If you hate joining granny squares, try this!

If you're tired of the boring task of joining granny squares one by one, I totally get it! The join as you go granny square technique totally changed how I approach granny square projects. With this method, you can crochet them together as you work on your project, which makes it way more fun than the regular joining methods!

The yarn I used for the squares in this video is Bernat Super Value in the colors: colonial blue, cornflower, natural and oatmeal.

If you're still kind of new to crocheting and this join seems to tricky for you right now, here are some other great ways to join your granny squares:

I've made quite a few with this join as you go and it's held up over the years. I have one from the early 80's and it's still perfect through countless launderings.

Looking forward to trying this method as in the past I've sewn the squares together

I love this method so much! Got the hang of it the first time and never needed to go back to a tutorial. And now I can't stop making granny squares blankets 😂

I have a crochet reference playlist here and this tutorial is DEFINITELY going into it! Excellent! One of my closest friends died unexpectedly a couple years ago. Her hubby is slowly going through her knitting, crocheting and yarn stash. He gave me 31 gorgeous granny squares (all different) she had crocheted. I was thrilled, but also dreading it because of the thought of sewing them together using a blind ladder or mattress stitch. Now I can crochet them together and I couldn’t be happier. Thanks.

I’ve been crocheting for 50+ years and this is my opinion based on my experience. 😅The strength of the join is going to depend on the yarn you are using. If it’s acrylic it’s likely to have little give but if you are using a wool or cotton, you can count on more give. I don’t hate this join at all for my acrylic yarn granny squares. I don’t like joining granny squares and this makes it easy. Very nice tutorial. Love your channel.

So glad to stumble across this video while im here having my coffee. Im literally pulling out my needle and joing color skein for some square's ill be joining to put together a kitchen curtain. These squares have been sitting here for awhile now and I just haven't wanted to join them with the sew method. Well now i have a new way to join. Thank you!

I’m also in granny square mode right now. Love all the fun granny content! Working on squares for the canvas bag tote!

I used to avoid making blankets with small granny squares until I discovered this method. It really is so easy. I also had to fiddle around with my corners till I worked out the look I liked best and I also prefer to join diagonally. Great video.

I love this finish and I totally followed and understood the feeling you expressed of crocheting vs. finishing! I can't wait to use this method to complete a granny square blanket in my WIP group that has been weighing heavy on my mind. Thank you so much for sharing!

O.m.g. I have been so stumped!!
I made a granny square baby blanket 35 years ago using this join technique and forgot how it started. I can now FINALLY start joining my squares and not OCD on whether I like the way the stitch looks because IT IS STILL THE GRANNY SQUARE STITCH😂 thank you!!

Go with the lighter color! Beautiful! Thanks for sharing this technique with us!

[elainestrobel]

Thank you Soo much for this trick, joining grannies is the bane of my existence! So much easier and not like joining at all. I love making granny squares, but joining just puts a hitch in my giddyap. You're my crochet hero!

You did a great job showing how crochet squares can be sewn together. This is the first time I've seen it. Good for the beginners. Keep enjoying crochet. I love it so much although I'm old now❤

[ellensmith]

I was not able to learn from other instructors, now I know. Will soon try it out. I am so excited. Thank you

[Shopaholic-dl]

Great method! First time doing a granny square throw with 9 squares and this came in handy. Thank you

[judykish]

Great job young lady! Thank you for sharing.

[spinningloft]

Thanks! First time on the channel and I found you easy to watch and listen to. I am a beginner crocheter and I totally got it.👏

[hollycampbell]

You saved my life on joining my sunflower granny blanket. This looks so much better than any other way and so easy. Thank you for this CLEAR video

[Jdd]

I use crochet to join them together and I have just finished my crazy work and I used different stitches and colors and it was really good and I enjoy the idea of your art and I love that you are happy and excited to see it finished and I hope you try a crazy addition to make your own ideas come to life

New subscriber here. I love this tutorial! It is easy to follow, and your instructions are clear.
What I love about this method is there is no counting of stitches or worrying whether the stitch count on each square matches up.
