Finding your channel a year ago has helped my depression and anxiety. I am so happy I found you Anja. I love Sunday evenings when you go live. I live on my own but Sundays I feel that I have lots of crochet friends. Thank you so much Angela
I have made 30 squares so far for one of the two blankets I am gifting to my 4yr old grand nieces for Christmas. I can see why Anna loved making these squares. They are so easy to pick up and work on if you just want to crochet something fun and easy.
Anna was my mother's name. My younger daughter has Anna as her confirmation name in honor of my mother. So the name Anna is very special to me. Thank you for sharing your grandmother's legacy with us. And thank you for another lovely and meaningful video.
Hola Anna, desde GRANADA España, sigo tus vídeos y me encanta. Eres una gran maestra como lo fue tu abuela. Acabo de terminar la manta Legacy y he disfrutado mucho haciendo los cuadrados de diferentes colores. Ha quedado preciosa gracias a ti. He seguido todo el tutorial punto por punto y el resultado es una gran manta para regalarla a mi nieta Astrid de cinco años. Un abrazo y felicidades por tu enseñanza de punto crochet. Rosa Mª Torres.
Hi Rosa, thank you so much for your kind words, I'm so glad you were able to follow my instructions to make the squares and the end blanket. Happy crocheting, Anja x
Love this idea! Got my yarn pack in the muted colors and oh so gorgeous. Got my box and decorated it with peel and stick wallpaper. Pretty orchids, passionflowers, butterflies, and dragonflies. Going to make my first square today. Still working on the back border of my Greenway blanket but using it with delight already. I crochet slowly but that's the way I like it and that's what I find relaxing. Looking forward to this November legacy CAL. Thank you Anja ❤
Your Readers Shawl showed up in my UA-cam and I’m so happy it did! Down the rabbit hole I went and found your Duckpond, now Anna’s legacy-so lovely. Lots of stash in this house, three blocks complete and planning to do the crochet every day cal. Thank you for sharing such a lovely pattern and your grandmother’s legacy.❤🧶❤
Hi Anya, Watching some of your older videos. What a beautiful square as well as the completed blanket. Thank you for this tutorial. Can’t wait to try it. As soon as I complete Agatha’s reading shawl. 🧶🫂
Oh thank you! Hope you enjoy watching them and being a part of my community. If you are on Facebook have you joined the Facebook group? facebook.com/groups/389613388330327 Anja x
THANK YOU DO MUCH FOR DEMONSTRATING THIS MEANINGFUL CHROCHED SQUARE, ANNA'S SQUARE. I AM SURE IT IS ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE SQUARES TO MAKE, BEING THAT IT WAS YOUR GRANDMOTHER'S SPECIAL PATTERN!❤
These squares are very simple and quick to make. Your finished blanket is beautiful with all of the lovely colors you chose. Thank you for sharing this pattern. 💜🙏🏻
I have already made some of these squares and they are so enjoyable to make on a winter’s evening in front of the TV. They soon mount up and are a wonderful way of using up all our scraps and not having to worry about colour matching. 😊
I love that no matter how complicated we make things for ourselves, slowing down and simplicity is so rewarding. I love English paper piecing with fabric, and have been looking for a portable yarn project, this is lovely. It all has to fit in my hand bag! If each square only weighs 15 gms, I probably have enough now for a life time!😂 Thankyou Anja, I love your company, thankyou x
Hi Anja, Anna holds a special place in my heart since that is also my first and only grand daughters name... Anna. I will always LOVE that name, now that you said your grandmother's name is Anna, and that you are naming your granny square the Anna Square, it truly is a Legacy and one that I truly LOVE more than you will ever know! Thanks for all you do!
Thank you for your beautiful tutorials! I'm working on the Reading Shawl, and also the rectangular Grandma clusters. My grandma made many doilies with thread....crochet. She created the pattern while she counted the stitches. Aren't we fortunate to have had such loving and talented grandmas! God bless your good work! Linda from the U.S.A.
