How To Attach Granny Squares - Method 1 Single Crochet

[Danibluebug]

would using a slip stitch make less of a "groove", and by going around one way then another, rather then one way when doing the granny square would prevent the bowl shape and help all the squares look more similar?

[mikeyssmail]

@Danibluebug if you want to attach the grannies with less of a bump in between the squares then yes the slip stitch would make it appear more smooth ....I have seen some people turn there grannies when they do them....if you like they way that makes the granny look then you can do it that way....cathy@mikeys helpdesk :)

thanks. this is super helpful. you explain everything very well!!!

[ttcalittleangel2007]

do I have to have my individual squares the same colors as the yarn I use to assemble the blanket? U mentioned that if the borders of the squares aren't the same color, then the blanket wont look quite right...I am doing light pale purple for my entire square and then am going to do some squares in a tan color...what should I use for attatching the colors? should I put the tan color around the border of my purple squares so it looks right?

[MsDiRyan]

[anandazen30]

WOW Mikey you are great!! i need to subscribe to your videos but i can't find the subscribtion page, maybe i'm blind!!! :-(

I have been crochetting for years (since i was a teen) and never liked squares, i will give it a try, i don't like attaching them.

I'm your FB fan Aida Luna Montijo.

Thanks Mike

This video has been so helpful to me, as I'm joining granny squares and was stumped as the best way to do it. A long time fan here :)

[mainegirl1985]

All my squares are solid (not the granny square) will these methods work to connect my squares together or is there a different method to do that??? I did my squares in the single rib stitch

[iObootsie]

Thank you!  My mini granny square afghan came out looking great!

[bigwdy27]

Thank you thank you thank you!!!

[GRANTCAT1]

Thank -you this has been been very useful,I have only just started doing granny squares

[edubz1201]

I finished all of my granny squares and last night i went to join them which i thought would be easy and logical so I'd just figure it out...NOT!!! Again...Mikey to the rescue. Can't wait to get home and join my squares using the single crochet method--so pretty!

[Chrissyart]

Did you put right sides together?

[mikeyssmail]

@Chrissyart the easiest way to attach the grannies is to place all your grannies right side up on a table and then pinch the bottom and the top of the squares together and stitch chanel @ mikeys helpdesk :)

I have a knitted egg cosy which says to join in this way, so thanks very much for this tutorial as I did not understand my written instructions in the book I have.

[chowmikki]

It has been many years that I knit or crochet anything. Thank you so much for taking the time to do these very helpful videos. I picked up quite a few helpful techniques that I had forgotten. Thanks again and have a good day. Karin

[lillolly725]

could you crochet together knit squares too? I'm new to this!

[mikeyssmail]

@lillolly725 there are a few ways to join squares....im sure one of the crochet methods would work for joining knitted squares..... or you could use a large needle to join them.........

When you put your hook through the stitches is going between the double crochets or on the top edge?

[missytyrrell1]

I love your videos! I'm pretty new to crochet so I'm avidly watching as many vids as I can. I just love the way you explain things! You really inspire me to have a go at different projects. Thanks.

[spankses]

i really like this method, it gives a fantastic definition to the blocks and the option on the otherside that it looks like one peice.
