hey gang Jane back today with another fun and stylish crochet granny square tutorial I call this one the graceful

00:07.360 --> 00:14.719
Diamond I love working with geometric patterns and granny squares for me are often like creating designs using puzzle

00:14.719 --> 00:19.840
pieces this geometric Square starts with a small square and then I rotate it so

00:19.840 --> 00:26.119
that the center appears as a diamond very much like a kaleidoscope Design This square has such a versatile look

00:26.119 --> 00:33.280
depending on how many colors you use and where you choose to place them had a lot of fun with the square playing with just

00:33.280 --> 00:38.960

00:53.320 --> 00:59.239
along with inspirational picks detailed close-ups and color variations all right

00:59.239 --> 01:05.080
let's jump into to our graceful Diamond Square tutorial so before we get going let's

01:05.080 --> 01:11.960
just take a look at this Square this is the one we're going to be working on today but this has so many varieties

01:11.960 --> 01:17.960
each one of these was done in a different color combination with a different number of rows done in each

01:17.960 --> 01:23.040
color so the square that's done in eight rounds which it will be today's I'd say

01:23.040 --> 01:29.520
it's a 5 and 1/2 in square this Square can also be done with less rounds these two squares were done with six rounds

01:29.520 --> 01:35.320
same Square just the last two rounds were left off and they are 4 1/2 in and

01:35.320 --> 01:42.920
they're much more simple look to them you can see I did this one in three colors and I did this one in two colors

01:42.920 --> 01:48.079
so lots of variety with the square and again this will be the one that we're doing today so you can see the

01:48.079 --> 01:54.960
difference here and then you can have fun with it by adding even more colors so what I did

01:54.960 --> 02:01.759
with this one four different colors in one round that's how I got this look and then this square right here very simply

02:01.759 --> 02:09.319
is done in two colors the full eight rounds so lots of variety can be done with the square to get different looks

02:09.319 --> 02:16.080
so in the Square we're going to work on today I have four colors so here I have a barley color this is an off-white

02:16.080 --> 02:21.440
color then I have a charcoal and then this color is Clay I'll list all the

02:21.440 --> 02:29.000
names of the colors and the yarn over on the blog post so we have eight rounds and it's a 5 1/2 in square I'll be using

02:29.000 --> 02:34.800
a worsted weight yarn today a 5 mm crochet hook and you'll also want a pair

02:34.800 --> 02:41.040
of scissors and a daring needle we are going to work our ends in as we go but

02:41.040 --> 02:47.159
you always need the darning needle to help us do that we're going to start with our barley color and I'm going to

02:47.159 --> 02:52.800
do a magic ring so we lay the yaron across our Palm cut in facing us holding

02:52.800 --> 03:00.400
in place with your thumb in your first finger wrapping around your first two fingers underneath cross crossing over

03:00.400 --> 03:05.760
hold it with your thumb back over the next three fingers

03:05.760 --> 03:12.560
so everything is held in place now you're going to take your hook and go under the first strand over the second

03:12.560 --> 03:17.720
strand pulling it underneath and twisting your hook so it's nice and

03:17.720 --> 03:24.920
twisted on there to hold it in place now the Strand that's over our third finger we go underneath that hook it and pull

03:24.920 --> 03:32.959
it through the loop on the hook and we've created our magic ring and we're ready ready for round one round one is

03:32.959 --> 03:38.400
going to be half double crochets so we start with a chain two that represents

03:38.400 --> 03:46.360
our first half double crochet since we already have a chain one on there we only need to do one more so that is now

03:46.360 --> 03:53.920
our chain two that represents our first half double crochet we're going to work 11 more half double crochets into this

03:53.920 --> 04:02.000
ring half double crochet is yarn over your hook insert into to the loop yarn

04:02.000 --> 04:08.480
over pull up a loop three loops on the hook yarn over and pull through all

04:08.480 --> 04:17.160
three loops on the hook there's your first half double crochet which actually means we have two in there you want 12

04:17.160 --> 04:22.600
total so we need to do 10 more into this

04:24.400 --> 04:31.039
ring one more two more and make sure you have

04:31.039 --> 04:40.039
lots of yarn so it doesn't interfere with your tension I'm just going to make a few here and then we'll count

04:40.199 --> 04:45.639
them so I find if I count slowly I always mess it

04:50.560 --> 04:55.880
up so let's see how many we have on here so I'm actually going to count the V

04:55.880 --> 05:02.400
stitches here it's all it's easier than counting these post cuz they're very short and I'm going to start up here and make