I’m about to start crochet Karen ripple shell carnival blanket for a friend but couldn’t resist starting this Anna square for my legacy blanket, it’s so easy to remember and relaxing way to just crochet, and forget everything else..thank you Anya for passing on this lovely legacy to us.x
Such a lovely and very special idea to honour your Grandma by renaming the square Anja. I started some of these last ‘crochet everyday in November’ 2022, time to start again. 🤭 bless. Michelle 🇦🇺
Thank you for this easy, but beautiful pattern. I am really enjoying it. The different rows help keep the RSI away and I am finding my tension gets more and more even as I progress, and thankfully not so tight! Also I keep thinking of your Nana/Grandma whilst I am crocheting her creation. 😊
Will this video contain the unique new(?) border in bright purple that is in the beginning of this tutorial? I found the boxes motif interesting in it (about 1:35) .... or send me elsewhere to find it
It's 10 pm here and I had been waiting for this video since morning❤ I started two days ago and have made 3 already and the fourth one is on my hook . So relaxing. Thank you Anja !
Dankjewel voor de video Anja. Wat een heerlijk mindful werkje. Ik ben halverwege mijn allereerste Anna square en nu weet ik al, dit is verslavend! En er zijn ontelbare kleuren combinaties te maken, ik weet nu al waar ik van ga dromen. 😵💫 Dit werkje pak je even snel op, onder de koffie tijdens het koken of gewoon bij de tv. Mijn legacy box ben ik nog aan het beplakken en nog maar drie rijtjes haken en ik ontmoet Mr. Poirot. Ben helemaal gelukkig! ❤❤❤
I'm looking forward to making the Anna squares, I decorated my box today ready for them and sorted my yarn out from my stash ☺️ Thank You Anja for such a lovely project 💜
I have been looking for this pattern forever! My grandma crocheted placemats for my mom and dad when the got married. My mom never did get the pattern. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!!
How wonderful-another beautiful square. This one as well as the Harbor square work up so quickly. Once you understand the pattern you can make oodles at a sitting. Before you know it you’ve got enough for a blanket. I love the Continuous Join method. Thank you once again Anja for more inspiration. Headed to the stash for my Anna square blanket.
Thankyou for sharing,I love the stitch so much,can't wait to start mine. I've been making babies blankets,bonnets and booties sets for my great grandchildren something to leave them when I'm gone.
Oh dear Anja. Thank you so much. I will do so.. Now I know what to do with "left over" yarns.. I am excited to start Anna's squares.. God bless your grandma. ❤❤❤❤
This is my favourite squer! I already gave one as a gift to one baby and now I want to do one big blanket for me and my husbant.Thanks for the reminder,Anja♥
I'm doing this one next. I'm making a granny square now with pink black and silvers for my car. Then I will do this one using scrap balls in bold colors. I've wanted to do this for a long time. I want two car blankets so perfect. I think it's touching to rename it after your grandma. Oh yes stars will be in silver glitter.
Finishing up my box & started my squares with some of my stash yarn but plan on getting the yarn packs also to make squares for different blankets. Love this idea!!! Thank you Anja. 😊
Thank you so much for this fun and relaxing November Cal🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉I greatly appreciate this beautiful, motivational and inspiring crochet project 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for sharing your talents! These squares are so lovely and versatile. I am using aran weight yarn scraps and making a scarf. Looking forward to your next design!
I got behind but I’m back at it .. I am going to do one for each year of her life and see what it comes out to be. I am working on the Agatha shawl trying to get it done before I fly to Arizona for Hanukkah.
Hello Anja, this stitch is wonderful. When I watched you doing it I thought would be complicated to remember it but when I started doing it I realized it’s actually very simple and addictive to make. If I want to make a big blanket with this square but a continuous one not divided in smaller squares( I think I saw these in your grandmother’s stack) , what the beginning stitch count should be? Thank you, Anja, you’re amazing!
I'm off to Dorset jn a few days and I'll have a ball of SSDK and a hook with me. It's an eight hour journey, so although I don't expect to be crocheting for the whole 8 hours, I AM envisiging a pile of several squares by the time I get off the train jn Bournemouth. Or I might just be asleep for most of the journey! 🤣
Thank you for sharing your Legacy. I love this square and I will get started immediately so I can make this my legacy as well.. I’m wondering what fabric of yarn you are using for this square. It looks like cotton . ???
