About granny squares
The classic square, from first stitch to finished blanket
The granny square is the starting point for many crocheters. You start with a magic ring, use only chains and double crochets, and grow it as big as you want. That makes it easy to learn and endlessly variable once you know the basics!
This hub gathers everything Granny on Haak Maar Raak in one place: the step-by-step tutorial for the classic square, variations like the solid and rainbow granny, joining and border methods, and full projects that use them. Check out the tutorials if you're new, or jump straight to the pattern you came for.
What you'll find here
Tutorials, free patterns & inspiration
Every tutorial is written and photographed for beginners: US terms, stitch counts per round, and photos of what each round or important point should look like. The free patterns in this hub range from simple projects you can finish in an evening to blankets, bags and cushions that use hundreds of them.
Looking for inspiration rather than instructions? The roundups collect small granny square projects, colour combinations and scrapbusters. And if you'd like new patterns as they're published, join the newsletter above!
