Love it! I have been looking for a way different way to join granny squares. I hope I can perfect this one. Thanks for the patter!
looks so pretty!!! i can't wait to teach it to my students at my church group where we have been making warm up america patches and joining them with plain single crochet edges
what a wonderful job. Thanks for sharing this!
I had just finished 30 afghan blocks when I saw your tutorial. It is absolutely FANTASTIC. The finished afghan turned out beautiful - thanks to you - Thank you!!!!!
How to do #5 etc, etc??
did she ever show you how?
I would imagine that you continue attaching the squares as you did from the beginning.
The afghan I'm making has instructions similar to this for the "joining", there are 9 rows of 7 squares each. How would you suggest I proceed to join them together? One row across at a time? It certainly helps to see it being demonstrated rather than reading directions!
Thanks!
I've never been a fan of granny squares because of the join. This technique might change my mind and help me to use up my stash of leftovers!! Thanks.
How do you do Square #5. I am abeginner. And I loved your video's and have comleted my first 4. WOW! it is beautiful! thaks Just need to know what to do from here....
i wish she would have actually showed us how the squares were joined. :(
how do you add squares to the group of 4??????????
Thanks so much, but I don't know how to actually join the squares together, does the video continue? if not can you please make another video of the next step. Think a few of us would appreciate it.
This is great! I always am not happy with the effect of joining some patterns. This is so new and delicate to boot! How do I find the other videos, parts 2-4?
The other three videos are linked directly under the video above (1, 2, 3, 4).
Thank you for this unique way of joining squares. I have been looking high and low for a joining technique that looked the finished piece was all one piece. Wonderful!
please show us how to finish!!! we don't know how to make it bigger and join these squares! don't leave us hanging!
