Perfect Granny Square Crochet Pattern

Learn how to create a seam free, single sided Crochet Granny square for perfect results every time.

The humble Granny Square is the crochet staple of Nanna's everywhere, which is how it came to be known as a 'Granny Square'. Originally it was just called a crochet square.

The Granny Square is often the very first thing we are taught when learning to crochet, so it would follow that it would be simple to have a perfect square every time and those new to crochet often get discouraged when this is not the case.

However, to get a perfect square actually requires a bit of experience, good fundamentals and advanced row starting techniques, otherwise you are left with seams, the reverse side of stitches showing every second row or even a slight spiral effect.

This granny square is made without turning your work and has a right and a wrong side.

Party Tip Q&A


Last week we asked if you know the difference between:
  • image name,
  • image title, 
  • image caption, 
  • image description, and
  • alt text? 
Image name is what you call the actual image file. Camera's generally name the files by number for eg: 1234.jpg. Best practice is to change the name to something more meaningful, for instance the banner at the top of this page is named TUTHeader.jpg. 
The image title on the other hand is what readers see when they hover their mouse over the image. If you hover over the banner at the top of this page a text box displays the words 'Two Uses Tuesday'. We'll discuss more about the other fields next week.
