🔥 Frequently Asked Questions:

*How much yarn will I need?* This is a very tricky question to answer as there are so many variables! How much yarn you need will depend on which yarn you choose, the thickness of that yarn, your tension and how large you want your finished project to be. I suggest making a small sample first so you can gauge how much yarn you'll need. If making a crochet square, you can weigh your finished square to work out how much yarn it used!

*How many squares do I need for a blanket?* That all depends on the size of the square you are making and how big you want your finished blanket to be! I always advise making one square first then measuring the size of it. From there you can work out how many squares you will need to get the blanket size you want 😀

Just want to say you are such a great teacher. Thank you.

Thanks for the new way to start and stop a row, , I've been crocheting for years, and this is a game changer, thanks Robin.

[lauriewiedeman]

I really appreciate how in your videos, you are explaining how to understand the stitches and think creatively about getting the look you want, rather than just teaching us how to do your exact pattern. It's like teaching us the theory behind cooking rather than just how to follow a recipe. Thank you!!

[pamelaevans]

The options for different threads is gold for me, thank you!

[jtjones]

I love the way she explains everything to you and she doesn’t go fast and I love that .

[prairiefarmgirl]

Love this ❤ I need 48 hours per day to work and then crochet the many projects I want to make!!!

[deborahayers]

Mind blowing!!!! I could just cry lol how easy this is. Thank you for sharing 😊

[johnettastephens]

Thank you so much for sharing how to avoid the seam in a solid granny square! You explained everything beautifully, and it helped me understand not only how to do it, but why to do what we do. It helps me remember better when I understand why. This is one of the best tutorials on making this granny square that I've seen😊❤

[eleanorrodway]

At first glance I couldn’t see why it was so difficult, then I couldn’t see how it could be done! Thankfully you have excellent communication skills Robin 😄. Beautiful finish.

[brendavirgin]

My first solid granny thathas ever worked out even on all sides thank you

[EthelAchim]

I love it Robin 😍, I never get bored watching your well explained Video Tutorials, thank you again for this beautiful Tutorial 👌💯🥰

[salamanda]

Here I thought I knew everything about basic granny squares. But this is amazing!!

[RojinDrawsStuff]

Wonderful tutorial! I always avoided solid granny sqaures because it always looked off, but ths tutorial made it super easy and pretty!

[kyanitekat]

This is absolutely brilliant - it makes join-as-you-go squares/hexagons so much easier when you have to join to that last side! I don't think I'll ever go back to any other method.

[deejohnson]

It has been months since I've crocheted anything, and just along since I've watched any crochet videos. Thanks for a helpful video. ❤

[kimberleygrace]

This was THE BEST tutorial out there I've seen on how to do this. Thank you so so much!

[marlainedennehy]

Thank you Robin you made me understand how to do this solid granny square.

[renukajindal]

I completely agree that you are great teacher, I can easily follow your instructions thanks 🙏

[cannadayable]

I love this pattern so much! The way you showed how to keep it going without flipping or turning helped so much! Makes it look seamless! I did go further to about an 18 inch size for a pillow. It is a bit floppy but not horrible. I plan to use this pattern for so many more projects! My mother recently passed so i got her whole "collection" of yarn at my house now, taking up my guest bedroom. I have been trying to find fun different things to make. I am excited to try this as multiple granny squares to put together to make a "quilted" blanket :) :) :) thank you for sharing this :)
