I love how you break down the instructions and you don’t assume that people know any of the terms. Your camera angle is perfect because the shot is clear and nice and close. The other thing you do great is that you stopped and, with the needle showed where to put the hook. You understand that for beginners all of the holes look the same. To further reach all of your learners you have notes typed on the video. It’s clear how much effort you put into your tutorials. Just an observation from a teacher…and a student of crochet. Thank you!

I’m typing this comment after completing my FIRST ever granny square. And I just want to say THANK YOU. You made it so easy to follow along. I am grateful!!

This is the video that helped me understand knots I just… could not understand while reading about them. You do a GREAT job showing exactly how your hook moves and where it goes without blocking it with your hand or angle of the camera. Thank you so much! I’m learning for the first time and I appreciate you! ❤

At last! After several failed attempts, I've finally found a granny square video with instructions that I was able to make sense of and follow. I'm jubilantly about to finish my first ever proper Granny square! Thank you so much for your wonderful, clear guidance! :D

[cherenadesigns]

I've been crocheting for a year but every single creator explained grannies like this ancient science, finally someone who taught me how to do them! I'm going to make so so so many projects with this newfound knowledge. I love you for this! tysm

Me sitting here with literally nothing to crochet with and watching the whole video through 😂

[jackiegrant]

Excellent, I’m a beginner at the grand age of 62, love this and you’re a brilliant teacher. Thank you. 🥰

[ashleyburks]

This is legitimately the best ever beginner tutorial for a granny square. I thank you young kind lady for taking your time to do this!

[amyrichmond]

I am having some health issues, and after 30 years of resting my crochet hook, I decided to renew the old hobby by learning the new skill of granny squares. This video was so easy to follow along with that within an hour I had made my first completed granny square. I was so excited and am now looking forward to taking it easy instead of being upset and frustrated. Thank you 🩷

[fozslife]

This was the most clear and most beautiful tutorial on how to make a granny square and I enjoyed doing it as a beginner

[mandyjanis]

Thank you for your tutorial! I am a knitter but wanted to venture into crochet. It was super helpful to learn by your instructions. Took several tries, I had to keep going back to the start 😂. Finally with your help I made it! ❤

[redroser]

Thank you so much!!! I have been crocheting for at least 2 Years and I've never been able to make a granny square until now!!!! Thanks for this awesome video!!!! 😂

[maryannlindner]

I want to thank you, because After the second section in, I knew what to do. I paused the video and completed it in 3 minutes. This is my first time ever making a Granny square, and this is the best tutorial I found! ❤

[signemarkuson]

Just made my first square and I'm thrilled .I'm making my granddaughters winter scarves. Perfect tutorial. Thankyou

[lauramcspirit]

Best video. I know how to crochet, self taught. My Nana always made granny square afghans and passed before she was able to teach me how to crochet. Thank you so much! Everyone is getting granny squares for Christmas this year!

[abbyarroyo]

this was the video that made me want to continue learning crochet. i was about ready to give up, but like everyone else says, you made the tutorial so clear and easy to follow. i can’t thank you enough ❤️

[ilyerica]

Oh My God, seriously, this is the best tutorial ever for beginners, I watched a video before this, and didnt help because it kept turning out as a circle, and then I watched this video and I made it on the first try!! seriously, thank you so much it really helps as a 13 yo beginner!

[trishdickerson]

I’ve spent all day watching this video step by step over and over as I do it myself and I’m proud to say I think I might actually know what I’m doing! Thank you!!!!

[TinniTales]

Oh GOD!!!! Finally someone out there who understood how difficult it is for begginers to understand excatlty "which step creates which design" . You taught why we are doing the particular round and it made the whole process so easy . I cant thank you enough. Thanks . Love from INDIA!
