Crochet School :: Lesson 10 :: The SImplest Way To Join Granny Squares

This is the easiest way you will ever learn! It creates a raised, decorative ridge join. Here is how.

We need to make long strips of granny squares to then crochet together. Work out how wide your blanket will be. Lay your squares side by side until the width is right. How many squares? That's how many you need to join side by side to make a strip.

To join the sides of two granny squares::
Put your granny squares with their right sides facing out.
Line up the corner gap and tie your joining yarn there in a firm knot.
Chain 3
Now match up the corner gaps of BOTH granny squares and TREBLE 2 into BOTH lined up gaps.
Chain 1
Find the next gap on BOTH granny squares.
Treble three into BOTH of those lined up gaps.
Chain 1
Find the next gap on BOTH granny squares.
Treble three into BOTH of those lined up gaps.

Continue on in this pattern, filling each matched pair of gaps with 3 trebles right to the last gap.
Then yarn over and top loop through bottom loop.
Pull your loop nice and loose.
Snip your yarn and pull the loose end out until it forms a tight knot.

Love the video. But I am having a hard time finding a video that has what to do with those strings at the end...? I have all my blocks ready and two crochet together...but don't know about the strings....?

I'm actually finishing up a blanket for my daughter that uses that granny square pattern. I think I'm going to use this to join them when I'm done working all the sqaures. Thanks for sharing!
