Crochet Geek - Crochet SunRise Granny Square

[mamabear10]

Thank for the slow motion shots! Call me prejudiced, but crochet is downright beautiful in slowmo. Very nice variation of the solid granny square. I'll have to give it a whirl soon.

[tjw1963]

@mamabear10 I am thrilled you like the slow motion, thank you.

[Knittin66]

I like to learn how to make a doily with pineapple. Do you think you will be able to make one ? Love the way you make your videos so easy to comprehend.Thanks in advance.

[littlelove75]

when i made the sunrise granny square someone told me it wasnt a granny square and that i should double crochet 3 times and then chain 2 then double crochet 3 more times in the corner does that mean i done the square wrong

[mbertolo1980]

Please slow down hard to follow sometimes.

[tjw1963]

@mbertolo1980 I do slow down a lot more in current tutorials.

[littlelove75]

did you have a video on whip stiching a flower on granny square

[rashmihalasangi]

hi teresa... this is rashmi from india... i love ur tutorials...thanks for posting them ... i have been trying to learn to crochet for years now ... but ur tutorials have made it a thousand times easier for me ....

[tjw1963]

@rashmihalasangi Hello Rashmi, I hope you are doing well in India! I wish you much continued success with crochet.

[96Tiara]

Thanks a lot!!!!!!!

[tjw1963]

@96Tiara You are welcome!

[mobradovic00]

@tjw1963 first of all,Great video I am going to try that soon.

But is there a way to expand the square so you can put it on a chair to make it warmer ?

[tjw1963]

@mobradovic00 You can continue to work rounds of double crochet to make it larger or you can make several squares and sew them together.

[mobradovic00]

@tjw1963 My grandma did that :)

Thanks for the advice!

By the way,I'm a guy and I crochet.My friends think it's weird but I enjoy it...

What do you think?

[tjw1963]

@mobradovic00 20-25% of the viewers on my videos are male so there are quite a few men that crochet. It is normal for men to crochet and take an interest in it.

[lovingGodiserve]

[ledrama]

[sakinaburhan]

hey ..Teresa...can we do with thread ...I mean to say without the wool....can it be possible

[tjw1963]

@sakinaburhan Yes, you can work this up with thread. The square will be a lot smaller

[Kaiseih]

I should be doing stuff too but get HOOKED! watching your videos. I save them to favorites so I can go back. I just made a beautiful bow scarf using your stitch instructions. Thanks so much.

[Bufurzone]

Hi teresa, I hope you're well....what's granny square used for?

[tjw1963]

@Bufurzone It is used for making a blanket or embellishing.

[Bufurzone]

@tjw1963 Got it,thanks!

[BlazinRedxDragon]

Teresa, could you message me and help me understand why my Granny squares keeping turning out as granny circles instead ??

[littlelove75]

i really like this granny square I going to try it on another afghan that i make it will be very pretty

[tjw1963]

You may be missing some increase stitches in the corners.

[saif0102]

I made two crochet granny squares and then fixed them together like a purse with an extra Strip and a loop for the top and I used the combination of green and yellow

[Knittin66]

Can yoy show how to make a CALLA LILY FLOWER please?THANK U :)

[Iloveart777]

do you think you can make a video with granny squares on purses ?? :))

[Itarisita]

i love it, ill try it

[Dix994]

this is getting out of hand. I really have studying to do....but here I am watching your videos....I cant wait to try this one. I only knew how to make traditional granny squares, but all those holes make th blankets more drafty than I like ...this is what I need to do.

[tjw1963]

The videos will still be here when you are done studying. I went to college back in 2001 as a non traditional student so I understand the limited time. I sent you a playlist with a lot of granny squares to choose from.

[natasjja99]

I wish to make this as a continous squre could you give some pointers

[tjw1963]

Instead of joining, you will crochet right in to the top of the stitch that you would be joining with. Continue crocheting and increasing from there.

[VETTEBAD]

Hi tjw, I'm wondering in a ripple afghan, are the 2dc in 2st, are they supposed to be lined up all the way down the blanket? I mean are they supposed to be on top of each other all the way down?

[tjw1963]

The increases and decreases should be aligned with each other or it will not look right.

[fconde100]

hi thanks for alla the videos your great at crocheting but do you have any videos where you show how to crochet a bathing suit

thanks

[tjw1963]

I have a bikini top if that is something you are interested in.

[fconde100]

yes i think that might work for me

but wat about the bottom part

[noussnik]

what is the point of joing in the round?

when should i do it and when should i not

[tjw1963]

When you want all your colors and shapes to be the same, you will join. Some crochet pieces can be thought of as a kaleidoscope. If you don't join, your colors and shapes will be off. Hats are a different story. When you are working with 1 color on a hat, you can work in a continual round. I make a lot of lace. You join the round when making lace. Most rounds are joined.

[noussnik]

u noe how u chain 2 to go through the corners?

what happens if u only chain 1 or none in that part

[tjw1963]

Sometimes the squares will still work if you miss a chain. The purpose of adding extra fullness in the corners of a square is so it will lay flat.

[dezerrae]

wow. that was WAY tooooooooo fast!!!

[niemabuggy]

see, but you can pause and rewind as much as you want. she also states that it's just like the traditional for the first few.

[MH1416]

thats wonderful i`ve been practicing grany sqrs for ages but i find your tutorials extreamly helpul, i am an expirt in two days, god bless you!

[tjw1963]

Thank you very much. I appreciate comment.

[Jaisha26]

i didnt find this very helpful. i now its meant for peoplewho can crochet very well...but i think you could have slowe down and explained it a bit better. pretty yarn.

[boygirltwinsrock]

Teresa,

I have heard of "never ending" granny square where you keep going crocheting one granny square until you reach your desired blanket length. Could I do this with this pattern?

Thanks so much...

[tjw1963]

You could give it a try.

[zrednekgirl]

for some reason, I am not getting the same finished product as you after the second round...I'm giving this a third go around..and maybe it will improve.

[tjw1963]

Keep practicing and it will eventually make sense.

[ashandcharlotte]

That's beautiful! I'm inspired! :-) Thanks for posting these tutorials. I tried to learn to crochet for years without any luck but you've made it so easy! Thank you! :-)

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[RiverDragon788]

would you happen to have a video for hiding your yarn in granny squares? I've been having a bit of trouble with that

[tjw1963]

I will send you the link.

[montrealstars60]

This is really a beautiful motif, are you using wool or thick cotton? Looks like good quality.

[tjw1963]

Thank you, I am using acrylic yarn.

[amjlia]

wonderful..