Anja, l made the Duck Pond 2 years ago! (I've yet to connect them....😢!) Afterward, l then used the stitches to make a large square, an actual baby blanket! Thanks! Jan
Hi from South Africa 🇿🇦 Anja, lovely pattern. Gentle therapy. Do you by any chance have a diagram for this pattern? I always find them so easy to follow.
Hi Leerobs, I don't have a diagram, but, there will soon be a paid pattern that has some nice pictures you might be able to draw one of your own! Thank you, Anja x
Yes of course you can Jane, but I'd make sure you continue to use the same weight for all squares, or keep separate boxes for the different sizes! Thank you, Anja x
J'aime vraiment beaucoup ce square, merci de le partager Est-ce que vous voulez bien nous faire un rapide tuto pour nous montrer comment vous réalisez la petite "fleur " intérieure ? Merci à vous 🩷
Hi Kathy, this video is the pattern! If you open the description box you will see timestamps which will help you find where to start. Thank you, Anja x
Love this ❤. I would be interested to know how much yarn is needed to make 1 square. How many squares can be made from 1 x 100g ball 🧶? It’s a great stash buster 🙂
I've made enough for a blanket but would really like to join them in a diamond pattern but would need triangle half squares. Not sure if this would work?
I absolutely love this square but I can't seem to get it right. The first box row comes out correctly but I somehow flub up the rest. Also I find that my square is too large - more like 8 by 9 inches. Is there a way to make the squares smaller (what multiple can you use)? I'm sa loppy crocheter so unfortunately my holes don't always line up but that is my own fault. I really do love this pattern, I just wish I was a better crafter! Thank you so much for sharing it! Can I use a worsted weight yarn instead of DK?
Is there a chart for this pattern? It’s just that if I have to put the project aside for maybe a few months while I’m doing other things it’s much easier to get back to it if I can glance at a chart rather than having to scroll through a video. I also forget things like number of chains in the foundation and with a chart all the numbers are right there. Of course if necessary I’m willing to write the pattern by going through the video again, but if there’s a chart I won’t have to do that. 😃😃😃
@@OpheliaTalks Thank you Anja for your swift reply. I was thinking I was just stupid in not being able to find it. I’ve just turned 74 so I can expect the stupidity, though I’m still in school so I’m trying to keep the brain ticking over. 😃😃😃 What I will do is go through the video and write the pattern. This way I can leave it and come back to it later and it will be easy to see where I am. Actually I did start a square a couple of weeks ago, but I was using a fat #4 yarn and it was too clunky for my taste. Something using a 3.5 or 4mm hook will work better for me, I think. I do have a stash of DK, in many colours, so that’s where I’ll start.
.muito agradável a forma de explicar. ❤ Tive vontade de perguntar qual o número da agulha e o tipo de fio. Fiquei constrangida .Eu comecei com a de 3.50cm e um fio que me pareceu semelhante.Ainda não ganhei desembaraço, sou idosa e lenra. Estou tentando. Para mim foi difícil coseguir o contato.. obrigada.
Hello Elen is it, thank you for getting in touch, please don't worry, I don't bite x I'm using a DK/3 weight yarn 100% acrylic, and I use a 3.5mm hook, I find this gives me a material I really like. Please comment again if you have any further questions, all the best, Anja x
I love these squares! Could you give me a starting chain count for making them three boxes wide please? I’d like to make them three wide by three high. Thank you x
Don't worry Jane, there is going to be a video coming out that gives guidelines for different sizings etc, just enjoy the journey for now! Thank you, Anja x
Reading the comments I can tell that I’m the ONLY ONE having problems with this square. The only way that the square looks good is if it’s crocheted neatly and I guess my tension is not stable because my boxes do not align perfectly right. They look messy and sloppy. I’m not going to give up but I’m frustrated. I am using a 3.5 hook but the work does not look neat.
Dont worry😊Your squares will get better and once they are joined any little bits that concern you now will even up...just my thoughts🎉 relax and enjoy😊
Hi Antonio, yes, like Ellen says, once your squares are joined together they will all be ok, the more you crochet the better you will get, try and relax and enjoy the process. Anja x
Hi I think Anja is using DK in this video and that it might feel like the first one you make will take a year but if you keep making them you will get into the Rhythm and time will pass more quickly with each one after
Hi Value1lady, as Sarah has said, l used DK yarn, I'm unclear as to if you mean one square in the repeat or the entire square!! It won't take you that long I'm sure! Enjoy your crochet time, Anja x
@@OpheliaTalks no for the whole blanket. How many squares does it require to make a blanket? I’m sure it will take me a while to make how ever many is needed for a blanket is what I’m saying and them having to sew them together. Lol!
