How To Crochet The Perfect Granny Square For Beginners
Thus is the way I was taught (1972) to make a granny square. Turning/reversing each round. Even if soild 1 color that way your squares are straighter. I was shocked went almost no one didn't do it.
Almost no one does it because it isn't proper. Grannies are a in-the-round motif, which are not turned. If squares are crooked or out of square it is because either the count or then tension is off and nothing more. ITR motifs have a right side and a wrong side which are easily discernable when worked correctly which will matter a great deal in some patterns
@@stalstonestacy4316 I am making a cardigan with Nuboo yarn and the designer pattern has you cc at end of the round by not closing the round in its color but slipping a new color in and with the new color loop on the hook turn the work then slipknot and chain two, 2dc, then next sp 3dc. My issue is not whether it is proper or not but by not tying off to close row will my work fall apart with this silkie slippery yarn. and yes a lot of cutting and weaving ends. I just assumed that turning every row with the yarn I am using would give the finished garment a nice drape.
If we are using just one color then do we need to cut off at every row and turn? Please reply, much appreciated. TIA
@@patsweety no of course not, that’s only when changing colour
@@eyejs thanks
BRILLIANT!!! I’ve been crocheting for nearly 30 years and had no idea that there was an answer to wonky granny squares. What an easy fix. Thank you so much!!!
That tip about joining with a SC instead of slip stitch is genius!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! 💗 The granny square turns out so much better, no curving on sides and corners.
This is so simple and works great. I've been wondering why all my granny squares all look so off. Thanks so much!
NO ESTOY DE ACUERDO UTILIZAR, SIN NECESIDAD, EL REVÉS. TODOS LOS PUNTOS TIENEN SU DERECHO Y SU REVÉS. LO REPETIRÍA MIL VECES. EN UNA LABOR Q NO SEA UN CUADRILÁTERO O UN CÍRCULO, SI QUE SE ALTERNAN EL REVES CON EL DERECHO, PERO EN ESTA FIGURA COMETEN UN ERROR EN NO SEGUIR POR LA PRIMERA CARA, Q ES EL DERECHO.
Y NO SÉ DE DÓNDE SE HAN SACADO QUE ALTERNANDO LAS DOS CARAS, SALE EL CUADRILÁTERO MEJOR. TOTALMENTE FALSO. LA ÚNICA PREMISA PARA QUE LAS COSAS SALGAN BIÉN, ES HACERLAS BIEN Y DESDE LUEGO Q ESTE VIDEO NO HAY BUENA TÉCNICA DE CROCHET.
UNA SIMPLEZA Y QUÉ GANAS DE COMPLICAR Y COMPLICARSE LA VIDA.
SIGA USTED LA REALIZACIÓN DEL CROCHET TURCO Y ME DARÁ LA RAZÓN.
@@mercedesramosborregoramobo1859 tu puedes hacer lo que quieras pero no ay manera correcta e incorrecta hace lo que se te plasca pero tu opinion es solo tu opinion, no entiendo por que tienes que insultar la tecnica de alguien mas. Madura y recuerda tus modales.
I swear I’ve learned EVERYTHING from your channel! Thanks a lot I really appreciate your teaching skills ur the best! 🙃
This tutorial is amazing! It makes so much sense. Your voice is very soothing, so it's perfect for crocheting at night, too. Thanks!
This video was so helpful! I tried using one before this one and I got confused, this one really did it! I don't think I'm ever going to forget how to do this lol
Thanks for a great video - especially for the ending of round 1 - your method really cleaned up my square.
I'm pretty good at amigurumi and now I wanted to make a granny square pillow and I'm shook how much I suck at this 🙈
But you helped me a lot. Thank you ❤️
I’m the opposite. I make blankets, clothing etc but I tried a little rabbit and I was utterly useless!!!! Haha I totally cannot crochet with a tiny hook for any animal lol x
Thank you this tutorial finally made me make a perfect granny square!!
"That's a bad, bad granny." 🤣
How can I NOT subscribe?!
Love it.
😂😂😂Thanks ❤️
Wow thank you so much for your help and time 💕 like is one . And God bless you and your family always 💕 Thank you 💕💕
First I'm seeing this method....but hey, it works! Blocking also works well but it's time consuming and needs a 'blocking board'.
