How To Crochet Granny Squares

Granny squares are a classic representation of crocheting. They are all over the place, in afghans, lacy tablecloths, as motifs on women's tops. I have any gorgeous doilies that my great grandmothers made based on the basic granny square. Learning how to crochet granny squares can be a minute tricky, especially if you are a beginner. However, once you learn how, you will be able to turn out many gorgeous projects using this uncomplicated formula.

A few things will help you form out a new crocheting pattern. Keep a completed granny quadrate with you while you are crocheting. It helps to touch it, to look at it from any angles, to see a concrete example of your end goal. Also, keep the whole of the task in mind. Instead of getting bogged down with where to place stitches or if you did it right, think about how they look. Knowing what it should look like will help you recognize when you make mistakes.

Afghan Blanket Knitting Pattern

1. To begin crocheting a granny square, chain (ch) five stitches. Join the ends together with a slip stitch (ss). This makes your base loop. The squares are worked in the round. This means that instead of turning directions at the end of a row, you will connect the ends of your work together and crochet in one continuous circle.
