working on my Granny Squares.

I've been working on trying something new when it comes to crochet. Remy has been so supportive.. even after having to pull this apart like five times before finishing my first square.

Crochet is a versatile craft that allows you to create beautiful and functional items. The granny square, a staple in crochet, is renowned for its simplicity and charm. As you delve into your crochet projects, consider the various ways these squares can be combined to form blankets, bags, or even clothing. Many crafters find joy in the creative process, often sharing their successes and challenges within online communities. Whether you're a beginner or have been crocheting for years, connecting with fellow enthusiasts can enhance your skills and inspiration. Resources abound, from YouTube tutorials to Instagram feeds dedicated to stunning yarn projects. The rise of social media has allowed crafters to showcase their work and exchange ideas, making it easier than ever to learn and grow in the craft. So grab your yarn and hook, and let’s create something beautiful together!

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.
