In this video I show you step by step how to crochet the C2C Granny Square (how to... | By Hooked by Robin | This is a fantastic square. It's a square a corner to corner granny square that stays square which in itself is quite an impressive thing because we all know how these have a tendency to be a little bit wonky or sometimes flare out but this pattern doesn't do that and you're going to learn why in just a moment. So let's leap straight on in to the tutorial. To begin pop a slipknot onto your hook. Then chain four. Then join with a slip stitch to that very first chain you made to form a tiny little ring. Chain four. And then into that little ring you're going to work three double crochet stitches. So one, to and three. Those three double crochet stitches form a granny cluster. Now to end this first row, we're going to end with an extended double crochet worked back into that central ring. So to work your extended double crochet, yarn over, go into that ring, pull up a loop, and you'll have a three loops on your hook. Now yarn over and pull through that very first loop only. So you'll still have a three loops on your hook. Then you can work off the double crochet as normal. So yarn over, pull through two. Yarn over, pull through two. So you have your chain four, your granny cluster and then an extended double crochet to finish. For row two, chain four, and turn. Now we're going to work a granny cluster in between this last stitch and your cluster from the row below. So pull it apart and into this first gap here. Work a granny cluster which is three double crochet stitches. Then skip your granny cluster from the row below and into this N space by your chain four and your granny cluster in there we're going to work another granny cluster so three double crochets all into that space And then to finish this second row work an extended double crochet into this exact same place. So work a double crochet as normal but on your very first yarn oval when you have your three loops yarn over and pull through one then work it off as normal. For row three, chain four. And turn. Now just like before in between the space between that last extended double crochet and the granny cluster from the row below in between those stitches work a granny cluster of three double crochets. Just straight into that space. Then in between the granny clusters from the row below work another granny cluster. So three double crochet just into that gap in between your sets of three. Then into this very last space in between the chain four and the granny cluster from the row below. So right over here in the end we're going to work a granny cluster of three double crochets. And then to finish an extended double crochet into that same space. For row four and row four is the pattern repeat row which all that means is you're going to repeat this row four back and forth back and forth until your project is the width that you want it to be. You start by chaining four and turn. Then work three double crochets, granny cluster into that space in between the cluster and the end stitch of the row below. So you'll start every row like this. Chain four and three double crochets. Then in between the granny clusters from the row below during the middle section of the row you just work a granny cluster in between each. You'll grow by one more granny cluster for each row as you go. Once you get to the very end and there's no more spaces in between the clusters from the row below. At the end into the space in between your last granny cluster and the chain four from the row below over here to end you work three double crochets so your little granny cluster and then an extended double crochet stitch. So you would keep going building in rows until your project is the width that you want it to be. Now I'm only going to make a small square today. I've got one, two, three, four rows already. So I'm going to go ahead and crochet another two rows and then we can begin the decrease. So for every row when you are increasing on this first section chain four turn and work a granny cluster into that immediate space in between the last two stitches. Then a granny cluster of three double crochets into each section along the row until you get to the other side. So just working straight into the gaps between the clusters from the row below. And when you have worked in between all the clusters on this very very end section between those last two stitches end with three double crochet followed by an extended double crochet stitch. Now you can take this as wide as you want to. Just keep going. You don't need to worry about whether it's odd or even rows. You can see it stays nice and square by starting with a chain of four and ending with the extended double crochet stitch. It stops it from flaring so it's a nice square project. So I'm going to go ahead and do one more row. As I say you guys continue until your square is as wide as you want it to be. Then we can work on the decrease. So once your square is the width that you want it to be, we can start the decrease. So to bring it back to a point on the other side. How you count how many rows you've done is just along the side here. Your granny clusters, one, two, three, four, five, six. Now as I mentioned, you can take this as wide as you want to. You can keep little squares or you can do one large square. So when you're ready to decrease, we're going to do things a little bit differently for the decrease rows. Chain three. So we will not be chaining four anymore, chain three. Turn your work and we're going to ignore this space in between the last two stitches that you've been working into. For the increase rows, ignore this and we're going to leap straight over into the next space in between your granny clusters and you're going to work a granny cluster into that space. So completely ignore this side section. And work a cluster of three double crochet stitches. In between the clusters from the row below. Then work a granny cluster in between just as you did on the increase in between the granny clusters from the row below. But stop at this very last spot before the end side section. So you've got your chain three. You've skipped working into this side section and we're just working granny clusters across the row. Now once you reach this very end cluster on the increase we worked into this gap in between the last two stitches here. Now we're still going to work into there but we're not going to work a granny cluster. Instead we're going to work one extended double crochet. That's it. Just the one stitch to finish. So you have your chain three you've skipped working into the side granny clusters along the row and then ending with an extended double crochet into this side section here Chain three. And turn. Now things get a lot easier on the decrease rose from this point on. Skip this very first space. Ignore that completely and work a granny cluster into the next one along in between your granny clusters from the row below. So ignore this space and go into the next one with a granny cluster. Now work granny clusters in between the granny clusters from the row below. So wherever you have granny clusters work a new one in between them. Now you're left with a granny cluster and the chain of three sort of space from the row below. Into that space that very very end one work an extended double crochet only. So you can see we are working back to a point. So we're simply going to repeat what we did in the last row. Chain three. Turn ignore that very first space here and work your first granny cluster into the second one. Work them in between the granny clusters from the Robin Low. So wherever you have two granny clusters side by side put your new granny cluster in between them. This will shrink by one on each row. So you get faster and faster. The decrease is the best bit. Then when you have run out of these granny clusters from the row below you'll be left with just one chain space at the very end. In that chain space work your extended double crochet stitch. So you can see I've only got three now. I had four clusters row below. Five clusters row