Could I use this to join pentagons? I know there will be a gap between them, but will this make the gap a bit smaller?

@coyoteoctober I do not see why not?!

Thank you so much for this interesting method to join grannies! I'd like to know how to call it in German - but for using the method "names" are completeley unimportant ;o)

@MariyaSalam braid in German is Borte.

Thanks--I totally understand--if you are busy- don't bother.

I love all the ones you do! Thanks so much for doing them-I appreciate it so

much.

@Knuttyknitster I've made a new one, but something is going wrong with my software. I filmed it in wide screen HD, but it goes into my editing program in standard width and it fore-shortens everything! I need to iron out this glitch. It may mean re-filming it again.

That was very helpful! Thanks ever so much for uploading this tutorial! This method looks very attractive. I'll probably be coming back here, once i start joining my stacks of squares.

Thank you sooooooo much for this video!!!! I have been working on squares and motifs and when i joined them they had a seam...hated them. Been trying to find a way to make my seams flat!!! thank you so much!

You're an amazing teacher. For you to spend your time to show us how to do this is just phenomenal. Thanks so much for doing this, you made it look so easy!!

I thought it was a Siamese cat I heard in the background :)

But I understand it's your son, LOL!

WOW! I think this will be my favorite way to join. And I love the contrast. Shows it can go either way if you're running low on yarn, just join with a complimentary yarn. Thank you so much for your videos, you are a natural teacher. : )

Thank you for the video. Now I know the correct way to crochet in a yarn tail. I was doing it by crocheting over it and not crocheting the tail into the stitch itself. You make crocheting the flat braid seem easy.

Beautiful!  Thanks.

I wanted to say thank you so much for making this video, I have tried many times to work this type of joining and never really got it until I seen it in your video. It definately is a great help for a person who learns things visually...Again thank you so very much...
