Granny square?

Well, now that I'm here I am going to ask tons of questions! :-)

The granny square is the easiest crocheted square, right? Well, I must admit
I cannot do it. For some reason it gets all crumpled, not flat as it should
be.

Please - does someone have directions that work? I tried some from several
websites and ended up frustrated with "furry balls" as my husband called
those trys when he saw them :-) or :-(

Also, while I'm at it - how should I choose the size of the hook? Should it
be wider than the yarn? I think the yarn we have here doesn't have hook
sizes listed..

I never found Granny's as easy as I was always led to believe. I think they
are more difficult because you are stopping (cutting) and starting each
round.

try using one color, might make it easier for the first one

Jacqueline,

I was going to suggest the same thing, I usually make my first five or six
rounds the same color, then add a different one for the last round, unless you
do like I do sometims, real lazy, just keep on going until you have about 32
rounds.

Hugs,

Nora

I actually hate making granny squares, but when I DO, which is RARE, I'll
do them in one color, too!

Hi Noreen,

I do the continuous one as I'm just plain lazy and it does work up fast and no
stitching the squares together.

Hugs,

Nora

Dear Shulamit,

How is the square coming? You've got me curious! (not hard to do lol. I'm
like JJ's kittens)

Hugs,
Cori
