I followed along with you & I have joined 3 squares so far.I will continue more tomorrow. Thank you very much for sharing ..You are a wonderful teacher & very much appreciated by me! :)

[bobwilson123]

@nsefton thanks for watching :)

[royaltiesmom]

This is completely different than the other way's I've seen to join. I love it. I'm fairly new at this and working on my first big project and I love the way this looks. Thank you! (I'm sure I'll be watching again and again and again.)

[Elizren]

lovely video! tfs

[cheriestaples1]

HI, Love your video. I seem to do my granny squares slightly different though in that I chain 1 in between each group of three trebles and I chain 2 at the corners. Does this mean that I would just adapt your method and still do my chain 1 and then slip stitch into the top square? (I hope I make sense as I am new to crochet)

[bobwilson123]

@cheriestaples1 hi ! yes if you do a chain 1 i would try that when you join and then slip and then do the chain 2 in the corner...maybe just teswt it out on 1 or 2 sqaures and see if t site right. then ajust it if it doest ...if its really tight then add the chains in if its all loose and ruffled then take them out ...hope this helps :)

[phoenixfreefall]

I'm very glad this join gives a more uniform look on both sides than single crochet, and I'd been looking for something that could give me a windowpane effect as well so this is perfect! Thanks so much, I'll have to check out your other videos.

[bobwilson123]

@phoenixfreefall Glad you like the video :O)

[aries2750]

I got it now! Thank you so much for this tutorial. l was joining them by stitching the squares but joining them this way is much easier. Thank you.

[bobwilson123]

@aries2750 hi, thanks for watching !

[1sttimecrochet457]

Once I learned this method of joining it became very simple. I like this method much more than the single crochet join. Thanks so much.

[bobwilson123]

@1sttimecrochet457 Thanks for watching !

[deblawless]

This video is amazing. I have been trying to find someone who joins granny squares like my mother did on her afghans. Thank you so much ! The final look is beautiful with no ridges!!

[bobwilson123]

@deblawless Im glad that you that you found the video! I like this way of joining also

[beryljoyce1]

Very good and easy to follow . I have always had problems joining squares Thank you

[bobwilson123]

@beryljoyce1 thanks for watching !

[66MichelleW]

Hi. This video is great. I just have one question. The squares I have for the blanket are edged with double crochet, no chains or trebles. Should all of the work I do to crochet around and join the squares mimic those stitches? Thanks so much. Michelle

[bobwilson123]

@66MichelleW Hi Michelle, Yes i would use this joining method if you have already got Dc around it...I would Single crochet or sew them ones together :)

Happy Crochet !

[Mina7405]

[bobwilson123]

@lildevilious thank you for your feedback. I am glad that you liked it. Happy crochet !

[1crochet]

Thanks for the tutorial, it has been very helpful to me. Your tutorials are very clear, thanks for taking the time to make them.

[bobwilson123]

@1crochet Tthank you for your wonderful feedback. It makes me happy that people enjoy my video's. I myself when i first started to crochet couln't understand how to read a pattern and could only learn by someone showing me

Happy Crochet to you !

[SLH1020]

Thank you so very much for taking the time to post this lesson and share your knowledge. Your instructions are very easy to follow. I made a beautiful granny square afghan for my daughter and used your method for joining. Now I'm working on one for my mother-in-law for Christmas and had to come back for a refresher course. ;) Thanks again. I think my next project will be your string market tote!

[bobwilson123]

@SLH1020 Thankyou, i am so glad that you liked the video. I haven't used this joining method for a while and i will have to take my own refresher too !!!! Happy Crochet !

[13141508si]

wow!!! this was awasome!!! i don't speak to many english but i understan very good! thanks!!!

[bobwilson123]

@13141508si thank you !

[ballerinababe45]

your video is excellet, however im still a beginner at this whole thing and I am not really sure how you actually start the corner on the very first square that you do. After that your tutorial is wonderful =)

[bobwilson123]

@ballerinababe45 the very first yellow row on the first square in video 1 is just another normal round of the granny square .. did that make sense ?