05:02.400 --> 05:12.680
sure that you count that chain two as well so 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 and 10 is that

05:12.680 --> 05:22.120
chain two I only need two more one and

05:22.120 --> 05:28.160
two all right we're ready to pull up our magic ring for round one I hold it with

05:28.160 --> 05:34.240
my finger and thumb of the same hand I have the hook in and I pull on this cut

05:34.240 --> 05:40.919
end right here pulling on it gently and slowly to cinch this hole

05:40.919 --> 05:47.560
in try to hold that yarn that you're working with a little bit away there so it doesn't got knotted in and just pull

05:47.560 --> 05:53.160
it so it's nice and firm and closed up now we want to finish off this round and

05:53.160 --> 06:00.080
I'll be changing my color so I am going to cut my yarn and do an invisible join

06:00.080 --> 06:07.440
so cut it about 3 to 4 in now we want our darning

06:07.440 --> 06:13.960
needle pull the yarn through with your hook and let's do an invisible join put

06:13.960 --> 06:20.120
that yarn on your darning needle you want to skip over the chain two that's

06:20.120 --> 06:26.039
here go under the two Loops of the first actual half double

06:26.039 --> 06:33.520
crochet pull your yarn through gently not too tight and come back and go into

06:33.520 --> 06:38.759
the Stitch you came out of going down to Loops

06:38.759 --> 06:44.000
behind pulling that through and what you want it to look like is all the other

06:44.000 --> 06:49.280
stitches so there you are you have your invisible joint now I want to darn this

06:49.280 --> 06:56.240
in so it's out of my way what I do is where I went in I come back up into the

06:56.240 --> 07:01.800
invisible stitch which is the Stitch that I made just now right through the

07:01.800 --> 07:06.919
center of it pulling it nice and firm but not too tight don't want to mess up

07:06.919 --> 07:12.479
my tension go back down into the Stitch behind it and that gives it a little

07:12.479 --> 07:20.000
Loop and secures it and as I say to everybody it really does cuz when I try to pull these out I can never find it

07:20.000 --> 07:25.720
and then we just go through the back Loops only of maybe halfway around our Circle

07:25.720 --> 07:31.199
or maybe all the way this will all get worked into the next round so it stays

07:31.199 --> 07:37.199
nice and secure so that one is now worked in and

07:37.199 --> 07:42.639
I can cut it and on the back I still have this one

07:42.639 --> 07:48.639
I started with I'm going to work that in as well so it's out of my way

07:48.639 --> 07:54.879
now this is the one that I pulled up the ring with so I'm going to go continue

07:54.879 --> 08:01.479
around that ring so going under all these stitches in that first round and

08:01.479 --> 08:08.800
I'm going to continue around in a circle might feel tight but that's okay

08:08.800 --> 08:15.560
because if it's tight that means it'll stay put and I go all the way around at least once again give it a little

08:15.560 --> 08:22.919
tug and you can either keep going around again or you can turn around and go the other way it's personal preference I

08:22.919 --> 08:30.919
actually find if I even just go around a little bit more it's in there good and solid

08:34.240 --> 08:39.399
round one is finished round number two I'll be using

08:39.399 --> 08:45.560
my putty yarn and I'll be using it for the next two rounds in this case so let me pull back in the one that we are

08:45.560 --> 08:52.120
working on this Center piece right here is right here now we're going to do the

08:52.120 --> 08:58.959
next two rounds in putty before we change to the charcoal which will be in round four so I take my putty and I'm

08:58.959 --> 09:05.399
going to join join in any one of these stitches with a single crochet and I like to do a standing single crochet so

09:05.399 --> 09:11.240
I hold my yarn at the back and around my finger I put my hook underneath it and

09:11.240 --> 09:17.880
loop it onto the hook just over just a yarn over insert into any one of the

09:17.880 --> 09:25.200
stitches going under the cut end at the back yarn over and pull up I have the

09:25.200 --> 09:30.279
two Loops yarn over pull through two and that's my standing single crochet I do

09:30.279 --> 09:37.720
another single crochet in the next Stitch I forgot to mention this but I will be working over top of my cut end

09:37.720 --> 09:46.040
for this round and you can see it in this picture here so I have two now and this next

09:46.040 --> 09:51.240
will be my corner and that's going to be a half double crochet chain three half

09:51.240 --> 09:59.880
double crochet into that one stitch half double crochet chain

09:59.880 --> 10:07.720
three and half double crochet so right off the bat we have the

10:07.720 --> 10:15.720
first Edge and corner of our Square now we're going to move on to the next Edge and that is simply single crochet in the

