Granny Squares
Try crocheting a granny square, we promise you, it’s lots of fun!
We’ll start the book by explaining how to crochet a granny square, as many of our projects focus on just this type of square. This is a basic description and is applicable to all the projects in the book that contain one or more granny squares. You can just as easily use a thin yarn and a thin hook as a thick yarn and thick hook.
The granny square is our absolute favorite and we think it’s an ingenious invention. Back in the day, it was a way to use up old scraps of yarn. The color combinations are infinite.
You can vary the size of the squares however you want. You can make one really big square or lots of small ones, depending on what you are making. For example, we have made a beautiful floor cushion from two gigantic squares, and also crocheted a few tiny ones to decorate our jeans. In addition, there are lots of other crafts, such as an armchair covered in granny squares.
If you don’t know how to make a granny square, follow these instructions and teach yourself because it is actually really simple.
How to crochet a granny square:
1. Crochet 5 chain stitches (ch) using an 8/H (5 mm) hook. We used Molly yarn.
2. Close to a ring using 1 slip stitch (sl st) in the first ch.
3. Crochet two hdc by going into the ring, make 2 ch, crochet 2 half double crochets (hdc) by going into the ring, crochet 2 ch, repeat twice more. Attach the ch with a sl st and cut the yarn. You now have a square with ch that makes a corner.
4. Change yarn to a different color.
Crochet 2 hdc in one corner, crochet 2 ch, and crochet 2 hdc in the same corner.
To get to the next corner make 1 ch.
Crochet 2 hdc, 2 ch, 2 hdc, and then 1 ch to get to the next corner, continue in the other 2 corners and finish with a ch. Secure with a sl st and cut the yarn.
5. Change to a different colored yarn.
Crochet the next round in the same way. Crochet 2 hdc in one corner, crochet 2 ch, crochet 2 hdc in the same corner.
Crochet 1 ch and then 2 hdc in the next hole, crochet 1 ch. You are now in the next corner, crochet 2 hdc, 2 ch, 2 hdc.
6. Continue to the end of the round and finish with a ch and secure with a sl st.
If you want a larger square, just continue with more rounds in the same way.
