My mom tried to teach me how to crochet when I was a little girl. I mastered the single stitch, but never understood how to make a granny square. She passed away 10 years ago and I thought the tradition of baby blankets and afghans went with her. I stumbled on your video and you now have me cranking out granny squares and I can't stop! My mom would be so proud. Thank you so much. I look forward to continuing to learn other stitches from you. My mom's hobby feels like my own. 💕

Every one else goes so fast and I thank you so much for being overly repetitive because IT IS NEEDED!!!! I have spent hours crocheting and pausing, crochet and pause and Ive finally got the hang of it. Added this page to my favourites and liking it for easy return. You are a great teacher and I feel so proud of myself for being able to make a square and hopefully continue it on to make my first blanket. Much much MUCH appreciation, it wouldn't have been possible without this video.

You even explained this. The slow and steady pace and the fact that the entire video covered the whole granny square really helped for someone who is self-learning from youtube videos like myself.

This is the best site to learn granny squares. Every other sites I've been to says to do 3 sets of D.C In each corner. I found it to be very crowded and klutzy. Other sites say to go right to the center hole without doing a chain st. It's a big jump! I like your method best. I am, however, having a horrible time getting the right tension. I've watched a couple of sites recommending to hold the yarn in various position. I've tried them all and haven't been able to get the hang of it. Once in a while my stitch looks great with no gaps. I have no idea what I did! I have spent many, many all day marathons trying to get the right tension. Following your instructions my square came out very decent. I love the way it looks, despite that some of my stitches were kind of loose. I hope I can master the tension soon. I haven't really been able to enjoy working on my squares yet. Anybody have any good ideas for getting the right tension?

@JaydaInStitches

Жыл бұрын

hi Roberta! It's just practice...and believe it or not, ignoring the tension. If you focus on the stitches, on the pattern, on turning corners and counting shells etc. but ignore what your yarn-feeding hand is doing, it will literally figure out the best way to hold and feed your yarn on it's own! I know that sounds crazy, but with repeated action, our bodies figure out ways to do things more efficiently, and tendons and muscles adjust to new requirements. It's amazing! It just takes a little time and trust that it will work out...it always does 💗

I am 68 and have knitted over 60 years. Someone recently told me " I don't know how you can't crochet if you can knit. "I have fumbled with hooks but tonight I made my FIRST granny square!!

Hi Jayda; I know that you have a lot of followers ie: friends but I want you to know that with ALL the video's that are on line to pick from, I didn't nor could I find comfort from anyone to teach me. Not to drag this out and bore you to sleep but my husband of 28 years died suddenly from a brain aneurysm on October 1, 2012. from that day forth I was unable to pick up a hook for the life of me, I had crocheted daily and like many you know made weddings gifts, baby shower gifts etc etc but that came to a grinding halt. Until I stumbled on your video. THANK YOU for allowing me to return to what I loved and cherished. The very first night I went to bed and I kept saying over & over I could hear you say " when you go to bed you will be saying " Chain Chain Chain..." And so it began. Know your kindness, gentle way of explaining and not treating many like second hand people. AGAIN gentle hugs to you and thanks for returning a craft which brought smiles to many especially myself since the death of my spouse. Your Hooker Friend for life; Colleen J. Schanz

Thank you SO much for how patient and descriptive and fun this video is. I haven’t crocheted in years and thought I lost my mojo, which made me so sad. Watching your video changed that. I felt like I sat down with a friend who patiently guided me back to something familiar that I love doing. Thank you for awakening my joy again.

Respected tutor your way of teaching crochet is very excellent and ur way of speaking is soft and nice ur are also beautiful lady thanks for teaching crochet

Thank you SO much Jayda! This is by FAR the best tutorial I have found and I've done a lot of looking. I used to do this with my Nanny 50+ years ago, and she gifted all the grandkids blankets. My kids have run off with mine, lol, and I know they're wearing out, but I sure wanted to make new ones for them. I was lost as a goose. I could only recall chain stitching and couldn't figure out the corners to save my life. My entire family will be grateful for your wonderful tutorial. Also, I hope Nanny can somehow see that a gift she has given us is so appreciated still. TY, TY, TY!❤

Hi! Thank you for watching 😊

I'm a knitter and got a bee in my bonnet about making a Granny Square Blanket as well as a top called the Water Clover Top shown in Pom Pom magazine. I was so desperate to get started on my square though that I asked around and borrowed a hook until mine arrive in the mail (everything was closed where I live). I just tried another video and while she took me through all of the motions of completing a square, she left out the explanation for all of it and my square ended up nice but it did seem like the pattern was broken a bit. It was one color so it hid it well. Now I'm doing different colors with your video and, wow, all of the pieces of information you give and the queue words has helped tremendously. You have a great teaching personality. I actually feel like a friendly person is sitting with me kindly coaching me through this. Thanks so much for a helpful video.

Jayda, I'm 66 but always ready t learn something new! Your beginner's tutorial was brilliant!! Your instructions and paused manner and repetitions were just what I needed to finally learn to do a granny square... It took me an hour daily to finally perfect it (despite I had to undo it several times but my resilience and your patience were there with me!! Many thanks !!! I will certainly continue following you!

Yours was the third and best online tutorial I tried when teaching myself how to crochet. My first granny square took a whole day with me pausing your tutorial continuously but, 2 days later, I can knock out 3 granny squares per session (a good film on TV) and I still find myself talking your instructions through in my head. Exactly what was needed so many, many thanks for taking the time! xxx

Ever since I watched this video I have been making granny squares every day! I only learned how to crochet about two weeks before this but you make it very easy and fun, so thank you so much! Eventually I'm going to have to learn how to join them together but for now I'm content making them in tons of color patterns :)

I just want to thank you. Your videos are so wonderful. You go slow enough to help me learn and explain so well. So far I've made an giant basket for my yarn and now im making a blanket. Thank you!

You are a fantastic teacher. Thanks for this video!

You knocked it out of park. Super great tutorial. Granny squares were the first thing I learned to make when I was 8. My great gramma taught all us girls how to crochet 🧶 but just the basics, can’t read a pattern and I have no idea 🤷🏼‍♀️ how to finish a project off. Now, up teen years later I’m trying again. I have a 2yo grandson who I want to make a blanket for. I bought so much stuff on Amazon including two books for beginners but trying to read what to do is harder than I thought. Books are going back to Amazon because the way you teach is so much easier!!! I’m a visual learner so this is perfect for me. Thank You 😊 officially a new subscriber!!
