truly is the most stressful part of crocheting for me. I am all done my thirteen granny squares and now just need to connect to make my bag. Thanks for the great video.
You talk way too fast for a beginner...please slow down!
I'm sorry about that. If it would help, try slowing down the video. If you go to the video settings that looks like a little gear, click playback speed and slow down the video. I hope this helps! 😊🧶❤️
You go too fast
Hi Celia, sorry about that. Did you know that you actually have the ability to control how fast or slow my video plays? If you click the settings for the video, click Playback Speed, you can actually slow down my video to the speed that works best for you! Give it a try. Works on every video on UA-cam. 😊❤️🧶
you are too fast for beginners
Hi Max. Did you know that YOU have the power to control the speed of my video? It is very challenging as a content creator to meet the speed needs of everyone. However, if you go to the settings of the video and click Playback Speed, you can speed me up or slow me down to whatever speed works best for you. I hope this helps! 😊🧡🧶
Would you slow down you are flying I have no clue what's happening 😡😠 I give up this one is moving way to fast.😩 It's also very confusing I have started and stopped this so many times. It's just to fast.
Hi ohslimgoody, I apologize if my video was going to fast. I first have a question and then I have a cool trick to show you. My question is, did you just start crocheting and have you gone through the basic steps and stitches to crochet? I did reference a video on how to do the Double crochet stitch to watch before hand so that you wouldn’t get frustrated. Gotta start with the basics. The cool trick! On the bottom of the video is a gear ⚙️. If you click on the gear and then click on Playback Speed you can actually slow down the video! Controlling the speed can help you to set it at your own pace. Hope this helps!