10:15.720 --> 10:22.160
next Stitch and single crochet in the next Stitch so two single crochets one in

10:22.160 --> 10:27.240
each Stitch and our next corner has arrived half double

10:27.240 --> 10:34.440
crochet chain three and half double

10:35.680 --> 10:41.120
crochet so there we have two corners and two edges we only have two more of those

10:41.120 --> 10:46.880
to do to finish our Square single crochet in the next Stitch

10:46.880 --> 10:52.800
and single crochet in the next Stitch next corner is here we'll do a half

10:52.800 --> 11:00.959
double crochet chain three and a half double crochet

11:01.560 --> 11:06.880
now I didn't really talk about this as I was doing it but I held the yarn at the back the entire way around here and just

11:06.880 --> 11:14.440
worked over top of it this time it was just simply working over the yarn and as you can see on the back it's

11:14.440 --> 11:21.480
worked in nothing fancy with that one just working over top of it we're going to finish off this round with single

11:21.480 --> 11:27.519
crochet and a single crochet one in each of the next two stitches when you get

11:27.519 --> 11:33.079
back to that Stitch where you did the visible join because we Loop the the yarn around it it can be a little hard

11:33.079 --> 11:40.160
to get into sometimes so you just kind of work your way into it and we should have one stitch left and that's going to

11:40.160 --> 11:46.519
be our Corner half double crochet chain three

11:46.519 --> 11:53.120
and a half double crochet now I'm going to use this color

11:53.120 --> 11:59.519
on the next round so I do not need to fasten off but I do need to slip stitch join so go into that first single

11:59.519 --> 12:04.920
crochet with your hook and slip stitch join by just pulling the Aron through

12:04.920 --> 12:11.760
and through the loop on the hook and you have completed round number two round number three is fairly simple

12:11.760 --> 12:17.680
it's all single crochet and you're just going to do single crochet chain three single crochet

12:17.680 --> 12:23.000
Corners so we start with a chain one we single crochet in that first Stitch that

12:23.000 --> 12:30.560
we joined in single crochet in each of the next two stitches

12:30.560 --> 12:36.120
and that gives us three single crochets so far in the corner we're going to do

12:36.120 --> 12:42.920
single crochet chain three single

12:42.920 --> 12:48.519
crochet now we're going to work a single crochet in each of the next four this

12:48.519 --> 12:53.720
gets tricky because these half double crochets the tops of their stitches lie

12:53.720 --> 12:58.760
to the right of the Stitch whereas most of them although they are laying to the

12:58.760 --> 13:04.959
right the half double crochet seems to do it even more than any other Stitch so it

13:04.959 --> 13:11.000
can actually be hard to see that that's a stitch so your first Stitch is right

13:11.000 --> 13:17.600
here right above that half double crochet and you feel kind of like you're working in the chain space but you're

13:17.600 --> 13:23.639
not because there is a little bit of the Strand you've gone into there so you

13:23.639 --> 13:30.240
want to go under the two Loops at the top of this half double crochet that's where your first first single crochet

13:30.240 --> 13:35.639
will work and then we work three

13:35.639 --> 13:42.519
more so you'll have a total of four across that edge and we've reached our next Corner

13:42.519 --> 13:48.959
which will be single crochet chain three single crochet so go right into there

13:48.959 --> 13:54.279
chain three and then another single crochet so see how we've got single

13:54.279 --> 14:00.519
crochet chain three single crochet corner and we're on to our next Edge and

14:00.519 --> 14:06.440
again we're going to do four single crochets one in each Stitch so look for

14:06.440 --> 14:13.680
that first one it's right there and then we go one single

14:13.680 --> 14:20.959
crochet two three and four now we're back to our

14:20.959 --> 14:26.920
next corner I'm going to get a little more yarn I'm working with a ball this time which I don't normally do I like to

14:26.920 --> 14:32.120
hand wrap them and this is where all over my desk so if it rolls into the

14:32.120 --> 14:38.920
picture then you know why next corner will be single crochet chain

14:38.920 --> 14:45.680
three and single crochet we're getting there next Edge

14:45.680 --> 14:50.639
single crochet in each of the next four

14:51.880 --> 14:59.839
stitches one 2 3

14:59.839 --> 15:06.680
and four this is our last Corner single crochet chain

15:06.680 --> 15:15.040
three single crochet so we started right here and we

15:15.040 --> 15:22.160
worked three single crochets so we actually have a single crochet to work before we do our slip stitch join round

15:22.160 --> 15:27.680
so we go right into this first half double crochet from the previous

