About This Project
The granny square is a classic crochet motif used in countless projects. In this tutorial, we'll walk through the steps to make a simple granny square, which can be joined together to make blankets, scarves, and more!
Step-by-Step Tutorial
- Start with a Slip Knot: Begin by making a slip knot and chain 4 stitches.
- Form a Ring: Join the chain to form a loop by slst (slip stitch) into the first chain.
- Round 1 - Corner Stitch: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then crochet 2 more double crochets into the ring. This makes your first corner. Repeat for four corners, joining with a slip stitch to the top of the first chain-3.
- Round 2 - Expanding the Square: In this round, you'll create a corner for each side. Each side should have three double crochets, followed by a chain 2 for the corner.
- Repeat Rounds: Continue adding rounds, keeping the same number of stitches along each side and the same corner stitch. You can change colors at the end of any round to create a multi-colored square.
