How To Crochet a Granny Square by Lori Holt
There are three videos in this series,
also showing how to use her blocking board
and how to make this pincushion.
Lori Holt makes picture perfect granny squares!
I taught myself to make these many years ago and have found what works for me.
In these photos I am using worsted weight yarn and my 5.5mm hook.
I start my granny squares with a combination chain and magic loop:
Then I work my rounds in the same 3 double crochet, chain two clusters.
I like to I slip my two ends into the corners of my rounds.
I choose the corner before my last ending one.
I think this makes a starting chain that looks more like a real double crochet
in my corner clusters.
are well secured under the corner clusters.
Like in quilting, I do what works for me in my happy place, but I love seeing how others make their blocks.
Do you have your own crochet methods to share?
I love to learn new things.
What are you sewing or stitching this week?
Please show us your work!