15:27.680 --> 15:33.920
round and we work a single crochet we can either do a slip stitch

15:33.920 --> 15:41.519
join to join our round or we can do an invisible join because I'm not using this color again not for the next round

15:41.519 --> 15:47.800
anyways so I'm going to go ahead and cut it about 4 in I give myself lots of room

15:47.800 --> 15:53.440
there to darn in bring in my darning needle and put the Yon on

15:53.440 --> 16:02.199
it and then again I'm going to do a invisible joint that's what I like to do so taking my yarn I go and I skip over

16:02.199 --> 16:07.680
this first single crochet cuz I will be imitating a stitch over top of it and I

16:07.680 --> 16:16.800
go to the second single crochet go under the two Loops pull my needle through come back

16:16.800 --> 16:23.160
to the Stitch I came out of go in and go two

16:23.399 --> 16:28.639
down see how that works really well and then I come up through the

16:28.639 --> 16:35.680
middle middle of that one just to secure it go back down the one behind and then

16:35.680 --> 16:42.560
I go into the back Loops only to darn my end

16:43.240 --> 16:48.319
in and I'll do that across to the corner and then down

16:48.319 --> 16:53.759
the next side as well and that will probably be good

16:53.759 --> 17:00.839
because again that will all get worked into my piece I will trim my yarn

17:01.199 --> 17:08.319
and we're ready to do round four so we've done three rounds so far

17:08.319 --> 17:13.600
still just working on this Square we haven't got to the diamond part yet so

17:13.600 --> 17:21.678
let's look where we are we've done the square so in order to see it properly I need to rotate it like the diamond right

17:21.679 --> 17:27.280
we still have this row of charcoal to do before we start to do the diamond

17:27.280 --> 17:32.840
shaping so let's go ahead and do the charcoal we take our charcoal and we can

17:32.840 --> 17:38.440
join in any one of these Corners because we can join where we want now so I'm going to go into one of these chain

17:38.440 --> 17:46.080
three corners and I'm going to do a standing single crochet so I wrap my yarn first go into this chain three

17:46.080 --> 17:52.240
space yarn over and pull up a loop and complete my single crochet now I'm just

17:52.240 --> 17:59.960
going to hold my yarn be the back of the work because again this is all single crochets so I'm going to work six single

17:59.960 --> 18:07.440
crochets across this Edge to the next corner so that is

18:08.880 --> 18:15.840
one 2

18:15.840 --> 18:20.880
3 4

18:20.880 --> 18:26.280
5 and six we started here in the corner and

18:26.280 --> 18:33.080
I've done six single crochet across which will will give me a total of seven single crochets we've reached our next

18:33.080 --> 18:40.880
corner and in this corner I do a single crochet chain three and a single

18:40.880 --> 18:46.640
crochet and that's what we're going to do all the way around six single crochet

18:46.640 --> 18:52.760
and then a corner of single crochet chain three single crochet so I'm just going to go quiet so that you can watch

18:52.760 --> 18:58.039
me do this this round is one of the simpler ones

18:59.610 --> 19:03.049
[Music]

19:20.150 --> 19:23.469
[Music]

19:29.290 --> 19:41.450
[Music]

19:43.730 --> 19:50.139
[Music]

19:53.140 --> 19:59.299
[Music]

20:01.520 --> 20:08.240
[Music] so we've reached the end of our round

20:08.240 --> 20:14.400
that's the end of our six single crochets we're back to the chain three we joined in so we work a single crochet

20:14.400 --> 20:19.440
in that same chain three then we chain three

20:19.440 --> 20:24.679
again and we do a slip stitch so I do a slip stitch now cuz when I end with a

20:24.679 --> 20:32.280
chain I usually do a slip stitch I don't do the invisible one we slip stitch in that first single

20:32.280 --> 20:38.760
crochet and we're finished we cut our yarn cuz I'm not using the charcoal

20:38.760 --> 20:44.320
again pull it through get your darning needle and get

20:44.320 --> 20:50.000
it on the yarn and what we do here is we're just going to do a simple through the back

20:50.000 --> 20:55.480
Loops only so I usually go back down into the first single crochet that I

20:55.480 --> 21:02.600
just slip stitched into and then I go into the back Loops only all the way

21:02.600 --> 21:12.400
across and then I will go around the corner cuz I like to put it a little extra in and go down the next

21:12.720 --> 21:18.520
Edge and the more you do it the more you just loopy loopy loop and it really works

21:18.520 --> 21:27.960
nicely so then I stretch it back to the proper cuz it'll pull it out a shape a little and I cut it

