So the Basic Granny Square pattern has been around forever! I would say it’s a Classic! I just LOVE how versatile it is! It’s perfect for beginners too! You can make so many cute things with it. I learned along time ago how to make it. I was also in several what they called “Friendship” Square swaps. It’s where you would make a certain amount of squares and send them out to the person Organizing the swap and in return you would get Squares from others. The Friendship Square blanket. I’ve got about 3 of them. One was a Christmas Theme, Spring and Any Occasion theme. They were fun to make. Once you got them all you’d crochet them all together to make your Blanket. You could also make Baby “Lovey’s”, you could just keep going and make one Big Giant Square til it’s as big as you want it to be. Change colors etc….ideas are endless!
Well my first video of the year is “The Basic Granny Square”. At the middle school I work at we have a Crochet Club and at the end of last year I had promised them a video and I finally got around to making it. So I’ll share it here also. I’ve got many more projects that are in the making so stay tuned. Below the video I’ve got the Basic Instructions for The Granny Square.
As always thanks for stopping by and…
Happy Craftin’,

NOTE: Ch 3 counts as your 1st DC unless otherwise noted
Instructions:
There are a few ways to start – here are my 2 favorite
Do a Magic Circle/Ring
Start with a Slip Knot, ch 4 and join to make a circle
Either one is fine to do, your choice
Round 1: Ch 3, 2 DC into the ring ch 2, (*3 DC into the ring, ch 2) Repeat (*) 2 more times, join with a slst to the top of your beginning ch3, slst til you get to the ch 2 space.
*I call these 3 DC – Clusters*
Round 2: Ch 3, 2 DC into the ch 2 space, ch 2, 3 DC into the same space, ch 1, (*3 DC into the next, ch 2 space, 3 DC into the same space, ch 1) Repeat (*) 2 more times, join with a slst to the top of your beginning ch3, slst til you get to the ch 2 space.
*We just made our 4 Corners
Round 3: Ch 3, 2 DC into the ch 2 space, ch 2, 3 DC into the same space, ch 1, 3 DC into the ch 1 space, ch 1 (*3 DC into the next, ch 2 space, 3 DC into the same space, ch 1, 3 DC into the ch 1 space, ch 1) Repeat (*) 2 more times, join with a slst to the top of your beginning ch3, slst til you get to the ch 2 space.
*We are now growing our Square
Round 4: Round 3: Ch 3, 2 DC into the ch 2 space, ch 2, 3 DC into the same space, ch 1, 3 DC into the ch 1 space, ch 1, 3 DC into the ch 1 space, ch 1 (*3 DC into the next, ch 2 space, 3 DC into the same space, ch 1, 3 DC into the ch 1 space, ch 1, 3 DC into the ch 1 space, ch 1 ) Repeat (*) 2 more times, join with a slst to the top of your beginning ch3, slst til you get to the ch 2 space.
Repeat the process til you get the desired size you want.
Hey All! I wanted to share a question that I get asked a lot. “What Crochet Hooks do I use?” Well I use many of them Boye Brand was what I started out with many years ago along with Susan Bates. But I have found a New Brand “Clover”. I was looking for something with a little more comfort as I do crochet A LOT! I tried Clover Soft Touch it was comfy BUT I fell in LOVE with Clover “Amour” – These are my all time FAVORITE Hooks! If you watch my videos I use them ALL the time! I love the soft grip and I do crochet much longer with them. I have one more set to collect but I’ve got just about ALL of them! Below I’m adding the ones that I do have (Amazon Affiliate)
If you are looking for something new and crochet a lot TRY them – I tried the “J” Hook first then ordered my set! You won’t be disappointed! I’ve got more goodies to share with you all a little later as things have slowed down here. I plan on Blogging more and doing more videos in 2018!
As always thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!