@@OpheliaTalkshow many squares does it take to make the blanket? Can I use aran yarn or does it have to be dk and if i can use aran what size hook needed this is so pretty. How long does it take to finish one square? What r the measurements of the square?
Hello , Anna . I don't know how to assemble the squares and how to crochet the border . Could you , please , help me with these two matters ? Thank you so much .🌹
Please do not despair Maria, there will be videos coming to show you both how to join and border, for the moment I just want you to enjoy the making of the squares, in your own time, nice and peaceful. Thank you, Anja x
Thank you , Anja . Pardon for having made a mistake about your name . I love your lessons and have made several projects of yours . This Legacy Blanket is lovely . Thanks again and have a nice weekend. 🌹🌹🌹
Don't worry Claire, there is going to be a video coming out that gives guidelines for different sizings etc, just enjoy the journey for now! Thank you, Anja x

Thank you so much Kathy! Glad you like it, Anja x
This will be perfect for me as I’m going in for total hip replacement tomorrow. While I’m laid up I can work on this beautiful Anna pattern.
Oh my Jazz, good luck with the operation, I hope you recover quickly, but not too quick, or you wont have time to crochet, lol. Thank you, Anja x
Enjoyed making my square along with you as always. Wonderful video and project..love my Anna Square!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed your first square, now onto the rest! Have fun, Anja x

Wonderful Tiggy! I'm sure your sister would have been so happy with it. Thank you, Anja x
I got behind but I’m back at it .. I am going to do one for each year of her life and see what it comes out to be. I am working on the Agatha shawl trying to get it done before I fly to Arizona for Hanukkah.
Still at it .. :) done a second shawl and back to my squares
I love it. ❤❤❤
Thank you very much Marion, Anja x
Lovely squares! Will there be a video showing how you join them into a blanket?
Yes, soon Cindy, and a border too! Thank you, Anja x
I am on square 4 today and it is looking great.
Great Chloe, well done, keep it up! Thank you, Anja x
Hello Anja, this stitch is wonderful. When I watched you doing it I thought would be complicated to remember it but when I started doing it I realized it’s actually very simple and addictive to make.
If I want to make a big blanket with this square but a continuous one not divided in smaller squares( I think I saw these in your grandmother’s stack) , what the beginning stitch count should be?
Thank you, Anja, you’re amazing!
Patience doinad6383, there will be a video coming out soon that gives you information on making the squares bigger etc, thank you, Anja x
I like your patterns. Nice calm colors❤
Glad you like them Donna! Thank you very much, Anja x
I love it. Thank you Anja
Thank you so very much Loes, Anja x
Gorgeous! Now I want to make one! Thank you! ♥️
That's the whole idea Nancy, and once you've made one, you'll be itching to make more!! Enjoy and thank you, Anja x
Very beautiful square Anja. I’m thinking, until I make so many squares that I know the pattern by heart, a diagram pattern might help😊. Thank you
That's a good idea doinad6383, why not jot it down as you're making it, then you can refer back to it! Thanks, Anja x
I'm off to Dorset jn a few days and I'll have a ball of SSDK and a hook with me. It's an eight hour journey, so although I don't expect to be crocheting for the whole 8 hours, I AM envisiging a pile of several squares by the time I get off the train jn Bournemouth. Or I might just be asleep for most of the journey! 🤣
Sleep is good to Beth, do what is good for you. Thank you Anja x
Thank you for sharing your Legacy. I love this square and I will get started immediately so I can make this my legacy as well.. I’m wondering what fabric of yarn you are using for this square. It looks like cotton . ???
