Thanks for your videos. I learned the chain back when I was 13 years old, my Spanish teacher taught me. But then I graduated elementary school and no one kept teaching me. Now I'm 36, mother of a 2 yr 8 mo. old and a 1 month old girls and want to learn. The only class I could find was over $300, which is extremely expensive with a newborn. I had lost hope of learning when a facebook friend suggested me your videos and here I am. Hopefully I'll be crocheting baby clothes soon. :)
Thanks so much for teaching us! I only know the very, very basics and now I'm making granny squares. I do have a question. At the end of a round, when you attach the last stitch to the first beg three rope d/c, I have a hard time inserting the tip of the needle into that first stitch. Am I maybe not inserting it in the right place?
@pdrk797 Yes you are. That stitch is always a little tight. You can use your fingers and pull open the loop a little if you need to. When you make that beginning chain-3, you can try to make it a little looser than the rest of your stitches.
These videos are great....I use to only know how to crochet a chain....haha And my granny square looks like a granny circle.....what am I doing wrong!!!
@AmberShell89 Your first round will look like a circle. Mine looks square because I tug on the chains in the corner stitches. This is called finger blocking.
Your vedios are so wonderful. I never had anyone(mom or grandmother) who would teach me how to do this. Thank you so verry verry much. Your vedios have really helped mr in more ways than you knw! Thanks a bunch!
Hi. I'm from England uk. I have just come accross your videos. And they are grreat. We have now got our own crochet mag here. But I prefer crochet world. I think in the uk should use the same as USA patterns and symbols. Best of luck. And many thanks. Janet
I would like to hire you to oversee my building projects; there is such a level of precision, and attention to detail showcased in this tutorial, along with a confident and steady hand, a level i wish my plumbers, roofers and landscapers would strive for. Imagine if the world were full of knitters and crocheters!
ur video is much eazyier to learn, i have been reading the books, and sometimes they are to confusing to understand, thanks for clearing up on the instrustructions!
I'm so glad i found these videos. all i've been doing is straight stitches, and have been looking forward to learning to do more. this is an easy place for me to start, and your videos are great. thanks!
I recommend you try my new back to basics video series. It's much clearer on the stitch formations. The second row is slightly faster because the stitches are the same... they are just made in a different place.
At work watching during my lunch hour, my cousin and I are learning with our ladies church group as well. I can't wait to go home and make a granny square before our next meeting Thanks Bethintx1
Your videos have taught me so much. I am 21 years old, I never did crochet before and now I do! I would like to learn how to make baby clothes and booties; perhaps you can have a video on this. I would like to donate money. What you do deserves it. The Lord says to give honor where honor is due and it certainly is due here !
I'm sending you a PM in response. There are several teachers that I adore here on YT that have tutorials for baby things.
No need to make a donation to me. Just make one to your local charity or foodbank. I am a YouTube Partner and I get a little money each month from Google for letting them place ads on my videos.
This is great! I'm at work watching. I can't wait to try when I get home. If you can before starting, can you show a whole project and what piece we are working on. I like to have a vision! :) Thank you again!!
Well folks! It's finally here! The much awaited lesson 4! I also made a lesson 5 for taking care of the yarn ends, aka tails. Sorry I had y'all wait a whole year! Go to my subscription page, and you can find them there.
This lady is wonderful, I have never been able to crochet in my life! PLEASE PUT ON NUMBER 4! I hope you put on many more episodes, with more patterns etc
Great tutorial BUT these instructions are not correct. Granny squares have a "right" & "wrong" side & should always be worked only from the right side.The "right" side of your work looks nicer. When you start with a chain 3 & turn your work you are making the "right" side the "wrong" side. After joining with a slip stitch you need to slip stitch in the double crochet stitches & corner space moving to the left. Then you ch 3 , work 2 double crochet, ch 2, 3 double crochet in the corner space.
The wonderful thing about being creative is there is no right or wrong way to do it. My squares happen to be reversible. I do know how to make them with all of the stitches facing the front side. I also do it without making those unsightly slip stitches across the top of the shell too. So my way is not wrong; it's just different!
Hi.Bethintx1 i am barley learning how to croche i would love if u could make a vid on how to double crochet and how to make a granny square u are really good at crocheting
wow, thanks.This is easily the best crochet lesson on youtube. When are you going to do lesson 4? I.d like to make some crochet brooches, I've seen some lovely roses with leaves. Please make a lesson on how to do this if you can. Thanks XX
I am so grateful for your lesson how to make a granny square. they are fun to make and i feel more confident in my abilities. my advice to those having trouble...don't give up keep trying, that's how you learn. I think alot of my trouble was because i'm cross dominate, I should have been left handed. therefore i see things backwards. thank you for the instructions they have helped tremendously. Great video. from Colorado
i love your lesson 1, 2, and 3 videos...i recently became interested in crocheting and your videos are so EASY to follow. i really need help continuing my granny square because lesson 3 video finished on the side, not the corner so i don't know wether to chain stitch 3 or not. and how do you finish off...do you just tie the string in a knot and cut it? please do a lesson 4 video soon! thanks!!
Wonderful Video. I've made lots of squares. could you show how to make the octagan shaped ones too? wondered if it was the same principal. thanks for these lessons. God Bless You!
My mom passed away a month ago. She had crocheted blankets for my 3 brothers, but was too sick to finish mine and teach me. I felt like she would have liked it if I could finish it. I had no clue where to begin. Your videos were slow and easy to understand. Thank you so much for posting them, so that I might carry on family tradition.

Please make more videos! You're helping pass on a great skill to the next generation that may have been lost without you. I've been trying to learn for months with no avail, and now I'm making a baby blanket for my first child! Thank you so much.
Thanks so much! I just got a book for Christmas on how to do 200 different squares but I can't read the patterns at all. You made at least one of them much easier!
Even though you haven't posted round 3, I think I've figured it out. Thanks again!
Thank you for such an informative video. I have eventually learned how to crochet a granny square thanks to you. Please could you make another one showing how to join the squares together? THANK YOU!
this is amazing! I'm SO grateful that you have taken the time to do this, it's really wonderful. I've been using videos online to teach myself to crochet, and yours is just perfect for learning the granny square, THANK YOU!
Ma'am, I have watched EVERY video on youtube and beyond on how to do a granny square and I can't do it. I try and try and try but don't get it. After watching your videos, I got it and I am soooo grateful! Thank you soooo much!
Thankyou for your lessons, i am beginning to crochet and i have learnt a lot with your lessons, i am eager to do round 3 on granny square, i hope you will have time to do video on Lesson 4 - round 3 on granny square soon.

silviafarfallina 2 years ago
OH! The weird blob! Okay...JK. ;)
If you practice... and count 3 double crochet, chain 2, 3 double crochet (6 dc total) in each corner space. You should do fine.
Experienced crocheters often frog out their work and start over.
It's called frogging because you "rip-it, rip-it!"
Keep on trying!!!
