Materials Needed

To get started with a basic granny square, gather the following supplies:

  • Crochet Hook: Choose a hook that matches the yarn weight. Typically, a size H (5.0 mm) hook is ideal for medium-weight yarn.
  • Scissors: For cutting yarn.
  • Yarn Needle: For weaving in ends.

Step-by-Step Instructions for a Basic Granny Square

Follow these steps to create a classic granny square:

  1. Start with a Slip Knot
    Create a slip knot and chain 4. Join with a slip stitch to form a small ring.
  2. Round 1: Chain 3 (counts as a double crochet), then work 2 double crochets into the ring. Chain 2 (this forms a corner), work 3 double crochets into the ring. Repeat between two more times. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the initial chain-3.
  3. Round 2: Slip stitch over to the first chain-2 space. Chain 3, work 2 double crochets, chain 2, work 3 more double crochets in the same space. Move to the next corner, work 3 double crochets, chain 2, 3 double crochets. Continue around until you reach the start, join with a slip stitch.
  4. Subsequent Rounds: Repeat round 2, increasing the number of double crochet clusters between each corner as the square expands.
  5. Finishing: Once you’ve reached your desired size, cut the yarn and pull it through the loop to fasten off. Weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle.
