Granny Square Blanket Crochet Along Part 3 - Joining Your First 8 Squares

Welcome to Wow! Crochet and today's tutorial is our very first CAL (Crochet Along) Blanket - Part 3. Joining of your first 8 squares. In this video I have shown you how to join 2 of the squares together. Just repeat this stitch for the remaining 6 squares. Do not cut your yarn. Just put your project aside and continue onto the next step of our blanket. As mentioned in this tutorial, wash and block your next 8 squares. See link below for the washing and blocking step. Whilst your next 8 squares are blocking. Crochet your next 8 squares of your 3rd colour. See link below on how to crochet your granny square. I will return in 8 days to join the 2nd, set of 8 squares to this set. Please clink on links below for details of previous tutorials for this blanket.

See Link below for details of the blanket.

THANK YOU MARY!!! I just discovered your method of JAYG. I had just completed a blanket using the slip stitch in the gap between the clusters, and came across your video and ripped it all out. I wasn't satisfied with the joining. It didn't look secure and had too many gaps. UGH!!!
Your method is great! I was hesitant to do the "fiddly" thing with each stitch, looked like too much work, but it became easy. It's actuallly easier, especially the corners.
And the corners!!! So beautiful and neat! And Easy!!!
This looks so professional, beautiful and is very secure. Also, both sides look finished!


THANK YOU!!!

[clewis]

Can this process be done for a granny square cardigan/sweater? If so, can you perhaps do something like this in a video. You do great work. Very informative!! 🥰

[carmenrickter]

Roughly, About how many skeins are needed for the trimming? 3, 4...? Thanks I absolutely LOVE this pattern.

[deborahhamsho]

Baby ya lost me for the first time. I'm gonna have to study this and if I don't get it I'll join another way. Thanks
