Investigate a twisting granny square
Check equal side counts and corner placement first. Working direction and stitch lean can also affect rotation; compare a turned-round sample if the pattern permits.

Before you start
Stop and record the last correct reference point. Support loose loops or damaged ground before removing anything, and reproduce the fault on a spare sample if possible.
Try this example
Mark the center and four corners after each of four rounds. If counts match but corners rotate progressively, compare a second sample before relying on forceful blocking.
Check your result
- Compare the repaired area with an undamaged neighbor after relaxing or finishing the sample. Recount the boundary before continuing beyond the repair.
- A repair may remain visible. If the foundation is weak, reinforcing or replacing a section can be more reliable than hiding the surface fault.
