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.

Bobby Pin 
Bobbing pins became popular in the 1920s to hold the new bobbed hairstyles popular for women working in the war effort.
There is some controversy as to who actually invented the bobby pin with Robert (Bobby) Pinot being cited by wikipedia;
patent US 1233195 by Samuel Creech and Perry Bland of Sullivan, IL, in 1917 are also a contender; 
with Luis Marcus also being cited as the inventor by yet another website.
