For those seeking community, connecting with fellow crocheters through social media hashtags like #crochetersoflemon8 and #grannysquarecrochet can be incredibly motivating. Share your creations and get inspired by others, whether that means tackling a traditional blanket or crafting unique home decor items. As the holiday season approaches, these projects can make for thoughtful gifts or decorative items. Dive back into your crochet journey, and let the joy of creating those delightful granny squares guide your next steps!

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.
