Hi Beth. I love the way you join the granny squares using the 5 chain method. I am about to put my afgan together and I want to use this method. Is there any way I could get the chart on what directions I should be going in. I think I'm going to have a problem with the joining the 4 squares. And by the way, I love all your videos. I think you are awesome. Is there anyway you could give me the directions in a message using my FB account. I'm not that good with emails. I would love to have you as a friend on fb. My wife is learning how to chrochet, but doesnt want m to teach her. She says I have no patience. lol lol lol. Imagine that. lol lol
I'm also doing the Jacobs Ladder. I love this.
Thankyou Beth for your very clear example of the 5 chain method, having never seen it before and trying other ways to join which didn't grab me, I am looking forward to using yours as it looks lacey and interesting. Many thanks. Julie.
The 5 braid flat brain looks great and I would like to use it to join all granny squares of an afghan. There will be 9 squares across and 12 -13 squares down. I haven't crocheted much for a while so the how to manage that is confusing. I'm not sure if I need to join nine patches or if I need to do one 12 square long row and then go all the way back up as in the second row of the nine patch. If so do I just continue working up and down the total length of the afghan? Any help/suggestions would be appreciated!
This is a beautiful way to join, in lieu of a simple whip stitch or single crochet. I will definitely include this in my reportoire of finishing!
Beth, thanks for this awesome video. I have been searching for a way to join granny squares, and this looks to be the method i'm going to try. Also, can I do more than the nine squares and get the same finish?
Hi Beth:
Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. English is not my language and I understood perfectly how to make this.
My work look awesome!
Hello This is a nice way to join Granny Squares. Would you happen to have written instructions for this way of joining the squares? Thanks
