Only just discovered this thread (and indeed the arts and crafts section lol).

I got into crochet about 2 years ago but so far haven't mastered anything other than a granny square. Basically if you can make it out of a square, I'm laughing

I would love to get the hang of amigurumi but despite endless You Tube demos and my beginners book, I just can't get my head round it

Hi ladies, I've just started this evening. Just doing a granny square to start. I showed DH, his reply was... What is it ?! Ha... Although my square doesn't look square, does anyone have any tips on tying to make it more square like?

There are some beautiful bits on here, I can't wait to try more than a 'square'

 

[Snuffy]

It took me an age to get a square granny square lol. I just kept trying and trying and eventually it clicked. I was getting confused at the corners - I was chaining 2 but then not putting a further 3 in the same corner - doh.

Thanks. Just worked out I got a larger hook than suggested for the yarn...

I shall keep going

 

[princessellie]

You should be able to use a larger/smaller hook than suggested with not too many problems tbh...i find the best way to make it square-like is just to pull the corners with my fingers, as you do more rounds it will automatically look more square

Tombliboo pattern and pic is up on my blog
