If you're looking for an innovative approach to crocheting granny squares without dealing with tail ends for each colour. This yarn aims to minimize the number of yarn tails woven at your project's end. This is the new Red Heart All In One Granny Square yarn.
I have provided written instructions and downloadable crochet diagram that appears on the ball label that is much bigger.

The granny square pattern is very specific, so it cannot just be any granny square you wish for the yardages to hit the transition points. See below for the diagram and above for the written instructions. It's provided on the ball labels. Pay close attention to the gauge.

Additional Tips
I've been working with this yarn since Spring 2023 in the testing stages with Yarnspirations. Here are some first-hand tips I have for you.
- Do a gauge check. The yarn gauge matters the most. The yarn balls state 5.5 mm / I/9. I need to use 4.5 mm / G/6 to hit the correct gauge for this to work. Check your crochet hook if your transitions aren't where they should be.
- If you are hitting the colour transition too early. Increase your tension to stretch the yarn on the final side OR, you can switch to a smaller hook.
- If you are hitting the colour transition too late. Loosen your crochet stitches a bit on the last round to absorb more yarn. You can also switch to a larger crochet hook.
You will eventually find your rhythm with this yarn.
Recommended join are the Flat Slip Stitch Join. See video below. You can also use a Whip Stitch Join which is my favourite of the two.

I made a small afghan with this yarn. I liked it very much. The downside is that the squares are a bit wonky due to the prescribed pattern. Once I joined them together the wonkiness was not as noticeable. I recommend this yarn!!