21:30.760 --> 21:36.120
and we're ready to go on to round five and do our shaping of the

21:36.120 --> 21:41.320
diamond okay it's time now for our Square to become a diamond so let's pull

21:41.320 --> 21:46.679
this one in there you can see there's our square and now we're going to be

21:46.679 --> 21:52.159
working this Diamond D shape around it basically we're just pivoting it from a

21:52.159 --> 21:58.039
square this way to a square this way our next color is going to be this clay

21:58.039 --> 22:04.559
color so this will be the most fun round of the entire Square now in this case we're going to join our clay in a

22:04.559 --> 22:09.840
specific spot not just any spot but we want to join it in the first single

22:09.840 --> 22:16.360
crochet of the last round and if you can't find that first single crochet because we did darn our ends in what I

22:16.360 --> 22:22.559
want you to do is just join it in the first single crochet after any of these chain three spaces so it doesn't really

22:22.559 --> 22:27.880
matter if it's the first single crochet of the previous round it's just the easiest way to find it so we're going to

22:27.880 --> 22:35.520
do a standing single crochet in that first single crochet after the chain three so wrap your yarn around insert

22:35.520 --> 22:41.320
into that Stitch and under the cut end and complete your single crochet there's

22:41.320 --> 22:48.799
going to be chain stitches throughout this one so I want to work my end in and I will be working it up and down weaving

22:48.799 --> 22:54.039
it into this round so we take the cut end and we bring it up to the top across

22:54.039 --> 23:00.400
the working yarn and we chain one then we bring it back back down and the next

23:00.400 --> 23:08.159
Stitch is going to be a half double crochet so I'm going to wrap the Yon around my hook including the cut

23:08.159 --> 23:14.559
end and then I come back and I work into the next Stitch and I go under the cut

23:14.559 --> 23:20.440
end there as well so super wrapped into this Stitch yarn over pull up a loop

23:20.440 --> 23:28.039
you've got a whole lot going on here yarn over and pull through all of it then we're going to bring our cut in

23:28.039 --> 23:34.440
back pop across the working yarn and chain one now we're bringing it back down

23:34.440 --> 23:40.279
again I don't have a lot left so this will probably be the last Stitch I work it into and we're going to do a double

23:40.279 --> 23:46.640
crochet into the next Stitch so yarn under and all of this including the cut

23:46.640 --> 23:52.960
end goes around it go into the next Stitch and go under your cut yarn pull

23:52.960 --> 23:59.840
up a loop yarn over and pull through the first two including that cut yarn you

23:59.840 --> 24:04.880
have two Loops left on the hook yarn over and pull through those two now I'm

24:04.880 --> 24:12.760
going to leave my cut end B just leave it it's worked in nicely up and down all through here chain

24:12.760 --> 24:18.039
one and the next Stitch will be a treble so twice around the

24:18.039 --> 24:24.400
hook and then you insert into the Stitch yarn over pull up a loop trebles are

24:24.400 --> 24:30.520
yarn over pull through two yarn over pull through two two and yarn over pull

24:30.520 --> 24:37.760
through the last two now we chain three and then we're going to reverse

24:37.760 --> 24:44.279
what we just did here along here so starting with a treble twice around the

24:44.279 --> 24:51.960
hook insert into the next Stitch yarn over pull up a loop yarn over pull

24:51.960 --> 24:58.600
through two yarn over pull through two and yarn over pull through the last two

24:58.600 --> 25:04.320
chain one now we do a double into the next

25:04.320 --> 25:11.080
Stitch so a double crochet chain one and a half double

25:11.080 --> 25:17.919
crochet in the next one chain one always a chain one in

25:17.919 --> 25:25.240
between the stitches except up between the two trebles you've got a chain three so after a chain one we finish

25:25.240 --> 25:31.080
with a single crochet in the next Stitch so you're working into every one of these

25:31.080 --> 25:37.880
stitches complete your single crochet so now I'm going to work a chain one and

25:37.880 --> 25:44.440
we're going to skip over this chain three space right here and we're going to single crochet into that stitch on

25:44.440 --> 25:50.279
the other side of the chain three just a single crochet let's take a look here at

25:50.279 --> 25:56.919
what we've done we've gone up to a corner and back down again chain ones in

25:56.919 --> 26:05.320
between each Stitch and a chain three up here for the new corner of our Square when we got to this corner we did

26:05.320 --> 26:13.279
just a chain one skipped over all that chain three space and did a single crochet into here now we're going to

26:13.279 --> 26:20.000
repeat what we did here so let's do this again chain one and we're going to work

