I’ve been looking at videos on how to join squares for the past few days. Today I finally came across this one and managed to successfully start joining 9/80 squares! It’s a Great video that’s easy to follow and understand.

Thank you for showing the paper diagram and for continuing to reference how all the squares fit together. Very helpful!

I just had to comment to say you are such a wonderful teacher!! You have singlehandedly taught me how to crochet. I had completed 144 granny squares in an attempt to make a blanket but I was having so much trouble figuring out the proper way to join them. I remembered this channel (from which I had originally learned to crochet) and sure enough it was the one video that taught how to do it from start to finish in such a clear and easy to follow way. I have suggested your videos to many of my friends who have showed an interest in learning to crochet. You are the best!! Thanks so much

I was looking through your channel, and in the for you section, I saw this, and im making a blanket with granny squares. Thank you. I needed this one.😅

This has come just at the right time as I’m crocheting a poncho, and getting to the point of joining them together

My new favorite way to join granny squares.🤩 Life changer, fr.

[Jsdudleysmith]

Just what I needed, as I’m coming to the end of making all my granny squares and was wondering what to do next! Thank you 🙏

[Thekatswhiskas]

Thank you so much for sharing. I always joined my squares in a different way thus having loads of dreaded loose ends to weave in. Now it just one continuous strand. What a life saver

Merci tellement pour votre superbe vidéo et tellement facile à comprendre! Je suis une québécoise francophone et je comprends tout!!!! Merci pour tout le temps et la belle énergie que vous mettez dans chacun de vos vidéos ! Vous mettez du soleil et du bonheur dans nos journée et ceci est un beau privilège !!🤩

Thank you so much! I've got 42 daisy granny squares that I've been procrastinating putting together. With this I'm going to start tomorrow. I can't wait to get started putting them together now!

[bridgettegaddis]

You are a life saver! After watching many other finally, I understand! 🎉 Thank you for your very helpful explanation and diagram!

I have always hated joining squares but this looks so nice.

Haciendo estos cuadraditos me enseñó mi Abuela. Hace poco que me he animado a retomar el ganchillo (Española de 60🎂)
Partiendo de que no se nada de inglés, sus explicaciones me han resultado bastante claras para ir recordando lo olvidado.
Creo entender que da explicaciones para zurdos y diestros, es la primera vez que encuentro con tal habilidad. La felicito por su estupendo trabajo,
💐💐💐 la recomendaré a mis conocidas .

[auntiem]

Fabulous, i have a grocery bag full of completed squares that I’ve been putting off joining together. ❤

[rwords]

I've used this method before to join a number of squares a friend had from her mother. It's satisfying & fun! (Btw, really like your right hand ring, lovely!)

[dominiquerae]

Mentally preparing to make my first blanket soon. These videos have been very informative and so helpful. If this is an option on the pattern I choose, I for sure will be trying this method.

[terryf]

What a great tutorial for joining squares. It took me a while to get it, but I finally did!

[luleetomas]

Thank you so much!!! I watched other videos and they confused me so bad. This was simple and easy

[cindysimpson]

Excellent tutorial! Thank you so much, very clear instructions.

[susanburns]

Thank you! I love the look of granny square crochet but have avoided making afghans, scarves or shawls with them because I hated the joining process by sewing them together ( the only method I had ever seen). This encourages me to try a traditional granny square piece after many years. I have done several afghans that are just one giant granny square but it’s not the same.
