Crochet Geek - Sun Beam Crochet Granny Square

[TheiLoVeHuMaNs]

Didn't know how to crochet a second ago, but now i think i got it, thanks for the slow-mow hand action, it gave me an idea of what to do.

Theresa, this will be put on the "list" of many projects for me. Love it!

[33Muslimah]

why do you "pull up" the yarn? Like for round 2, after chaining one, you "pulled up" the yarn and then began crocheting.....

Thanks!

[tjw1963]

@33Muslimah I use the chain 1 and pull up only as the step up to the next round. The reason I do this is because I like to work full stitches instead of the chain 3. The chain will leave holes and gaps, so I prefer working the full stitch.

@tjw1963 oooh ok! That makes sense...Thanks Teresa!

You are awesome! I have made 2 hats, 5 scarves and now I want to make an afghan. Your voice is calming and you make things look easy. By the way how do I connect all my squares together and can I make different squares and attach them together? I mean can I make different looking squares and attach them? I see you have all different ones and they are all amazing. Can't choose!!!! I never thought I would love crocheting and now I am hooked! I am totally addicted and covered in yarn! :)

[tjw1963]

Thank you for the comment. I have a couple videos showing how to connect squares. I even have a random square afghan that I put together. It will put you in the mind of the granny afghan on the couch of the show Roseanne. The one I did has a variety of squares that were around 6 inches. Not all were exactly 6 inches. I tried to keep the squares around 6 inches with in 1/2 an inch either direction. They will fit. I will send you links for joining squares.

I was thinking of using a yarn thats thicker for the bram part of the yearn. Would that look bad? I was thinking it would make it stand out more...

[tjw1963]

That sounds like an interesting idea. I suggest that you try it. Please post a picture on my facebook page when you are finished.

[all4one1fourall]

That was AWESOME to watch. LOVE IT!

[Keo1998]

I was wondering if i was to continue snd make an afagan, would it work? because you cand do that with most square i assume.

[tjw1963]

I have not made it any larger so I don't know. You would be able to continue with a basic square.

[TheJulieRyan]

if i were to work this pattern with two strands held together (four colors altogether) , what size hook would you suggest? it doesnt matter to me what the finished size of the square would be.

[tjw1963]

Maybe an L,M or N size hook.

[cassandrajade]

Do you have this pattern in a left hand tutorial??

[tjw1963]

I'm sorry, I do not.

[vero3138]

[tjw1963]

[xxsweetxbabexx]

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[ami4ever98]

What Yarn are you using? Red Heart? Can you give a little details about that?

Really like this Granny Square... Would love to make more different types of granny squares. Thanks !

[tjw1963]

I used 4-ply yarn. You can find 4-ply with any of the different yarn companies.

[scottishrosette]

Your videos are wonderful! :) I'm a birth mother, and I really want to make baby blankets for my twin girls. Would connecting granny squares to make an afghan work well for that? If so, do you have a tutorial on how to connect granny squares? Thank you so much!

[tjw1963]

I sent you a video link on how to put squares together.

[roxas818]

What could you use granny squares for?

[tjw1963]

You can sew them together and make an afghan.

[sadiakak]
