Crochet Granny Square Patterns: Step-by-Step Tutorials

A crochet granny square is a small, usually square-shaped crochet motif that is made by working in the round from the center outward. It is a popular crochet pattern and is often used as a building block for larger projects like blankets, afghans, and garments.

To start a granny square, you typically create a center ring with a few chain stitches, then work a series of stitches into the ring. This forms the center of your square, and you can continue to build upon it with additional rounds of stitches. To get started, you can explore our free Granny Square video tutorial for beginners.
