@Imarandomgurl1 Please share a video response of your giant granny square when you are finished. I also have a facebook page where you can share an image.
Im 13 now and I've been crocheting for 2 years. I didn't do much back then exept an extremely long chain :P But your videos helped me soo much over this time and I have already made a granny square blanket, a beanie hat, a bag, and many other things. I even know more than my grandma! (x It helps me get my mind off of things that worry me too much :D Thank you thank you thank you sooo much Teresa!!
Hola!!! Me podría recomendar algún tutorial en el que enseñen a hacer el cambio de color en donde queda un triangulo del cuadrito de un color y el otro de otro color?? Gracias.
Best granny square instructions ever! I watched a few others and mine came out as a circle, or a rolled up square. After watching this video, it actually looks like a square!!!
I was just wondering what size hook you're using? And I love allll your videos. Without them I would never have been able to re-learn how to crochet ;) thanks so much
@RollRightOver You join the last round together. That is by inserting your hook through the top of the first stitch, wrap the yarn over your hook, pull it through the stitch and the loop on your hook. Cut the yarn, pull it through and then give it a tug. Then you sew in the tail.
Teresa, I must thank you for teaching me more than I've ever learned on my own. I took a project I learned from you to our county fair and I won a purple ribbon. Thanks from a happy fan, and please keep posting, your a great teacher.
@pudbopoo11 When you are beginner, you will reduce your frustration by learning the beginning crochet stitches first before trying out a project. There is a pause and rewind on the video player
wow I never knew there were so many variations of granny squares! Your instructions are so easy to follow! is there any way you can please send me a playlist of each different crochet , like single, double , half double , and so forth...thank you so much for putting these videos out there for everyone!
Thank you so much! This was exactly what I was looking for. You explained it perfectly and made it easy. I kept trying to follow this pattern I have and it made no sense at all. I could do yours without even looking at the stupid pattern now. Thanks again. I can't wait to see your other videos.
Is it me, or is knitting so much easier than crochet? I've been looking at video tutorials and reading tutorials all over and follow them as exactly as i can, and not once have i been able to get the granny square right!! I'm at my wit's end with crochet.
Thanks for your videos. Even though I am the beginner I got the granny square perfectly. One quick question for you what is the kind of yarn you are using? Please give me the reply. Thank you.
Hi, your crochet videos are excellent! I've never crocheted before but watched your loopy flower square tutorial 2 days ago and made a complete square the following day... It looked fab. I was wondering if maybe you could do a tutorial with the loopy flower on this traditional square? Many thanks Ashley
Words fail me to describe how EASY you have made crocheting for me Teresa!!! I knew how to crotchet just never how to start.... I now know what i am doing and feel confident to try some more beautiful crocheting videos you have uploaded!!
No matter how many times I try to do this pattern it NEVER turns out right. I'm very comfortable with SC and DC, chain stitches, etc. It either comes out as a circle with huge holes or a lop-sided square. Very frustrating :-(
I've made two afghans for family but they both came out lopsided, what am i doing wrong?? Your videos are very helpful but I just don't know what I'm doing so wrong.. Please help
@amsantana86 A lopsided square may have to do with missing corner increase stitches. Possibly missing a set of stitches on the side, which will make one side smaller than the others.
@cody1800212 Just keep in mind that there are many different techniques with crochet so you can pick and choose what works best for you. I appreciate the comment!
I get SOOOO confused when patterns say "slip stitch to beginning chain 3" or something like that, I can NEVER see a space to slip stitch in....I tried putting a marker on it so when I finished I would know which chain in chain 3 but I still can't see a space to put the hook in....
Can somebody please help me? It's so hard to make anything when you have difficulty with such a simple step!
@OboeLady86 It is going to depend on what you are making. There are a lot of variations to create unique designs. In some circumstances, it is preference on what technique you like best.
I just bought a book to get back into crocheting. The granny square was listed as easy, but I just couldn't follow along with the directions. Thank you so much for this video...now that I understand your direction better than the book, I'm off to Michael's to purchase more yarn...!!! :)

The problem I have with this video is the problem I have always had every time someone tries to teach me to crochet: They just stick their needle in here and there without explaining what they're aiming for. As far as I can tell in this video, when you're going through stitches to pick up the yarn and bring it through after the first "double crochet" you're just randomly shoving the crochet hook in some place. A little more explanation and detail would be extremely helpful.

