We all love to crochet granny squares. I know I’m always super excited to try out new patterns to see if I can do it. Or maybe you started that granny square afghan and make all the squares, but you never finished it. Sound familiar? This video is for you.
If you’ve accumulated a stash of squares, follow this video tutorial to see just how easy it is to connect your squares. Really, this video is easy to follow and the squares connect so neatly. There won’t be a good excuse to “knot” connect your squares after watching this tutorial. Your new goal? Finish that afghan once and for all!
Join your squares to create something new. You can connect the squares to make a pillow, a vest – you name it. This video shows how to make a pillow, but the technique is the same for any project.
Learn two of the many joining methods. There is the overcast stitch, which is a simple and effective way to join squares quickly. Or, you can actually single crochet the edges together if you don’t want the joining yarn to show. Do you have any other ideas for granny square projects? We’d love to hear how creative you are!
Which do you prefer: the overcast stitch or the sewn look?

Although I like the single crochet method of joining, it’s not the only one I use.
I like the zig zag slip stitch method..alternating back and forth between the squares (or panels in a mile-a-minute)pulling the yarn up from underneath. Gives it kind of a “rick-rack” look…and when done in a contrasting color, can add some ‘pop’ to the blanket.
i too join squares by zigzag stitch two or three chains and a slip stitch on the other sqaure.
I’m not sure why we keep getting news articles constantly this game gets an extraordinary bug. When I used to play Everquest back in the day EQ had plenty of an bugs, but the only time that it seemed to hit websites for a bug was these people upgraded the graphics mechanised, and all our character’s clothes vanished. Ah, good times…
