Thank you for taking the time to do these little videos. My mother-in-law (78 yrs old) just gave me a beautiful unfinished wool granny square quilt that she started 35+ years ago. I said I would love to finish it but I have never mastered the granny square! It looks so easy but for some reason I lose count every time I get to the 3rd or 4th round. (could it be my two little sons distracting me?!). These videos really help to make sense of the basic concept of how it works.

It sounds to me as though you may be missing the corner increases. With any type of square, there is going to be an increase at the corner that will include additional stitches and chains. I have this square and the standard granny square in the form of symbol instructions. It may help you to understand the stitch placement and recognize what you may be doing different.

I cannot for the life of me do this. I have probably watched every how to video on granny squares on youtube. I always end up with some wreath looking thing. =-[

You can make the granny pattern any size that you want to. I have come across patterns for 6, 7 and 12 inches squares. I have used a size G, H, or I size hook for the squares. I will send you the link to the traditional granny pattern.

First let me say I love your videos. Ive got a really silly question. to make a quote "standard sized " grannie square. How big would that be and what size hook would I use?

When you start the granny square it does have a little bit of a round shape in the very beginning. You should not feel stupid. You will get it as long as you keep practicing. I had to practice for a long time when I was first learning and I had crooked stitches and uneven edges. I have several granny square videos. I will send you my crochet blog with granny squares. It will be easier to find the video's from the blog.

I have watched this video at least 10 times. Everytime it turns out round not square. I feel so stupid, I just can't get it. You had another video for part 1 and then you changed it. I think the first part 1 was easier to follow. I really appreciate you trying to help.

I'm sorry for taking so long. I thought I answered all of my questions. You put the the hook under the two loops at the top of the stitch. I do have a slow motion video tutorial focused on only the double crochet. It might be helpful.

If that is a project that I am able to come up with then I will share it.