Thank you! I made these as a child with my grandmother, but it slipped my mind....it came right back...I like how I could crochet the square with you..it was just like crocheting with her again. I'm on my way to some cool projects!
Okay, so can you just keep going and make a neverending granny square, like if I was just going to make a blanket, or do you have to make a bunch of the 5 rounded ones and stitch them together?
Thank you. A friend spent time with me yesterday after Christmas Dinner teaching me the Granny Square pattern. Your tutorial was a perfect follow up for the next morning!
I just attempted to do the granny square and it looks like a circle, I've redone it about 5 times and am still getting the same result. Any ideas what i might be doing wrong?
@Smoocherz The corners are 3 double crochet, chain 2, 3 double crochet in the same space. If you you look below the video, you will find the link to the written instructions.
Thank you! I am totally crocheting all kinds of hats, scarves, and flowers because of you. You are a great teacher. I am just finishing up my first granny square afghan. I used your slip stitch joining technique between squares and am finishing up the border as we speak. Thank you for posting such great and helpful videos.
Thanks, your videos are very good. I am a beginner and I tried this granny square with very good results. Not as pretty though. I think I need to make them less tight, I am practising.
@ralizpo With the granny square, there are increases in each corner. It is possible that you have missed some increase stitches or the chains may be to tight. I do have the written and symbol instructions posted on my crochet blog. The symbol diagram will help you with stitch placement. The link is in the video details below the video.
I absolutly adore your videos!!!!! I have a question though, I would like to do a large square as a blanket but instead of changing colours in the round could they be changed in a way so it looks like four triangles together? I realise this will be hard for the center but i was thinking of about round 2?? your view on this would be greatly valued!!!!
Hi, Teresa: I've watched several of your vids and credit you and your instruction with helping me being a crocheter! I do have a question. I plan to make an afghan out of one traditional granny square. You stick to one color, do you have recommendations how to switch the colors? I've read about and have seen different variations, wonder what you recommend. Thanks so much!
@wig4usc If you go to my main channel, you will find a playlist with granny squares made in a variety of colors, changing colors. I prefer to slip stitch to attach, and then work a chain for the step if the first stitch is a double crochet.
this video was a big help, thanks very much, i was taught to do basic crocheting in school but ony long chains im glad to have another skill, im going to make a big patchwork blanket out of granny squares for my bed when im not at work! thanks again!!
@tjw1963 I guess you could say its wavy and full. Maybe Im not explaining it correctly. All I know is that when Im done the corners don't meet perfectly. But have u made a blanket from a granny square?
@missmorgan04 If the edges are not even, I am wondering if some stitches have been missed somewhere. You may want to count each side to make sure it is even.
thank you soooo much for your videos!!!!! I'm left handed and used your left hand versions to learn. now a few months on I can read and copy from a right hand pattern!!!!! I've made baby hats, toddler hats and a few of the Kingston hats ( for me and a few friends!) and have now gone on to complete 3 Blankets!!!!! all with frills and flowers from your videos!!!!! My four kids thinks it's brilliant.Thank u,Thank u,Thank u!!!!!!!
@BigMommaGLC Hey, I just found ur solution I think. I got it confused at first too. What happens is, when you get to those corners u do three times double crochet right? Well u actually do more: you do three times a double crochet, then chain two, THEN three times double crochet in the SAME hole. thats what makes the corners! Or at least that's what I understood. Check out 8:36 - 8:50. Good luck!
@qtlivinhappy The link to the written instructions is posted below the video. You will find a symbol chart, which should help with the stitch placement.

i'm kind of confused, cause my great grandma showed me a totally different way. She made 2 or 3 blankets out 130 of these squares. i'm going to need practice.
Thank you so much for this tutorial Teresa, YOu are truly a very good teacher.
Please could you help me with a pattern for doing a Crochet Square measuring 8 Inches.
the pattern I am doing just now is: 34 ch, Dc in 3rd ch fm hook and dc across. turn ch1 and then dc across to measure up to 8". which is taking forever. also I am struggling to keep the square in its shape. what am i doing wrong? especially towards the end when I have to turn do I slip stich or do a Dc ? thanks for your help.
YOU ARE SOOOO COOL TERESA !!!! You have taught me crocheting through several of your vids and yours are BY FAR the most easiest to follow with very clear, slow and in a weird way patient instructions, lol.. Thanks So Much!!
Made my first square yesterday, had to watch it again to remember how to make another one, but I'm getting the hang of it. Love the idea of making a whole blanket just by continuing the rounds...might just do that.

