This row constitutes the basic stitches, and from here on it doesn't change all that much.
You just made the first round of your Granny square. If you're not comfortable doing this, then simply leave the loose tail at the back of your work to weave in later. I do this because it saves me an end to weave in later. This closes your round and brings you back to the starting point.Īs you might have noticed, I crocheted over the loose end of my yarn. Do this by slip stitching the last chain into the third chain of the chains you’ve started your round with ( photo 6). Finally, make another two chains for your final corner. Now repeat the instructions "chain 2, 2dc in centre ring" 2 more times, to create two more granny clusters and corners. You might already see part of a square forming! You now have made two granny clusters and one corner, all in the same ring ( photo 4). Those two chains you just made form your first corner (one chain on each side of the corner). You just made your first granny cluster ( photo 3)! Chain 2. Make 2 dc in the ring indicated by the arrow in photo 2. That’s where you are going to crochet your first round in. Do you see the ring you’ve created by chaining the first and last ch together? The arrow in photo 2 indicates the centre hole. These three chains will count as your first double crochet, which I will abbreviate with dc from now on. Alternatively, if you’ve mastered the magic ring you can use that as a substitution for this step.Ĭhain 3. This will create a ring for you to crochet your first round in. If you’re looking for the written pattern, scroll to the bottom of this tutorial.Ĭhain 4, then slip stitch the last chain to the first chain ( photo 1). This tutorial is made for absolute beginners and contains a lot of photos and extra explanations. If you prefer UK terms, simply substitute every double crochet (dc) with a treble (tr). Deramores (UK webshop, ships worldwide).Wool Warehouse (UK webshop, ships worldwide).You can find Catona in the following webshops: I recommend a non-splitting, 100% cotton such as Scheepjes Catona. Where can you buy yarn for Granny Squares? For other yarns, check out the label on your yarn. If you use Scheepjes Catona, also use a 3.0 (US Size C/2) or 3.5mm hook (US size E/4). I would recommend a 100% cotton yarn such as Scheepjes Catona, which is tightly plied and mercerised to prevent splitting. You want to see your stitches clearly, and splitting yarn doesn’t help with that. My advice to you would be to use a non-splitting thread, especially if this is your first time crocheting a granny square. What yarn do I need to crochet a granny square? It’s all best explained in pictures, so I’ve made a photo tutorial for you, simply scroll down! 👇 If this all sounds complicated, don’t worry.