You are so welcome Gloria! No, I'm using Stylecraft Special DK it's 100% acrylic. Thank you, Anja x
Anja, l made the Duck Pond 2 years ago! (I've yet to connect them....😢!) Afterward, l then used the stitches to make a large square, an
actual baby blanket! Thanks! Jan
I really don't like joining squares together either. I like the idea of just making this pattern in one big square(or rectangle)
Great Jan, maybe this project will spur you on to finish the other one! You can do it, Anja x
These are very nice. Would be attractive as a jacket...maybe you could create a pattern? Enjoying your channel
Maybe one day Nancy! You never know what I have up my sleeve! Thank you, Anja x
This is such a good idea….. I’m going to do it!
Thank you Marion, good to have you aboard, Anja x
Thankyou so much Anja
The squares are beautiful..
Are they easy to join together and what stitch do you recommend..
God bless 🌺🤍
Hello Geena, I'm bringing out a joining video soon, also a border one, so hang on if you need some advice! Thank you, Anja x
Que linda história, obrigada!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Silvia, l hope you enjoy making the squares, Anja x
Hi from South Africa 🇿🇦 Anja, lovely pattern. Gentle therapy. Do you by any chance have a diagram for this pattern? I always find them so easy to follow.
Hi Leerobs, I don't have a diagram, but, there will soon be a paid pattern that has some nice pictures you might be able to draw one of your own! Thank you, Anja x
I love this square❤
I have the pattern memorized!
Can you please, pretty please give the multiple. Want to. Customize sizing
Thank you😇
There will be sizing guidelines in a future video, patience my friend Linda, thank you, Anja x
Thanks from Brazil🙏
Hi Leila, thank you for joining in, have fun, Anja x
❤
This is Antonio again, I wrote the frustrated message. I wonder if I should use a 3.0 hook
Can one use different weight yarn? And Thank you for this beautiful tutorial! I have so much scrap lol 😅(do I really though!?) hahaha
Yes of course you can Jane, but I'd make sure you continue to use the same weight for all squares, or keep separate boxes for the different sizes! Thank you, Anja x
J'aime vraiment beaucoup ce square, merci de le partager
Est-ce que vous voulez bien nous faire un rapide tuto pour nous montrer comment vous réalisez la petite "fleur " intérieure ?
Merci à vous 🩷
Thank you very much kouliplilouise2151, there will be more tutorials to follow, Anja x
Hello I love your blanket I’m having a hard time finding the pattern can you please help me thank you
Hi Kathy, this video is the pattern! If you open the description box you will see timestamps which will help you find where to start. Thank you, Anja x
HABE HEUTE MIT MEINER ANNA DECKE BEGONNEN😊
Well done Alexandra, I hope you enjoy it, and all the crochet time it gives you, thank you, Anja x
I’ve just made my first square! I am using the drops safran cotton
Great Aleksandra, well done, thank you for joining in, Anja x
@@OpheliaTalks ❤️
Muito bom.❤
elencoelhowanderleybuscaci9717, thank you so very much, glad you like it, Anja x
Love this ❤. I would be interested to know how much yarn is needed to make 1 square. How many squares can be made from 1 x 100g ball 🧶? It’s a great stash buster 🙂
100g makes 5 and there is yarn left, not sure if it would be enough for a 6th!
I do tell you in the video how much each square weighs Angela!! Thank you for joining in, Anja x
@@sandraouaguena3292 thank you 🙂
جميل جدا ورائع ،🌻🌻❤️❤️
Thank you so much Crochet-around-the-world, Anja x
I've made enough for a blanket but would really like to join them in a diamond pattern but would need triangle half squares. Not sure if this would work?
I've not done triangles in this stitch pattern!! Good luck, thank you, Anja x
I absolutely love this square but I can't seem to get it right. The first box row comes out correctly but I somehow flub up the rest. Also I find that my square is too large - more like 8 by 9 inches. Is there a way to make the squares smaller (what multiple can you use)? I'm sa loppy crocheter so unfortunately my holes don't always line up but that is my own fault. I really do love this pattern, I just wish I was a better crafter! Thank you so much for sharing it! Can I use a worsted weight yarn instead of DK?