26:20.000 --> 26:30.080
a half double crochet in the next Stitch chain one a double crochet in the next Stitch

26:30.080 --> 26:37.360
and a chain one and now a treble into the next Stitch and this takes us to our

26:37.360 --> 26:43.440
new corner so from here we do chain three that's the new corner of our

26:43.440 --> 26:50.520
square and we do a treble in the next Stitch we are only doing one stitch in

26:50.520 --> 26:55.840
every Stitch across but there's always these chain stitches in between double

26:55.840 --> 27:02.520
crochet in the next Stitch chain one half double crochet in the

27:02.520 --> 27:10.840
next Stitch chain one and a single crochet in this last

27:10.840 --> 27:16.919
Stitch and chain one we're going to skip over this chain three corner here from

27:16.919 --> 27:23.880
the previous row or round and we're going to work a single crochet into the stitch on the other

27:23.880 --> 27:29.080
side of it let's take a look again

27:29.080 --> 27:34.919
now we've done two edges of our square and we've created two new corners in the

27:34.919 --> 27:40.760
middle of those edges so once again let's look at the one we had before see

27:40.760 --> 27:46.360
how it fits right into here this is what we're working on now we've rotated the

27:46.360 --> 27:52.840
square and we're creating a new Square so now we have a diamond in the middle let's do another one I'll walk you all

27:52.840 --> 27:58.919
the way through this one because it it is the trickiest round chain one

27:58.919 --> 28:07.399
half double crochet in the next Stitch chain one you're going to hear a lot of chain ones double crochet in the next

28:07.399 --> 28:13.360
Stitch chain one and a treble in the next

28:13.360 --> 28:18.480
Stitch chain three this time 2 three and

28:18.480 --> 28:22.120
another treble in the next

28:23.960 --> 28:29.559
Stitch make sure you have enough yarn so it's not pulling too much on you here chain chain

28:29.559 --> 28:38.640
one double crochet in the next Stitch chain one half double crochet in

28:38.640 --> 28:46.600
the next Stitch chain one and single crochet in the next Stitch chain one

28:46.600 --> 28:51.840
skip over this chain three space right here and work a single crochet on the

28:51.840 --> 28:58.799
other side of it into that first Stitch it'll feel like there's a lot going on in here but it fits in don't worry and

28:58.799 --> 29:04.320
we'll be working a long single crochet into this space on the next round just

29:04.320 --> 29:11.320
to give you a little preview of what's coming so chain one half double crochet in the next

29:11.320 --> 29:17.120
Stitch chain one double crochet in the next Stitch

29:17.120 --> 29:24.360
chain one and treble in the next Stitch chain

29:24.360 --> 29:29.679
three treble in the next Stitch

29:29.679 --> 29:36.080
chain one double crochet in the next Stitch

29:36.080 --> 29:43.600
chain one and half double crochet chain one we're coming up to the

29:43.600 --> 29:50.600
end here single crochet in the next Stitch that's the last one of that edge

29:50.600 --> 29:56.399
chain one and now you want to slip stitch in the first single crochet of

29:56.399 --> 30:02.360
the round so so because I do standing single crochets they're not as easy to get into you have to remember to leave

30:02.360 --> 30:08.360
them loose so I just pull through a loop and pull through the one on the hook we're going to continue with this color

30:08.360 --> 30:14.600
in the next round so I don't need to cut it off so we finished round five and that was the most complicated round of

30:14.600 --> 30:21.240
this Square the next three rounds are all going to be very similar we've done this clay round now and we're going to

30:21.240 --> 30:28.600
do another round of the clay just to square it out nicely I find see how it's a touch wonky here going to be doing

30:28.600 --> 30:35.279
long single crochets I'll show you when we get there and it's going to make the square nice and square and then we're

30:35.279 --> 30:41.279
going to do two more rounds as a border if you called I showed you these two they literally will do the next round

30:41.279 --> 30:47.279
and then that would be it for them so you could stop after the next round but I like to go ahead and put the two extra

30:47.279 --> 30:52.960
rounds on for the border so round six will be slip

30:52.960 --> 30:58.880
stitching into the next chain space cuz we want to get over there we're only going to be working in chain spaces from

30:58.880 --> 31:04.320
now on so we slip stitched into that first chain space of the previous round

31:04.320 --> 31:10.240
chain one and work a single crochet in that same chain

31:10.240 --> 31:16.320
space now we chain one and single crochet in the next chain

31:16.320 --> 31:21.559
space chain one single crochet in the next chain

31:21.559 --> 31:27.200
space chain one and we've reached our new Corner in this corner we will work a