[ballerinababe45]

@bobwilson123 yes but i dont know how to start it, for example do you chain and then start double crochet or i guess really my question is how do you get it attached at the beginning.

[ballerinababe45]

@bobwilson123 yes that makes sense but i dont know how to actually start that color (yellow) like do u chain a certain amount then start working the corner, or i guess how do you get it attched in the corner?

[bobwilson123]

@ballerinababe45 ahh now im with you, yes when you join the yellow you join it .. there will be a video on you tube on how to change colors with a granny square.. then you chain up 3 and work a corner... which is usually chain 3, 2 dc, chain and then 3 dc all in the same space .. did that help you ?

[ballerinababe45]

@bobwilson123 THANK YOU!!!! so helpful, thank you so much =)

[cindylemon1]

I like your video on joining Granning Squares, do you have any tips for joining five sided ones.

[bobwilson123]

@cindylemon1 Hi Cindy

I have never joined 5 sided ones but you could dew them .. or single crochet them ... Happy Crochet !

[Tanny1958]

Thanks for your Video's..Granny Squares Part 1 & 2. I have 81 (x8) squares that I have completed (of and on) over a 25 year period and have not, until now, known the best way to put them together. Wow each square I join brings back memories!

Can you make a suggestion as to what might be the best boarder to go right around the finished assembled blanket to help "finish it off"? Regards

[bobwilson123]

@Tanny1958 That is so excellent that you have all those granny squares and yes all the memories.. ahh the good old days:)

Border - depends on what type of look you want and your skill level. There are shell borders.. or just plain DC borders.... When i make this afghan i usually so a round of double crochet and then i do the granny stitch (group of 3 double crochets)

Let me know how you go and thanks for your comment :)

[Tanny1958]

@Tanny1958 Thanks for your suggestion.Skill level I am not too bad . Was taught by a old transylvanian grandmother years ago.When you say a round of double crochet... what do you double crochet into?

Are you saying put the hook between the individual double crochets making up the 3 double crochets granny stitch and then 1 into space between the granny stitches?

Then the next/last round,do your granny stitch (3 doubles) between each or say every 2 or 3 doubles? Thanks again Tania

[bobwilson123]

@Tanny1958 I sorry i just saw your comment ! yes into each stitch around .. this includes the 3 stitches of the groups of 3 and then in to the space between the groups. And yes the got the next row correct

Thanks for your comment and happy crochet !

[NikiK1987]

Hey there, bobwilson123! I just wanted to let you know that I was originally NicklesPickles87, but I haven't been on YT for a while, and then forgot the password, so I had to make a new account. I'm still working on the g-square afghan, and it seems to be coming out pretty well, considering it's my first of that kind. I read your comment back, and thanks for the help. I will make sure I let you know how it turns out. Happy Easter! :)

[omtotro]

thank you very much i fainaly can join my grany square

[bobwilson123]

@omtotro Your welcome :O) Have a Great Day and Happy Crochet !

[ShakerDiva16]

Hello again, I posted my thanks for part 1 - was a little frazzled at the end of the 1st video until I realized that there was a part 2. I am going to recommend your video to all my crochete friends JOB WELL DONE Thanks!

[bobwilson123]

@ShakerDiva16 thanks again for your wonderfull comment ! Happy Crochet !

[NicklesPickles87]

First of all, I have to say WOW! That's a great joining method! But, I do have 2 questions for you. On the square itself, do you have a ch2 space, and does it matter how many rounds the squaure is itself? I am making an afghan with approx, 64 6-round squares. When I start with my join color, should I just do a ch1 in the corners, or still do the ch2? Would I have to do a ch1 before and after in the corners when joining? Thanks!!

[bobwilson123]

aww shucks ! Thanks!

