Granny Square Inspiration & Techniques

20 Fun Granny Squares Projects to Get Started with Crochet

I have been obsessed with granny squares lately. I had no idea that they were so simple and fun to crochet. Granny squares provide practice that builds into something bigger. There's a low sense of danger in messing up the project because if you mess something up, it's a small piece to fix. AND there are so many variations on the one concept, that you can keep trying new things! You can use leftover yarn or grab your favorite colors to create a unique design of your own.

The Infamous Granny Square

It’s official! I love Granny Squares – they are amazing building blocks and can be used individually as face cloths, pot holders and coasters or sewn together to make beautiful bags, blankets, scarfs, headbands and clothes.

As the Granny Square is worked in circles / rounds from the centre out, you can make them as big or small as you like. The one I’m going to take you through is quite traditional and has 3 rounds.
