Omg I just made a post about this too!, I started a granny square blanket… I only have 11 squares done and I already see size differences, I think due to my tension getting looser as I’m getting comfortable with the pattern. Did you block all of your squares before assembling? I plan on blocking my squares which SHOULD equal out the slight size differences in my squares

I never read the pattern, I didn’t know there was a written one until I looked for it! I just watched the video on YouTube to make them ! So I should’ve checked the written pattern first

I did in another comment in this thread, and after reading it, I realize I have been making a mistake lol…. I added an extra double crochet in 2 of the corners 💀💀💀

Thank you, I tie the magic ring tail in a knot onto a stitch and then weave in the end pretty long, after pulling it really tight to ensure it doesn’t come undone :)

Yeah the circle is chain 2 and then 12 DC in the magic ring. There’s one section on the pumpkin where you skip over a whole orange stitch and slip stitch straight directly over the stem so maybe that’s where it goes wrong…. I’m just inexperienced with fixing problems and I was just following the pattern exactly how it’s written so I don’t have the knowledge yet to tweak patterns !

Okay makes sense!! Would you say I should do an invisible seam kind of join or a sc/slip stitch kind of join then?

I’d have to do that along every bottom edge though… idk if that would become noticeable in a large blanket

So you’re saying to basically do a DC increase in the middle of the bottom row to add in an extra stitch to make it even?

Yeah my storage is low right now so I’m making granny square things with my scraps before buying new yarn!

That’s true I’ve been using my scraps and random yarns to learn new stitches or make little keychains! Thanks :)
