Introduction

Hello again! Today I have the crochet Granny Stitch Join as-you-go (JAYG) and continuous join as-you-go (CJAYG) for squares. Both JAYG and CJAYG are included in the PDF, and as a free version on my website, via the link to my blog.

What’s the difference?
Briefly, for the regular JAYG you join each square individually, cutting the yarn after each square is joined on to the blanket. For the continuous JAYG (or CJAYG) you join squares one column at a time, making a specific continuous path around the squares like if you were drawing around them without picking up your pencil. You only cut the yarn after all the squares are joined together. This is simplified, but you’ll see the difference in the tutorials!