below that. So on the next one I know I'll only have two and then on the one after that I will have one. So we'll work these next couple of rows together. Chain three. Turn. Ignore that very first chain space and work your granny cluster into the second one. In between your sets of clusters from the row below. Then into this very last end space here. Work an extended double crochet stitch. Chain three. Turn. Now I've only got two granny clusters from the row below. So I know I only need one in between them. So I'm skipping this first space. Work my granny cluster in between the sets from the row below. And then end with an extended double crochet into that chain space. Now don't cut your yarn yet. We're not finished. So you've worked back down just to one cluster. Now we want this end section to be nicely sort of squared off and to mirror this very beginning chain four ring that we worked into. So to end once you have done your very last row which only has one granny cluster in. To end chain one turn your work and work a normal double crochet into this very end space over here. Just work a crochet as just a standard one, not an extended one. Chain one. Snip your yarn leaving a sort of generous tail that you can weave in afterwards. Pull it through. Pull it tight. And now you should have a nice squared off corner that matches the beginning. Now if you like this naked look stop at this point. And in my next video I will show you how you can join these squares as you go. So you can build them and join them together. However I'm going to show you an optional border row to square them off for if you prefer that look. So the optional order row to square off your corner to corner granny square grab your second colour of yarn. So with your second colour go ahead and join it into this sort of little space we created where we ended our work. So this is your chain one and your double crochet. It's created little hole. So go ahead and your yarn, your new colour of yarn. However you prefer to join your yarn, it's completely up to you. I'm going to go ahead and just pop a slipknot onto my hook and pull that loop to the front of my work. Now chain three which counts as your first double crochet stitch. And then work a double crochet into that exact same space. This is a point at which you need to decide how you are going to join your finished granny squares. Now any traditional granny square joining method works for these corner to corner granny squares on this final border. So it is totally personal preference as to whether you sew your squares together, crochet them together, do a tight join as you go, slip stitch join afterwards, whatever join you prefer doing, if it is a traditional join as you go where you chain one in between your side stitches the clusters then you go ahead and you chain one in between the stitches that I'm going to show you or the groups of two if you prefer to sew them together afterwards then continue and the method I'm going to show you now for my sample piece I use not that you can see because of course I used black in my infinite wisdom but here I my join as you go slip stitch method which should have popped up here now. Creates this pretty little braid. That's the method I used for attaching my squares together. However as I say you make that decision now how you want to join your squares and tailor this final round accordingly. For mine because I did my slip stitch as you go I'm not going to be chaining on these side sections. Instead I am just going to work two double crochets into each side gap along the way. So no chaining. If I was doing a traditional join as you go method like I normally do for my granny squares I would be chaining one in between these sets of two stitches. Now the reason I am only doing two double crochets down these side sections is I found when I did three like a traditional granny cluster it made it a bit too roughly. I just had one too many stitches in there. I found that having two worked perfectly for my tension. Now again if you find this is pulling in too tight just having the two then you are free to switch it up and have three double crochet stitches in the side spaces. This round is optional. You can customise it to however your personal tension or joining methods just happen to be. So keep working two double crochets in each of these side spaces down the row. Or across the top I guess I should say. Cos we're squaring these off in the opposite way to how they were created. Now once you get over to this other side you'll be greeted with a section that has four stitches. So this was your very last increase row before we started the decrease rows. So the decrease rows very easy peasy to see the sort of side spaces we're working into. But on this section here where you have four stitches we need to form a corner here. So we're going to work in between these last two stitches and in between I'm going to pop two double crochet stitches chain three. Now if you prefer to chain two on your corners you can chain two instead of three. And then to form the corner working back into that same space I'm going to put two more double crochet stitches. So I have two coming along the side. Then I formed a corner on the corner. Then turn as you come around and work your stitches into these side spaces at the end of each row again. They're fairly easy to spot. So you don't need to pull anything apart or squint too hard. Just keep working to every end gap of each row. Then we will be at your very start point where we formed a little ring with four chains and into that little ring we're going to form a corner. Now however you formed your corner on this side we're going to repeat that into this central ring. So for me that is two double crochets, chain three, two double crochet stitches. Might be a little bit tight getting in there but just bear with it. Then turn it around again. And exactly what you have been doing all the way up. Pop your stitches into the side sections at the end of each row. And then once again this side is a bit easier to see than this corner over here but once you get to this section that has four stitches into this section the last two stitches of that section of four this is your very last increase row here again we're going to work a corner so as you come to the sort of edge of your work always form a corner so for me my corners two double crochet chain 32 double crochet your corners will be whatever corners you are working I So you have your corner down here. You've worked up the side. And then we're coming back round again. Now we are back to that final decrease side and again it gets much easier to spot these spaces in between. And pop your stitches just into these side gaps all the way back along. And then to finish you'll be right back to where we started in this very end space here. We already have two stitches which is right where we start at the beginning. We need to finish off this final corner. So pop two double crochet stitches. Chain three. And then join to that beginning stitch you did. That very first chain three we're going to slip stitch to the top. Just here. So one, two, three and I'm going to join with a slip stitch. Then chain one. Cut your yarn leaving a length to weave in. Pull that through. Pull it tight. Then you can weave in all your ends. Now as I say how you go on to join with this optional squared off round is entirely up to you. If you need ideas for how to join Granny Squares, I have a playlist full of different options for you. So you can tailor this final round to whatever method you want to join your squares with. So I hope you enjoyed this tutorial I hope you can see how stunning these squares look worked up, how dramatic they look when you do do this extra additional separate border to join them all together. It really highlights the diagonal of this corner to corner Granny Square. However as I mentioned if you don't want to do this additional border in my next video I will show you how you can just straight up join as you go without the need for that additional round. So stay tuned for that one. And until next time. Happy crochet
