How i join my granny squares

2025/3/5 Edited to

... Read moreJoining granny squares is a popular technique in the world of crochet that creates beautiful blankets, clothing, and accessories. This method not only showcases your artistic flair but also allows for flexibility in design, as various colors and patterns can be combined. A few common joining techniques include whip stitch, slip stitch, and single crochet joins. Each method offers a distinct look and feel, catering to different project aesthetics and personal preferences. For example, a whip stitch can provide a seamless look, while a slip stitch can create a more textured finish. Moreover, it's beneficial to experiment with joining methods as it not only affects the visual appeal but also the durability of the finished product. When tackling this technique, ensure that your squares are uniformly sized and shaped; this will significantly simplify the joining process. Using yarn in a similar weight throughout your project can also enhance the final appearance. To achieve a cohesive look, consider using a color scheme that complements your completed squares. Additionally, resources like online tutorials or crochet communities can offer valuable insights. Engaging with forums like #crocheting, #lemon8crochet, #handmade, and #diy can connect you with fellow enthusiasts who share their experiences and provide guidance as you refine your skills. With practice and patience, mastering the art of joining granny squares will undoubtedly enhance your crochet repertoire.

Four finished blue crochet granny squares, each featuring a white skull design in the center, are displayed on a wooden surface. The image is titled "HOW to MAKE Skull Granny Squares" with decorative sparkles.
A handwritten crochet pattern for a "SKULL Granny Square" is shown on a spiral-bound notebook. It lists necessary materials, abbreviations, and the detailed instructions for the "Skull Part" including Round 1 and the beginning of Round 2.
A continuation of the handwritten crochet pattern for a "SKULL Granny Square" is displayed. It provides instructions for the remainder of Round 2, Round 3, Round 4, and advises to repeat the pattern for Round 5, concluding with an invisible fasten off.

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 😊

This image introduces the topic of crocheting a granny square, showing three skeins of yarn in burnt orange, red, and brown, along with a crochet hook on a wooden background.
A hand holds red yarn, demonstrating the first step of Round 1 (R1) for a granny square, which is to chain 5 (CH5), with an arrow pointing to 'Chain 1'.
A hand demonstrates forming a circle in red yarn by slip stitching (SL ST) to CH1 and chaining 4 (CH4, indicating to work into this circle and add 3 double crochets (3DC).
Granny Squares for Babies?! 🤪
Someone asked for a breakdown on how to make a granny square. Check out below for abbreviations long worded. CH - chain DC - double crochet SLST - slip stitch One key advice to remember is to always change four at the beginning of the round. And then add your first 3DC in that same stitch.
