GRANNY Squares

2025/4/28 Edited to

... Read moreGranny squares are not only a nostalgic element of crochet but also a versatile one. They can be used in endless combinations to create a variety of projects that suit any style. For an afghan, consider mixing colors and patterns for a vibrant throw that warms your space. If you're looking to create a statement piece, granny squares can easily be transformed into a trendy cardigan, using both traditional and modern patterns to make it unique. Don't forget about accessories; bags made from granny squares are not only stylish but also functional. You can start small by creating a few squares and connecting them as you go, making it easy to add to your projects while watching TV or during your free time. Look for inspiration on social platforms dedicated to crochet such as Instagram and Pinterest, where the hashtags #crochet, #grannysquarecrochet, and #crochetlove can lead you to creative ideas and community support. Whether you're a novice or an experienced crocheter, the charm of granny squares can revive your projects and keep your hands busy with endless possibilities!

Crochet Granny Squares! 🧶🪡
Hey, y’all! Here’s 2 different granny square concepts. My personal favorite is the second one, it is a more “closed” sort of square compared to the first. I think it looks cleaner as well. Let me know what you guys think, are you a traditionally girly or basic? 🫶🏻☺️ #crochet #crochetgrannysquar

This image introduces the topic of crocheting a granny square, showing three skeins of yarn in burnt orange, red, and brown, along with a crochet hook on a wooden background.
A hand holds red yarn, demonstrating the first step of Round 1 (R1) for a granny square, which is to chain 5 (CH5), with an arrow pointing to 'Chain 1'.
A hand demonstrates forming a circle in red yarn by slip stitching (SL ST) to CH1 and chaining 4 (CH4, indicating to work into this circle and add 3 double crochets (3DC).
Granny Squares for Babies?! 🤪
Someone asked for a breakdown on how to make a granny square. Check out below for abbreviations long worded. CH - chain DC - double crochet SLST - slip stitch One key advice to remember is to always change four at the beginning of the round. And then add your first 3DC in that same stitch.

Granny Squares are the best
This project was a mixture of two tutorials I found on YouTube. One by Thatssojay and another by Fisayo and Crochet. I ran out of yarn for the first tutorial so I made the sleeves from the second one. This is actually a lot simpler than you think as long as you know how to make a granny square 😊