Dear Teresa, Thank you for this very clear instruction! I live in the Netherlands where we use slightly different terms but I was perfectly able to follow your example, thank you!! Tirza
Thank you so much for posting this! A friend taught me how to do this exact granny square and I couldn't remember how for the life of me! Now I'm making granny squares with ease!
I have just completed my first granny square thanks to you Teresa, I am so proud of myself as I just could not have done it without your help, your the best. Thank you so much, Mary Spicer.
Teresa, I really appreciate your effort in putting up all these videos. I am a beginner and I saw this really cute pattern in one of the sites. But I am not able to understand the pattern. I know this is little too much to ask for but if you could put up a video I dont have words to express how grateful i will be...
The woma who would have tought me this sadly died when I was 15, and at 15 you dont listen as you know everything then dont you? lol thank you fro reviving my old musty thoughts so I can go back and do some good old traditional home steading
I recently started to crochet.. wow it's so much faster than knitting!
I have watched several of your videos and have made so many things already - Your videos are the best and I like your techniques the best! I just want to say thank you so much for all I have learned from you! On my way to putting together my granny square blanket :)
I am with everyone here, thank you so much !! I'm going to make some very cool things now. You go slow enough to understand and that helped me so much. Blessings. Lisa Catherine

Thank you! I am totally crocheting all kinds of hats, scarves, and flowers because of you. You are a great teacher. I am just finishing up my first granny square afghan. I used your slip stitch joining technique between squares and am finishing up the border as we speak. Thank you for posting such great and helpful videos.

Thanks, your videos are very good. I am a beginner and I tried this granny square with very good results. Not as pretty though. I think I need to make them less tight, I am practising.

Whenever I try this, the edges really curl and it turns into a granny bowl more than a square - what am I doing wrong?
ralizpo 1 year ago
@ralizpo With the granny square, there are increases in each corner. It is possible that you have missed some increase stitches or the chains may be to tight. I do have the written and symbol instructions posted on my crochet blog. The symbol diagram will help you with stitch placement. The link is in the video details below the video.

I absolutly adore your videos!!!!! I have a question though, I would like to do a large square as a blanket but instead of changing colours in the round could they be changed in a way so it looks like four triangles together? I realise this will be hard for the center but i was thinking of about round 2?? your view on this would be greatly valued!!!!

Hi, Teresa: I've watched several of your vids and credit you and your instruction with helping me being a crocheter! I do have a question. I plan to make an afghan out of one traditional granny square. You stick to one color, do you have recommendations how to switch the colors? I've read about and have seen different variations, wonder what you recommend. Thanks so much!
wig4usc 1 year ago
@wig4usc If you go to my main channel, you will find a playlist with granny squares made in a variety of colors, changing colors. I prefer to slip stitch to attach, and then work a chain for the step if the first stitch is a double crochet.

Hi. I am making a baby blanket from a granny square but as it gets larger the blanket starts to pucker. Am I doing something wrong?
missmorgan04 1 year ago
@missmorgan04 As in getting wavy and full? I am not understanding what you mean by puckering? Where is it puckering?
tjw1963 1 year ago
@tjw1963 I guess you could say its wavy and full. Maybe Im not explaining it correctly. All I know is that when Im done the corners don't meet perfectly. But have u made a blanket from a granny square?
missmorgan04 1 year ago
@missmorgan04 If the edges are not even, I am wondering if some stitches have been missed somewhere. You may want to count each side to make sure it is even.
tjw1963 1 year ago

thank you soooo much for your videos!!!!! I'm left handed and used your left hand versions to learn. now a few months on I can read and copy from a right hand pattern!!!!! I've made baby hats, toddler hats and a few of the Kingston hats ( for me and a few friends!) and have now gone on to complete 3 Blankets!!!!! all with frills and flowers from your videos!!!!! My four kids thinks it's brilliant.Thank u,Thank u,Thank u!!!!!!!

BigMommaGLC 1 year ago
@BigMommaGLC Hey, I just found ur solution I think. I got it confused at first too. What happens is, when you get to those corners u do three times double crochet right? Well u actually do more: you do three times a double crochet, then chain two, THEN three times double crochet in the SAME hole. thats what makes the corners! Or at least that's what I understood. Check out 8:36 - 8:50. Good luck!

Made my first square yesterday, had to watch it again to remember how to make another one, but I'm getting the hang of it. Love the idea of making a whole blanket just by continuing the rounds...might just do that.
