Instructions:

Step 1: Create a Magic Circle

  1. Start with a magic circle or you can chain 4 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring.

Round 1:

  1. Ch 3 (counts as your first double crochet [dc]).
  2. Dc 2 times into the ring (total 3 dc).
  3. Ch 2 (this creates the corner).
  4. Dc 3 times into the ring, ch 2 – repeat from * to * two more times for a total of 4 clusters.
  5. Join with a sl st to the top of the beginning ch 3.
  6. (You should have 4 clusters of 3 dc and 4 ch 2 spaces.)

Round 2:

  1. Sl st to the next ch 2 space.
  2. Ch 3 (counts as your first dc), dc 2 more times in the same ch 2 space (total 3 dc).
  3. Ch 2 (this creates the corner).
  4. Dc 3 times in the next ch 2 space, ch 2.
  5. Repeat for all ch 2 spaces (total of 4 corners).
  6. Join with a sl st to the top of the beginning ch 3.

Round 3:

  1. Sl st into the next ch 2 space to reach the corner.
  2. Ch 3 (counts as your first dc), dc 2 more times in the same space (total 3 dc).
  3. Ch 1 (this creates a side).
  4. In the next ch 2 space, dc 3 times, ch 2 (corner), ch 1.
  5. Repeat for all sides and corners around.
  6. Join with a sl st to the top of the beginning ch 3.

Round 4: Repeat the same process as Round 3, adding additional rounds as you desire.

Finishing:

  • Cut your yarn and pull it through the last loop to secure it.
  • Weave in any loose ends with a tapestry needle.

Optional: Color Changes

To change colors, simply finish your last stitch of the round up to the last yarn over (before pulling through) and switch to the new color. Complete the stitch with the new color yarn.

Tips:

  • Adjust the size of your granny square by adding or subtracting rounds.
  • Feel free to experiment with different colors and yarn textures for unique designs.

Use Cases:

  • Connect multiple granny squares to create blankets, pillows, or bags.
  • Make smaller squares to use as coasters or decorative pieces.
