Joining Granny Squares - just one out of a million methods...

Hey all,

I know I promised to post this one back in March. So little time, so much to do - I unfortunately couldn't find the time earlier to work out a proper tutorial. But finally here we go...

I started with adding an extra full round to one of the two granny squares I'd like to join:
One DC into each DC of the previous round and 2 DC + 2 CH + 2 DC into each corner

Now we basically start adding a quite similar round to the second square as well with which we are joining the squares as we go.
Start by attaching the yarn to one corner of the square, 2 DC into corner, 1 CH, 1 SL around corner of the other square (see below), 1 CH, 2 DC into corner.

Now loop the yarn through the third DC from the corner of the other Square (see below), 1 DC into each of the next 3 DC from the previous round.

Loop the yarn through the third DC from where you looped through before of the other Square (see below), 1 DC into each of the next 3 DC from the previous round.

And again, loop the yarn through the third DC from where you looped through before of the other Square (see below).

2 DC into corner of the square, 1 CH, 1 SL around corner of the other square, 2 DC into the corner of the square.

From there on just continue as descriped before. Et voilà, you're done:

As you can see, you will get some kind of zig-zag look when you join squares with two different colors using this method. Should you be using just one color, it will turn out spiral.

Alright everyone, happy hookin' and see you soon!

Yours
Uta