Thanks ,Sirin, I've done many beautiful projects with you..you're a great designer and tutor!🇯🇲
Beautiful! Thank you!
Thankou for showing us this trick for straight edges😊
Thank you so much for sharing this! ❤️🙏🏻💜
of course when I learned the granny, I did not turn every round. now many many squares later, I made several blankets during covid and I turned my work on every round. Needless to say, it made such a difference in my squares. lesson learned but the instructions that were available to me at that time, did not include row turning. thanks Sirin for your wonderful videos♥ happy crocheting!
Beautiful love the tutorial. Thank you xxx
So clean & neat. Thanks for the techniques 🫶🏾
Fast enough,easy to follow and explained beautifully 👌
Gracias por enseñar el granny más bello y tradicional. Me encanta. Saludos desde Puerto Montt, Chile.
That is so easy and it turns out so nice and flat👍
Thank You My Friend for such great tips😊🙏❤️
Thank you so much,,the pattern is so friendly
Thank you so much for this video! Very simple and easy to follow!! I’m happy I subscribed:)
Thank you for your wonderful videos. Merry Christmas.
I'm so EXCITED! I tried to learn the granny square and I finally learned it! Thank you so much! I love your channel!
It's a pleasure. Thanks Tina ❤💐
Thank you. Merry Christmas 🎅
Thank you so much this is exactly what i needed. Since i have start to crochet my granny has wanted me to teach her so we are going to make a pillow together out of granny squares, and this video is perfect! i will definitely be checking out your video about joining them together
Muchas gracias!!!! Muy Feliz Navidad!!!! 😘🇲🇽
I have been making, household items, clothing, baby items, etc and never learned the granny square. I tried the solid granny square today and it was so unbelieveably wonky! I found ur video u did some of it and tried just turning and reversing it and it actually lays flat and just a lil wavy ( probably from tension or count) . Ty so much !!!! May u recieve all God has for u this year!
Great tutorial! Thank you!
thank you so much for this. this helped me improve my projects
As a beginner in crochet I really appreciate this video.
Wonderful tutorial!!! Will be trying this right now 😊
I really appreciate you teaching us this but I think I will stick to the other way of doing them (not turning them). It's my personal preference not seeing the wrong side, but it's always good to know there is another way of doing things. It may be useful for some projects. Thank you
Recién te descubro y me ha encantado este video.
Excellent!!! The yarn, the brand of hook, etc. are not as important as technique. We tend to get sloppy on granny squares, but there is a beauty in their perfection. Thank you.
It’s a pleasure Patricia 💕💕
Well, I have to totally disagree with you. The crochet hook is important! But, more important is the type and quality of the yarn. You can make a fabulous stitch, but with poor quality yarn the end result is poor.
It is like telling a painter that the important thing is the technique and not the paint and the quality of the brushes ............
Actually it’s all very important ☺️ @@TeacupAndRoses
Thank you for your tutorial, i really Love It ❤️❤️
This is very useful information! Thanks a lot!
You always have the best tutorials!
Thank you 😊
This was very helpful. Thank you!
C'est fou!!!! J'ai bientôt 60 ans et ma grand-mère faisait ces couvertures , comme toutes les vieilles ( pas péjoratif) et voilà des tutoriels pour ces couvertures qui permettaient surtout d'utiliser les reste de laine 😀 comme quoi, ... UA-cam va nous permettre de garder la mémoire de ces anciennes pratiques!
Good info. So the difference is ...turn the work when doing rows.. I do mine the regular way and It doesn't come out crooked. Don't know what I am doing right.
So, you’re probably staying very consistent with you tension. When I first started doing granny’s my tension was always tighter at the start of each group of 3 dc.
@@sherit8594 Well, I think she's giving a good tip. I am neat to knit and yet when I did a project with an '' infinity '' granny, my work was all lopsided on one side. It was a disappointment and I never understood why it happened.
Thanks! I didn't know what made mine do that.
@@ccpippin307 Thanks :)
@@TeacupAndRoses all my granny stitches are equal but they all also SLANT. Nobody has ever been able to figure it out.
I have a fab granny sweater pattern on my list & im going to try this method right now!🤗
You are my favourite crochet tutor online!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you 🧡🧡
Thank you!
