Joining Your Granny Squares with Andee (in person)

You’ve gotten comfortable with crocheting the classic Granny Square, so now it’s time to learn all the tips and tricks for joining your granny squares together to make a blanket or other projects.

 Class will cover 4 methods for joining squares together: Sewing, 2 Crochet joins and a Join-as-you-Go method. We will also cover how to weave in all those ends to create a fabric that is both beautiful and long wearing, plus tricks for blocking and edging your granny square project. For those that want, Andee will show how the 16 squares from the homework can be made into a bag.

Materials for class: 

Pattern: Helen's Yarn Adventure's available on Ravelry

Students will need a crochet hook, size H or I

Yarn needle for sewing in ends and sewing squares

Smooth Worsted Weight Yarn (medium or light colors are best) in quantities as listed in pattern. 

Recommended LYS yarns are: Berroco Ultra Wool, Laramie by Mountain Meadow Wool, Malabrigo Rios, or Universal’s Cotton Supreme.

PRE- WORK BEFORE CLASS:

Using “Helen’s Yarn Adventures” pattern, students need to make 4 squares that are 3 Rounds each and 12 squares that are 4 Rounds each.

These are for practice so you can make your squares all in one color if desired. Leave your tails loose on at least 2 of the squares to practice the end weaving techniques in the class.
