My top tips for blocking your granny squares!!!🫶✨

These are just some tips that I find help me out a ton and are things I wish I would have known when I started out!!!!

-Weave in your ends!! (This just helps keep everything tidy and gets it out of the way!)

-Quality Check! (This is just super helpful in making sure everything is as it should be!)

-Stretch it out!! (Don’t be scared to do it!! That’s what blocking is about!)

-Make it even!(This will ensure that all your squares will end up being the same size!!)

-Get it wet!! (Another thing that blocking is all about!! If it’s not wet it might not help as much as you need it to!)

Let me know if you guys enjoyed these tips and if you’d like to see more things like this!🫶💕

... Read moreBlocking is a crucial step in crochet that transforms your granny squares into beautiful, polished pieces. By taking the time to weave in yarn ends, you not only tidy up your work but also prevent future unraveling. Checking the quality of your squares ensures they meet your standards, allowing you to create items that are aesthetically pleasing. Don't shy away from stretching your squares! This is key to maintaining uniformity in size, giving your project a professional look. Remember, wetting your squares during the blocking process is essential; it allows fibers to relax and adopt their intended shape. Just be cautious not to over-saturate as it may prolong drying. Experiment with these techniques to achieve stunning results in your crochet creations!

Granny Squares are the best
This project was a mixture of two tutorials I found on YouTube. One by Thatssojay and another by Fisayo and Crochet. I ran out of yarn for the first tutorial so I made the sleeves from the second one. This is actually a lot simpler than you think as long as you know how to make a granny square 😊