Thank you 👏
this is magic omg. thank you!
Thank you so much, I’m a beginner and my work wasn’t coming out clean. You are a blessing.
thank you so much! ill try this right away.
I find the benefit of squares and rounds is that you don't have to turn them. I use to feel ocd about the imperfectness and curves but i think its so cute how it uniforms like the no flip square. I love this works for others but for me it hurts seeing the wrong side, it actually repulsive even though if it actually does look good because it's a muted stitch.
If i didnt know how to crochet or anything id probs love the flip method. A reason I don't like crochet basic scarfs is all that flipping and the wrongness.
you can't use a mental disorder/disability as a way to describe how you feel. what you were describing is that you are a perfectionist. you wanted it to look perfect. you cannot "feel" ocd, but you can live with it and experience it.
Thanks a lot for sharing this. Will share on my fb page and I'll give credits to you. Love 😍😍😍
I am maling something with granny squares so I will try this trick and see how it turns out 😁👍
Ma sha2 Allah

Perfect Sirin thank you 😊Amanda xx💕bad granny 😂😂

I am trully happy! :)
You are very easy to follow. Not only that, You are adorable!
Thank you. You are so sweet ♥
New subscriber. Thank you for making this understandable
Hi Sirin, hope all is well 🙏🏼 Sirin, have you made a tutorial using granny square rectangle throw blanket? I’d like some help getting it started - (to place on end of bed) Thank you💕💃🏻
I just followed this tutorial and made my second granny square. I started learning crocheting only 4 days ago and I feel so proud of myself for crocheting a perfect granny square. Thanks so much! Your videos deserve more appreciation 🥺♥️🙏🏼
Thank you, Sirin for an up close and personal tutorial.
Hi I love ur videos! I eland literally everything from u! Lol. I love how smooth your yarn is. What kind of yarn is this?
🤩💞🌹 l love crochet!
This was really useful, thank you! 💚
My new favourite channel 🥰
Thank you 😊
Hi 👋 I am sangita from India very nice tutorial 👌. Your voice is very nice like to hear 👂👌
Sizin gibi Türk kanalları bulunca çok seviniyorum teşekkür ederim🥰 Karantina zamanı hazır lisem boş geçiyor diye tığa başladım çok eğitici bir video olmuş kolay gelsin✌🏻
I love your tutorial! Can you please tell me which side is the front side?
Very good. Thank you. Do you find that the ends stay tucked in even after a long time and some washes? I think maybe has to have a knot or it will come out. Am I being afraid for no reason?
No, you’re not being afraid for no reason. In this video, the tails are not being left long enough for proper weaving. I usually weave in one direction, then go back in the other direction and then back again the other way. That way, if the finished work is pulled from either side the tail should never come lose. :)
@@sherit8594 2 things NEVER happen to me; my crochet never comes apart and my buttons (the ones i sew on) never come off.
Lots of loops and lots of knots!😉
Is it possible to get this granny square pattern in printed form? Love it!
Thank you so much for this tutorial . It’s so easy and I finally got my granny squares right . Thank you 😊
Also if it's not perfect u can also use a blocking board or just a piece of cardboard with 4 pins
👍
Beautiful! Is your husband doing better? I just learned my father is in the hospital with CoVid.
I hope he has recovered?,,, my Dad also got Covid with his wife too. They’re both thankfully recovered now xx
Very nice work. What if I wanted to work with one color?
Can't you still just turn the square after each time around?
Just use one colour nd turn your work at the end of each round
Great tutorial! Thank you! It would help if you'd mention the size of the hook as well. and I'm just saying this because I didn't hear it.😅
it's very nice work but I can't really get what you did differentlee in the second square to make it look better than the first one
Her yeni bir sirada diger yuzunu cevirerek baslamak degil mi isin sirri? Ben tiga yeni merak saldim ve bu deseni sizin sayenizde cok guzel yaptim, harika oldu. Cok tesekkurler 🌸🧿
Evet ☺️Çok basit bir ayrıntı, ama bayağı fark ediyor. Ellerinize sağlık ❤️👏
What kind of yarn are you using? Thank you
what is the thinkness of the yarn? is it the same as the hook
Bisakah anda menampilkan rajutan untuk sajaddah ? Saya ingin membuatnya terima kasih
It would be better to use thicker yarn and a larger hook for demos. Watchers need to see what you're doing.
