I love this pattern. I used purple, lavender, & a variegated purple. The only thing I changed was… I used a double double triple double double for the corners instead of the change 2 space. I’ll get a picture of it when I’m done and post it to your facebook
Merci pour les explications j ai tout compris même si je parle pas anglais car vous montrer tout doucement thanks
I am in the process of making this and wondering if the puffiness of the center of the square will go away eventually? Love the pattern, thank you,

I am in the process of making it also. I found if I do the chain 2 between petals very loosely, the squares lie flat.
Si quieres hacer el círculo más grande, de cuántos puntos tiene que ser para poder hacer luego el cuadrado? Gracias!!

So beautiful! I’m working on the not your abuelita’s blanket rn but this is up next! Just finished the headbands before :) Quick question tho, your links to the tapestry needle and scissors come up as 8mm crochet hook. Could you share the link to these please?

Oh for sure! Any super bulky yarn would work for this size. But you can also try different yarn weights, you just have to make more squares ☺️

How many more squares will I need?
Do you cut off the yarn at The end? How to continuously connect them to go to another set of granny squares?
I’m making this blanket as well but I have a question: for the 5th row you say it had to be 64sts but as I’m doing step by step I only get to 57, how/where do the other sts go???? Also in the diagram in IG I believe I only counted 52sts in the 5th row, am I missing anything?? Please help 🙏🏻
My centers are still very puffy after finishing this blanket. Any thoughts? It worked up beautifully otherwise.
Why is it important to block when using other materials? And when do you block? Before or after putting the squares together?

You can but the squares will be way smaller :)
I’m confused why you said you already chained 1 at the very beginning when chaining 3 after the magic circle… I’m a beginner so sometimes the terms confuse me, but I didn’t see you chain 1, so it looks like you’ve only chained 2. Now i’m confused on if i’m chaining 3 after the magic ring or if the end of the magic ring counts as 1 chain so then you only do 2 more… Someone help! 😅
Love this pattern. You mentioned 64 dbl crochet on the last row or 16 per side. I only got 14 per side, making 56. I tried to count yours and it seemed it was also 56. Can you please confirm?

I finished all my circles and gave them 13 clusters instead of 12 and didn’t realize until all were done, ends were weaved and I started on turning them to squares. Is this salvageable? 😭
@CJDesignblog
6 ай бұрын
I'm sure it is! In the extra space you can do the 2 sc instead of 2 hdc sc, sc 2 hdc. I would do 2 hdc (in one space), 2 sc (in the next space) and 2 hdc and in the next space. Only for one group of stitches, that way you use the extra space you have. It might look funny for the first wound of the square, but the second round should make it look better. Try and let me know! I hope it makes sense :)

How do you crochet granny squares with letters where it can look cute on both sides of the blanket?

On average, how long did this take y’all?
I thought if you tend to crochet ‘tight’ (as I do) you should go UPa size, so in this case instead of using a 9 mm hook like her, I’d use a 10mm hook , but she said go down to an 8mm. Can someone clarify this for me a bit? Please😊

How many balls !!??
I completed all my squares and now I'm ready to connect them but I'm struggling to follow along with your video. I feel as though you didn't demonstrate how to connect the squares once you get to the end of the square. You only demonstrate the first two squares and then you jumped to all of your squares being connected. For me it's very confusing and I want to learn the correct way. I've reread your instructions but it's still very unclear and I learn by watching. Can you or someone please give me some pointers in connecting my squares. Thank you

I agree...I wish she would have explained it better in detail and also show in the camera! Mine is almost ready to put together, but I also have squares that do not lay flat at all and her are super flat..how does that work. I think they need to be blocked?
