How To Crochet Granny Squares

Learning how to crochet granny squares can be fun. Here is what you do. First, make a slip knot and for a chain of six. Then, slip stitch into that chain to form a ring. Now, make a chain of three same as the first chain of six. Next you will want to make three double crochets into the center of your ring. Now chain two followed by making three double stitches, then chain two again. Repeat again and again to make four groups of three double crochet. Finally, slip stitch at the top of the three chain. Now you can continue adding to the corners to make it bigger.

Now that you have started your granny square, make it bigger. Do this by making a chain of three. Then in the spaces between the sets of double in the corner, do a 3 double, then chain 2, and then 3 more double in the corner. Do all four corners this way to make your granny square bigger.

When making granny squares, you should always leave a little extra yarn at the beginning. Make sure you are using the appropriate sized hook. Having a hook too big or too small may cause problems making your loops.
