Learn to Crochet a Granny Square

Learn how to crochet a Granny Square on today’s post.  Crochet Granny Squares are so versatile.  They can be used to make scarfs, afghans, blankets, blouses, even coats.  

Today I would like to share a very traditional crochet granny square pattern.   There are many variations of the classic Crochet Granny Square.  Today I will be sharing the classic Granny Square pattern.

I crocheted this Granny Square using 2 contrasting colors.  You can choose to change colors after each round or keep them to 1 or 2 colors.  

This is the classic crochet granny square which is made with 4 total rounds of stitches.   You can use whatever size crochet hook (the larger the crochet hook the larger the square) and type of yarn.

When choosing yarn weight be sure it is appropriate for your crochet hook.

In addition to the written pattern / instructions I have also attached a link for a free YouTube video tutorial for those who prefer visual instructions.  The instructions below are for using 2 colors which will be represented as Color A and Color B, or just A and B.  

I have made every attempt to ensure this pattern is free of errors but on occasion mistakes happen.  Please let me know of any errors in the comments section.  Thank you and enjoy.