I wish I'd watched this video before I'd finished my 80 granny square blanket 🤣🤣
I am unclear as to what you did differently in the sample? Was it how you did the corners? Thanks for your help.
She turns, instead of continuing on the same side. It's the same granny pattern, just flip it after each row. Hope that helps.
Thanks for your help.
Do you find it easier as to use a small hook or large one as a beginner ?
Not to small not too large Michelle. 4,5 or 4 mm hooks are good for beginners I think.
Sirin's Crochet Thank You 🙏 I’ve been trying all 6mm and bigger sizes. My yarn keeps splitting and getting caught on the hook. I’m going to try again with a 5mm. 😊
Awesome. Thank You so much.
@@mamachez65 this is old but i hope you have mastered your craft by now. I was going to suggest that the brand of hook you use is important. I crocheted many years only noticing that, for SOME reason, the Susan Bates worked much better than Boye. Then came YT and Amazon and, wow, so many brands of hooks.
Arthritis and misaligned fingers in old age sent me looking for soft, light, ergonomic hooks and i found LITEs, wh worked well, until I found Tulip Etimo Rose. They are ergonomic and light but the hooks fly through all sorts of yarn wo incidents. They are ridiculously expensive $10-$15 ea but a deal on a whole set and well worth every penny! You will end up w one set you use for all your projects instead of a drawer full of misc hooks.
Good luck and happy hooking!🤗
GC Durnin ty so much. I have purchased better hooks and it has made a world of difference for me.
After trial and error I have gone with The Tulip And The Clover Amore.
I love the tulips in smaller sizes and the Clover for anything 6mm and larger. I love the tulip hooks with the gold shaft. I do have 2 of the tulips in the Rose Color 5.0 and 5.5mm. They are NOT the same as the gold ones as advertised. I just finished a crib size blanket using the 5.5mm tulip in rose. That was my 4th blanket I’ve made since I started crocheting 🧶 nearly a year ago.
I’ve used different hooks and yarn on each of them. After trial and error I’ve been able to figure out what works best for Me at this point.
I appreciate so many of you who have reached out to me with advice on yarn, hooks and using stitch markers etc
This whole YT World has blown my mind in general. You can find ANYTHING ON HERE. It’s crazy.
So I’ve learned to crochet, plant a vegetable garden, a cut flower garden 🪴 and how to make some authentic Mexican food 🌮🌯 down home country gravy and fried chicken 🍗
It’s amazing 🤩
How to make sweater by using these squares
how do you do this if you’re using the same yarn and don’t need to cut it? i find it ends up starting you on the wrong side of the corner
When you “hide” the new colour yarn, I always knot it. Surely in the wash the blanket could fall to pieces? 😳😳😳
How do you make the “wrong” granny square
Just keep working in spiral fashion with the right-side always facing you. That's the traditional method and certainly not "wrong", but some people find that their square comes out a bit warped/biased. The sides can appear undulated rather than straight.
The method here in this video has you changing direction for each round so the square comes out more balanced as you're not continuously going in one direction and potentially creating a bias in your crochet fabric.
Personally, I don't have this problem, and blocking can help eliminate a lot of issues, but it's good to know this tip incase you have to work with yarn that aggravate tension issues.
Is it possible to not flip the square evey row and still get a perfect square?
Not perfect but you can have good looking squares. You can see this way, please check out my lastest granny square (and triangle) video
so you don’t have to turning /reversing around or what
Spread some love, trash the scorn
How do you know what side is the right or wrong side? I always get confused
The amount of times I have attempted this and failed is shocking. I can read Japanese, rebuild car motors, and sew my own dresses but I cannot crochet a humble granny square.
But what happens if I only use one color ?
You can still turn your work. Instead of joining with 3 chains you can make 1 ch and and join with a hdc. Idk if it make sense 🙈 with this way you can turn and directly start in the middle of the corner.
It’s really hard for me to see at the beginning the yarnis too light
So what’s the secret lol I am confused is it just chaining 1 in between stitches?
it's to turn over your project between each row (it's not the usual way of doing it and it helps to make it less crooked)