You can use any weight of yarn, keep trying, everything comes with practice….Anja x
Is there a chart for this pattern? It’s just that if I have to put the project aside for maybe a few months while I’m doing other things it’s much easier to get back to it if I can glance at a chart rather than having to scroll through a video. I also forget things like number of chains in the foundation and with a chart all the numbers are right there. Of course if necessary I’m willing to write the pattern by going through the video again, but if there’s a chart I won’t have to do that. 😃😃😃
Hi John, no, sorry there's no chart for this square, thank you though, Anja x
@@OpheliaTalks Thank you Anja for your swift reply. I was thinking I was just stupid in not being able to find it. I’ve just turned 74 so I can expect the stupidity, though I’m still in school so I’m trying to keep the brain ticking over. 😃😃😃
What I will do is go through the video and write the pattern. This way I can leave it and come back to it later and it will be easy to see where I am. Actually I did start a square a couple of weeks ago, but I was using a fat #4 yarn and it was too clunky for my taste. Something using a 3.5 or 4mm hook will work better for me, I think. I do have a stash of DK, in many colours, so that’s where I’ll start.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
.muito agradável a forma de explicar. ❤ Tive vontade de perguntar qual o número da agulha e o tipo de fio. Fiquei constrangida .Eu comecei com a de 3.50cm e um fio que me pareceu semelhante.Ainda não ganhei desembaraço, sou idosa e lenra. Estou tentando. Para mim foi difícil coseguir o contato.. obrigada.
Hello Elen is it, thank you for getting in touch, please don't worry, I don't bite x
I'm using a DK/3 weight yarn 100% acrylic, and I use a 3.5mm hook, I find this gives me a material I really like.
Please comment again if you have any further questions, all the best, Anja x
I love these squares!
Could you give me a starting chain count for making them three boxes wide please?
I’d like to make them three wide by three high.
Thank you x
I am playing around making it 3 x 3 as well. I used 29 chains and made 13 boxes instead of the perscribed 17. Such fun!
Don't worry Jane, there is going to be a video coming out that gives guidelines for different sizings etc, just enjoy the journey for now! Thank you, Anja x
Reading the comments I can tell that I’m the ONLY ONE having problems with this square. The only way that the square looks good is if it’s crocheted neatly and I guess my tension is not stable because my boxes do not align perfectly right.
They look messy and sloppy. I’m not going to give up but I’m frustrated. I am using a 3.5 hook but the work does not look neat.
Dont worry😊Your squares will get better and once they are joined any little bits that concern you now will even up...just my thoughts🎉 relax and enjoy😊
Hi Antonio, yes, like Ellen says, once your squares are joined together they will all be ok, the more you crochet the better you will get, try and relax and enjoy the process. Anja x
Anja is this Aran yarn? How many rows in one square? I love this but I an sure it will take me a year to finish!
Hi I think Anja is using DK in this video and that it might feel like the first one you make will take a year but if you keep making them you will get into the Rhythm and time will pass more quickly with each one after
@@sarahspicer1964 how many does it take?! Lol! Im not a blanket making person do not like making blankets maybe making the squares i will enjoy. Lol!
Hi Value1lady, as Sarah has said, l used DK yarn, I'm unclear as to if you mean one square in the repeat or the entire square!! It won't take you that long I'm sure! Enjoy your crochet time, Anja x
@@OpheliaTalks no for the whole blanket. How many squares does it require to make a blanket? I’m sure it will take me a while to make how ever many is needed for a blanket is what I’m saying and them having to sew them together. Lol!
@@OpheliaTalkshow many squares does it take to make the blanket? Can I use aran yarn or does it have to be dk and if i can use aran what size hook needed this is so pretty. How long does it take to finish one square? What r the measurements of the square?
Hello , Anna . I don't know how to assemble the squares and how to crochet the border . Could you , please , help me with these two matters ? Thank you so much .🌹
Please do not despair Maria, there will be videos coming to show you both how to join and border, for the moment I just want you to enjoy the making of the squares, in your own time, nice and peaceful. Thank you, Anja x
Thank you , Anja . Pardon for having made a mistake about your name . I love your lessons and have made several projects of yours . This Legacy Blanket is lovely . Thanks again and have a nice weekend. 🌹🌹🌹
Could you just extend this and make it into one big blanket?
Don't worry Claire, there is going to be a video coming out that gives guidelines for different sizings etc, just enjoy the journey for now! Thank you, Anja x
