Crochet granny squares
🔗 1. Choose the Right Join Method for Your Project
Different joining techniques offer different looks and flexibility:
- Slip Stitch Join (through back loops only) – creates a flat seam, ideal for blankets.
- Single Crochet Join – adds a decorative ridge, works well for texture-focused designs.
- Join-As-You-Go (JAYG) – connects squares during the final round, great for speed and a seamless look.
- Whip Stitch Join – sewn with a yarn needle, it’s quick, nearly invisible, and perfect for keeping the focus on the square’s design.
🧵 2. Use a Consistent Yarn and Hook Size
Make sure to use the same yarn weight and hook size as your squares to maintain tension and uniformity in your joins. Mismatched tension can warp your final project.
📏 3. Block Your Squares Before Joining
Blocking each granny square ensures they are all the same size and shape. This makes joining much easier and results in a more professional-looking project.
🎨 4. Plan Your Layout Before Joining
Lay out your squares on a flat surface or use a digital planner. Play with color placement and orientation before making the joins permanent.
✂️ 5. Weave in Ends as You Go
Joining can leave many loose ends. Weaving in tails as you finish each row or section prevents burnout and keeps your project neat and tidy.
