Joining
the granny rectangles together:
Take one
granny rectangle and fold in half with right sides together, beginning in the
right-hand corner join the two sides together using the invisible join method.
This method creates a flat seam, B. Hooked Crochet has a great video
explaining the invisible join method. Work across to the other end, fasten off,
weave in ends and turn to the right side. The granny Rectangle should now be a
circle. (see photos below)
Slip the second rectangle through the first and join in the same manner as the first rectangle, with right sides together and using the invisible join method, fasten off, weave in ends and turn to the right side.
Continue adding each rectangle in the same manner until you have added all the rectangles and the Granny Chain is the desired length.
