Have you seen the new Red Heart All in One Granny Square yarn? It changes colors at set lengths for each round of a 5-round granny square! I LOVE this idea! I had to buy a skein to try it out for myself! And it works great! Now there are only 2 ends to weave in instead of 10 ends on each 5-round granny square!
I’ve watched quite a few videos on YouTube for using this yarn. I think crocheters either love it or hate it! If you’ve experimented with making taller or shorter stitches, you should do just fine with this yarn. One skein makes 14-15 granny squares (6″ square). That’s enough for 1-2 scarves, depending on the length.
I’ve filmed a YouTube video demonstrating working with this yarn. I’ve also put together a written, as well as charted, pattern to accompany this yarn. I didn’t like the short length left over after crocheting the granny square per the instructions on the yarn label, so I changed the pattern here and there to create a different granny square. Now I have 3-4 feet of leftover yarn at the end of each square, giving me plenty of yarn to join the squares together! I’m planning to make a scarf with some of these granny squares. And I’ll have more granny squares leftover for another project!
If you’d like a copy of the pattern, it’s available here.
Happy Granny Square crocheting!

This sounds great! I hate sewing in the ends on granny squares. I am going to have to get a skein and give it a try.
Hi Liz! It takes a little practice, but I think it’s worth it!
Oh, I’d love to try this! It would’ve great for an easy afghan, too!
I agree! These squares would make a great afghan, as long as you can find the yarn on sale. Otherwise, it might be pretty expensive! And you have to like the colors that the yarn comes in, which I think are quite pretty made up!
Happy crocheting to you, Jana!