-chain2 space ? in the corner ? i have a chain 1 space.but if u find when u do the corner when you join is puckering up and wont lay flay maybe u could try putting 2 chain in the corner when u join ?

yes i would recomend what u said 'do a ch1 before and after in the corners when joining' that way it will be even

-no it doesnt matter how many rounds each square has .u just crochet along the edge untill you get to the corner

let me no if u need more help :O)

[hbz717]

Thank you so much for this vid. I have crochet lots of granny squares and had no idea on how to join them! EXCELLENT!

[bobwilson123]

No problem at all ! I am glad you found it helpfull !

Happy Crochet !

[montrealstars60]

Hi! I finished my squares and started to join them, won't tell you what it looked like, so left it behind. I am sooooooooooo glad I found you. Your tutorial made me finally figure out how to assemble the squares.

Thanks so so much for posting it. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos to help us get started on our projects.

[bobwilson123]

Wow thankyou for such a kind comment . It has made my day :)

I am glad that you enjoyed my video and i am more that happy to share my tips and advice with you

Happy Crochet !

[McRosy]

Thanks.. I tried to be a big girl. and started connecting and messed it up bad.. But I had the extra roll of double and joining same color.. through me off. going to use differant color and join and follow your steps better.. can't wait to get it done.. Thanks.. McRosy

[bobwilson123]

yes I would recomend using a different colour for the joining it makes it easier to keep a track of where you are up to ...also make a lovley contrast to the rest of the blanket :)

[McRosy]

Thank you so much for this video. I don't care for the rig that is left when joing squares the normal way. I love this.... thanks so much.. can't wait to get all my squares together..

[bobwilson123]

My pleaseure to share this with you ! Glad you like it. It does take a little getting used to but once you master it its easy :) Good luck and happy crochet !

[LiLadyPoker]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I am working on my first granny square blanket ever, and the problem of how I was going to join the squares was really bothering me until I found your video! I can't wait to try your technique! I think it's going to turn out lovely! ^_^

[bobwilson123]

Hi !

I am so glad that you like this method, Congratulations on making your first granny square afghan! You will have to let me know how you go !

[guyjay7]

Thank you for this video. I'm working on an afghan using this method and I love it. I tried the flat braid method but I didn't really care for it. This is simple and its fun to watch my project come together. Thanks again!

[bobwilson123]

I totally agree, to tell you the truth i got confused when I tried the flat braid method haha! And when i saw this method I loved it !

[isrealite1judah]

Thank U so much 4 postin this video and the 1st Ones, I used to join pieces together via sc, but after just mastering granny square, i love this method of joining them. It's like do two things at one time; boarding and joining at the same time. Great Video and thanks again!!!!

[bobwilson123]

Thanks for your comment ! I am glad you could use it I agree, I looove how it borders and joins at the same time !!

[bigwdy27]

Lord I wish I had seent this first! Thank you for such a clear and well explained video. Im working on a blanket now using the sewing method...agony! Next time I am def going to use this method. Thanks so much!

[bobwilson123]

Glad you liked it ! Thankyou for saying it was well explained, I was worried that i may have confussed people by rambling on so much ?

thanks for your comment !

[RiccardoVittorio]

I have been crocheting granny squares for years. Normally, I sew them together; but, the result is mixed. I love this method.

[bobwilson123]

Thankyou ! I used to sew them together as well...but i learnt from a 82 year old lady how to do this and i have never looked back !

[hoboko65]

Your video ROCKS! The instructions are so clear I was able to successfully use this method after watching Part 1 & 2 even though I wasn't by my computer when I finally tried it several weeks later on a road trip. My afghan looks so good! I love granny squares but hated the joining, with your method it is now painless!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[bobwilson123]

Hi hoboko65

Thanks for your wonderfull comment

I am so glad that you like the joining method, once you get the hang of it (just like anything) it really is a easy joining method and you dont have to muck around with sewing them together ...I always hated the joining part to ! and when i learnt how to do it this way i couldnt believe how quick it was :)

[fishtownn]

success. i am joining the granny squares and it becoming a proper blanket. thank you for so much for this video. kind regards

[bobwilson123]

WOOOOO!!!! How exciting, i m so happy for you ..itys a little tricky at first but once you get it ites easy !

[fishtownn]
