The Timeless Magic of Granny Squares
A granny square – that iconic crochet motif that’s been warming hearts and homes for generations!
What makes them so special? Maybe it’s how a simple combination of chains, double crochets, and spaces can create endless possibilities. From cozy blankets passed down through families to funky modern fashion pieces, granny squares have proven they’re anything but old-fashioned.
The best part about granny squares is how they bring crocheters together. Whether you’re a complete beginner figuring out your first square or a seasoned pro experimenting with complex color combinations, there’s something magical about creating these little pieces of joy, one round at a time.
They’re perfect for social crafting too – just imagine a bunch of friends sitting around, hooks in hand, chatting away while their squares grow into something beautiful.
And let’s talk about that satisfying feeling when all your squares finally come together into a finished project. It’s like putting together a puzzle where every piece is handmade with love..

Instructions
A Granny Square- Make 12 – each square 4 rounds
Color A
Round 1: Make a magic ring (or ch 4 and join with a sl st to form a ring). Ch 3 (counts as first dc here and throughout), 2 dc into the ring, *[ch 2, 3 dc into the ring]* repeat from * to * 2 more times. Ch 2 and sl st to the top of the beginning ch 3 to join. Pull the magic ring tight or weave in the yarn tail to secure the center.
Round 2: Sl st in the next 2 dc and into the ch-2 corner space. ch 3, dc 2 in the same ch-2 space, ch 2, dc 3 in same ch-2 space, *[ch 1, (dc3+ch2+dc3) in next ch-2 space]* repeat from * to * until you reach the beginning corner, ch1 , sl st to the top of the beginning ch 3 to join.
Round 3: Sl st in the next 2 dc and into the ch-2 corner space. ch 3, dc 2 in the same ch-2 space, ch 2, dc 3 in same ch-2 space, *[ch 1, dc 3 in next ch-1 space, ch1, (dc3+ch2+dc3) in next ch-2 space ]*repeat from * to * until you reach the beginning corner, ch1, sl st to the top of the beginning ch 3 to join.
Change to color B
Round 4: You can continue adding more rounds to make your square as large as you want by using these general rules: • Continue the pattern, increasing the ch-1 spaces between the 3-dc groups by 1 in each round. For example, in Round 4, you would have (dc 3+ ch 2 + dc 3) in the next ch-2 space, ch 1, 3 dc in the next ch-1 space, ch 1, 3 dc in the next ch-1 space repeat from until you reach the beginning corner. After each corner, continue to add ch-1 spaces to separate the 3-dc groups in each side of the square. Secure yarn, cut and weave in ends
