thanks so much for sharing this method - however, do you have a video showing the very beginning of this method?

Hi Teresa, Wish u a happy new year. U are wonderful. I have tried almost everything from your tutorial. I would like to show you my works, but i don't know how to. Kindly let me know how to post photos

@ssjpy There are two ways to share your work. One is through a video response and the other is on my Facebook Crochet page. If you visit my YouTube channel page, you will see the link to Facebook.

Ooh nice :D I'm still pretty new to crochet. I've made three cupcakes so far, and a baby black faced lamb. So yeah, mostly Amigurumi crochet. I want to be able to make clothes too, but it's hard to find easy to read instructions...

[tjw1963]

Learning crochet instructions is like learning a foreign language. If don't learn how to decipher crochet and learn the language, the instructions will always seem hard.

I love this way of joining. It has so much more style and beauty then some of the others. Thank you for sharing it!

Hi, I am not very good at understanding the crochet terms used sometimes and I am not sure if you said here or on your blog how to do the outside edge of the square without connecting it. How do i make the pretty outside edge so I can connect my first square to my second one?

Thank you so much!

The video shows how to do it. There are instructions posted on my crochet showing the square placement. If you are doing the square individually it is a chain 3 around the square skipping a double crochet. My crochet blog has symbol instructions with a diagram showing square and stitch placement.

im having a baby and i really want to make him a blanket and things myself. i would like to use something like the plain 6 in. squares in one color and connect them using another color, and then adding something like the daisy stitch in the corner of the blanket. however i want to do stars, is that possible, and if so do you have a way of doing stars in such a fashion? and how do i connect the squares as simply as possible? you have really refreshed my memory on crochet so thank you!

[tjw1963]

You can connect stars but there will be big holes in your blanket since stars are an odd shape. What you can do is applique a star on a granny square or solid granny square. I just like sewing the square together when they are finished. If you are making the same size square out of the same pattern, you can join as you go and slip stitch them together.

by stars i meant...you have a video on how to add a daisy in a square. instead i would like to add stars to my squares.

Thank you for showing this, when you do your 3chains do you do them in the top of each stitch, or are you skiping 1 or 2 stitches to make the 3 chain loop? Thanks so much~ Dora :)

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. I am just going right around the chain loop. I am not going through any of the chains or skipping stitches. There are more details written on my crochet blog with a diagram
