i got stuck after part 2:59 wen i keep going it ends up looking round and trying to turn into a hat lol plz help im having a baby in july a really wanna make this blanket for my baby..

@bunnywitclass ok....if your square is going round that is telling me you are not getting your corners done right.....you need to do 3dc ch2 3dc on each corner to make it pointy....keep trying and pay close attention to your corners and I think you will get it.....good luck....let me know if you need more help.....cathy@ mikeys helpdesk :)

Determining what is a corner and what it not a corner (to put the hook through) seems to be my downfall. Mine comes out very round, lacking distinguishable "corners". I see many holes, I have no earthly idea which holes in this round cluster of yarn are "corners." When completed, I take my non-uniform, uneven product and stretch it into a square shape. This makes me feel somewhat more accomplished.

@gentlenurse82 these squares take practice.....keep on trying :) at the beginning you should have 4 main puffs or clusters of stitches like a cross and thin stitches where you chained two attaching them ....these thin chain stitches is where you want to add you next round of corners .....pay attention to your corners!!! (3dc ch2 3dc) let me know if you need more help...... cathy @ mikeys helpdesk :)

@mikeyssmail thanks, Mikey. I figured it out, after noticing the cross shape in the middle with the gaps between the crosses arms. I'm very visually mathmatic, I see everything as a pattern, like a mosaic. These really were simple to make once I learned it. I've made 22 without "messing up" or having to start one over. Thanks for your videos. They helped much more than the other granny square vids I watched on youtube.

This is an awesome tutorial! Thank you! My grandma was teaching me to crochet when I was 15 and we really didn't get to it all before she passed away. Now I can make a granny square afghan!

Was going good until second round where it got confusing. You should slow down too.. gonna go find another vid..

[marigeobrien]

Thanks for the instruction. I found it very easy to follow. I recently took up crocheting again after not having done it for almost 30 years. I did so because, one day, I noticed a small granny square blanket I'd made once still looks almost new-- and it dawned on me everything that blanket has gone through: two children playing with it (who are now in college) innumerable moves, cats, dogs-- you name it. Crocheted work lasts!

You had me at first and it was going great then you went too fast and I got confused with the different number of chains at each corner. :(