31:27.200 --> 31:32.840
single crochet cret chain three and a single

31:32.840 --> 31:39.039
crochet now we're working across our first full Edge chain one single crochet

31:39.039 --> 31:46.240
in the next chain space chain one single crochet in the next chain space and

31:46.240 --> 31:54.960
chain one single crochet in this next chain space and chain one now we've reached

31:54.960 --> 32:00.880
this peak of our previous Square it's actually the the corner of our previous square but peak of our Diamond this is

32:00.880 --> 32:07.799
where I want to work a long single crochet so we've done the chain one we're going to take our hook and go into

32:07.799 --> 32:14.159
the chain three space of round four so going into the charcoal chain three

32:14.159 --> 32:20.039
space yarn over and pull up a loop and pull it up to your current round now

32:20.039 --> 32:26.360
it's not very far but it's a little bit longer than you would normally do so just making sure that your hook is

32:26.360 --> 32:32.039
parallel horizontal and you want to finish a single crochet so yarn over and

32:32.039 --> 32:37.679
pull through both that's a long single crochet because it goes over top of the

32:37.679 --> 32:44.320
previous round and goes into the round before that like two rounds below this Stitch is also referred to as a spike

32:44.320 --> 32:51.559
Stitch we'll do around this corner and I'll show you another one here so chain one and back to single crochets regular

32:51.559 --> 33:01.120
single crochets into the chain spaces of the previous round single crochet crochet chain

33:01.120 --> 33:08.000
one single crochet chain one and we're back to our new Corner single

33:08.000 --> 33:13.840
crochet chain three oops two and three

33:13.840 --> 33:20.919
single crochet and we're going to work our way across this Edge now chain one single

33:20.919 --> 33:27.399
crochet in the next chain space chain one single crochet in the chain space

33:27.399 --> 33:33.600
chain one and single crochet in this chain space and chain one now we've

33:33.600 --> 33:39.399
reached this peak of our diamond we want to take our hook go from front to back

33:39.399 --> 33:44.639
into that chain three space of the charcoal and you're working over top of

33:44.639 --> 33:51.480
all these rounds yarn over pull up a loop pulling it up to the same level as

33:51.480 --> 33:58.039
this one yarn over and pull through that's your long single crochet chain

33:58.039 --> 34:05.080
one and we continue to work regular single crochets chain ones until we

34:05.080 --> 34:11.358
reach our next Corner always working into these chain spaces not the

34:11.359 --> 34:18.720
stitches here I am back to the next chain three so single crochet chain

34:18.720 --> 34:25.679
three single crochet so we've now work down this corner across our first Edge

34:25.679 --> 34:33.599
to a corner and across our second Edge to a corner now all we have left to do is this Edge and half of this Edge so

34:33.599 --> 34:40.919
I'll go quiet and just finish this up and you can watch me do the regular stitches

34:43.830 --> 34:47.260
[Music]

35:04.360 --> 35:07.679
[Music]

35:13.500 --> 35:25.659
[Music]

35:27.940 --> 35:34.359
[Music]

35:37.350 --> 35:43.510
[Music]

35:44.440 --> 35:50.960
so I've come around to the end of my square and I'm going to end with a long single

35:50.960 --> 35:56.680
crochet so see I've done the chain one go into that chain three space working

35:56.680 --> 36:02.079
over top of everything thing pull up a loop to the same height complete your

36:02.079 --> 36:08.560
single crochet chain one and then we'll slip stitch in the

36:08.560 --> 36:17.200
first single crochet of the round and that completes round six so

36:17.200 --> 36:22.359
I'm going to cut my yarn and I'm going to work it in because

36:22.359 --> 36:28.480
you can see as I'm going I'm keeping the back as clean as the front

36:28.480 --> 36:35.680
so I go down into the next Stitch and I go down a few strands if I can find them

36:35.680 --> 36:41.040
just to secure it in there and then I bring it back

36:41.040 --> 36:45.880
up and then I will go through the back Loops

36:47.599 --> 36:56.960
only and I go around the corner and I go to the next Edge

36:59.839 --> 37:06.359
go about halfway up pull it back into shape and then trim that off and there

37:06.359 --> 37:12.240
we have round six completed these are the same squares this is done in two

37:12.240 --> 37:19.000
colors and this is done in four colors and then to give you another example this one here this one is done in three

37:19.000 --> 37:25.079
colors this one's done in four just different placement of the colors you can get so many different looks so we're

37:25.079 --> 37:30.560
ready for our last two rounds and they are actually the same same round as what we just did without the long single

