This is my first attempt at doing squares and joining them. I just can't seem to get them to come out exactly square on the corners. I did get one strip done and part of another (ran out of the other color), so I haven't...

Marie Anne Your first paragraph describes exactly what I'm talking about doing. I was going to try two different ways - one with just two colors of the same pattern edged and joined with black, and another with various colors and patterns making up more of a 'real'...

CAPirani Photography & Art The plain squares pattern is something I have been wanting to try and probably will do so this winter. Right now I am working on car seat covers for babies and I use larger size granny squares for those. I am tired of that pattern. So I am looking forward to...

peavey I don't crochet, but I knit and I join pieces of different colors by sewing. When I make a square or whatever, I leave a tail long enough to sew the edge onto another piece, that way I have the right color for each piece and the seams don't show as much. I do...

tamarafireheart Hi Ldyjarhead, I'm no good at these things, all I can do is crochet a blank and do some knitting but to answer to your problem I won't know how, maybe its easier stiching together with wool. Tamara

CAPirani Photography & Art It depends on how you want yours to look whether or not you use the same color to join as the color you finished your squares with. A lot of granny squares or square pieced afghans will use one "base" color for the joining and if they want that part to look...

thebeaddoodler Yes. I always make the last row of the squares or rectangles the same color and join them with that color. When I start a scrap afghan or lap robe I always try to find enough yarn of one color to do all the edging and joining before I start so I don't have to...

Marie Anne Easy enough, but are the squares already edged in the same color, and you use that color to join?

thebeaddoodler I do NOT like my squares of rectangles sewn together. Maybe it's because I never can get the tension right, but I just don't like the look. The way I join mine is place two pieces together with the right sides facing out. Make a loop in the end of the yarn...

BarBaraPrz I've always just stitched them together, using yarn. (Except for the one I knitted all of a piece... that one was fun, and of course not portable -- I worked on that one on my sofabed while watching TV.)

CAPirani Photography & Art Thanks for the links! Those had some good pictures that showed the technique well. I have only done slip stitching to put squares together so far. These give me some ideas.
