How to crochet: Granny Square, Lesson 1

This is a re-make of the very first video I made and uploaded to You Tube.

This is for very new beginners. Watch these videos through a couple of times before picking up your yarn & hook. Then while you are working the stitches, pause the video so you don't miss anything.

Ok I brand spankin new to crocheting, I should be able to grab my yarn and hook and start crocheting with this video or do I need more info first?

[Bethintx1]

@lefty584 You should be able to learn with this video. I learned to crochet when I was 11 years old by learning the granny square first. If you prefer to learn the basics first check out my back to basics video series. How to crochet back to basics.

@Rejani1025 I think of one of Aesops fables when I read the comments on Too fast or too slow. The moral of the story was, "You cannot please everyone!" There are other YT teachers out there that are faster. I've had comments that I am too fast. I would rather be slow and clear than be too fast and viewers miss the construction of the stitches. Remember, this video is intended for viewers who have never crocheted before.

@Bethintx1 Thanks so much. However I am left handed and had a lot of trouble, I found some south paw videos, but yours really helps me understand what the heck is going on. Thanks again. Maybe I can impress my mom with my new skills, she has been quilting all my life and I always wanted to do those kinds of things

Ive found that sometimes its easy to be confused with over description. I really recommend picking p a how to book with illistration so you can copy it step by step when you are away from a computer! Happy Hooking!

Thanks. I love this series. I thought the speed was just right. I just did as she suggested and replayed and replayed and replayed. Beth did a good job explaining the terms and what was going on. Thanks for putting this up for newbies like me. I got a lot of enjoyment out of creating my "first" granny square.