37:30.560 --> 37:37.520
crochet in it and each one just increases by one stitch so the next round I'm going to

37:37.520 --> 37:43.720
use the putty so bringing in my putty iron I'm going to join in the corner I like to

37:43.720 --> 37:52.480
join in the corners when I do new colors because it just keeps things clean so standing single crochet in this

37:52.480 --> 37:57.560
corner and then we do a chain one and I'm going to work my end in as I go so

37:57.560 --> 38:03.040
taking the cut end up over the working yarn I do my chain stitch bringing the

38:03.040 --> 38:09.960
cut end back down and working a single crochet into this next chain space

38:09.960 --> 38:15.319
working over top of the cut end then I bring it up and across my

38:15.319 --> 38:21.680
working yarn chain one and bring it back down across my working yarn single

38:21.680 --> 38:28.960
crochet in the next chain space and we keep working that way all the way across bringing my cut end up and I'll take it

38:28.960 --> 38:37.400
all the way to the next corner I think it'll go that far single crochet in the chain spaces and creating a new chain

38:37.400 --> 38:43.280
space for this round bringing the iron back down and working into the next

38:43.280 --> 38:49.040
chain space so all single crochets regular single crochets and

38:49.040 --> 38:54.800
chain spaces in between oh I almost I almost have it

38:54.800 --> 39:04.560
worked in this will probably be the last place I do it sing single crochet over top of it and I'm just going to leave it at the back chain one single crochet

39:04.560 --> 39:10.359
chain one single crochet in the next chain space chain one and now I've reached my

39:10.359 --> 39:17.800
corner the corners will be single crochet chain three single

39:17.800 --> 39:23.880
crochet and that is what this entire round will be single crochet chain ones

39:23.880 --> 39:30.760
in each of these chain spaces of the previous round with a corner single crochet chain three single crochet I'm

39:30.760 --> 39:36.920
going to continue to work around but I won't talk and you can just watch me work if you know what you're doing no problem you can skip ahead and I'll see

39:36.920 --> 39:44.170
you at the next round [Music]

40:01.270 --> 40:04.590
[Music]

40:10.410 --> 40:22.569
[Music]

40:24.860 --> 40:31.269
[Music]

40:34.260 --> 40:40.419
[Music]

40:42.630 --> 41:18.099
[Music]

41:35.920 --> 41:41.480
now we're back to our where we joined it to finish off this round single crochet

41:41.480 --> 41:46.920
in that same chain three space we joined in chain

41:46.920 --> 41:52.440
three and slip stitch in your first single

41:52.440 --> 41:58.799
crochet we're finished with this yarn so we can cut it off

42:00.520 --> 42:05.680
darn that in the back Loops now you could again stop at the square right

42:05.680 --> 42:11.560
here it looks great like that I do one more round with the charcoal just want

42:11.560 --> 42:18.119
to show you the difference in my Yar balls what's happening bouncing back here this is my clay and I hand roll

42:18.119 --> 42:25.680
these it's kind of like a yarn Winder but I do it by hand and they're Center PS that's what I like this one I pulled

42:25.680 --> 42:32.119
out and I had done it in a ball it's been bouncing around my desk the whole time and this one's been sitting

42:32.119 --> 42:38.040
very nicely I have a video tutorial on how to make these hand wound ones these center poles but you can use a yarn

42:38.040 --> 42:45.000
Winder as well they're so handy because they don't bounce around your work area and wind themselves up with all the

42:45.000 --> 42:51.680
other yarn they sit and they behave so I'll go ahead here and put my yarn in

42:51.680 --> 42:57.599
get it out of my way so I can start the final round this one I'll probably just go all the way across the top top cuz

42:57.599 --> 43:05.720
that's a good piece and then I'm going to cut

43:06.480 --> 43:12.319
it so round number eight I'm going to use my charcoal I can join in any one of

43:12.319 --> 43:18.640
these chain three spaces again and you can make the square as big as you want adding these rounds on now keep in mind

43:18.640 --> 43:25.559
the larger you make a granny square the more it's op to skew if you're only working from one side in One Direction

43:25.559 --> 43:31.040
so I usually find by the time I've reached about 9 in that's when the square starts to have a little mind of

43:31.040 --> 43:38.000
its own but I like to do a few border rounds just to give the colors some pop

43:38.000 --> 43:43.160
so I join it with a single crochet in any one of these

43:43.160 --> 43:51.440
corners and then I work my yon in the same way as I did on the previous round chain one Bring It Back Down single

43:51.440 --> 43:56.760
