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.

Two Uses Tuesday Link Up 47

Two Uses Tuesday Linky Party
Two Uses Tuesday is LIVE until Friday at 11pm EST (3am  Saturday UTC).

We've had the most gorgeous sunny weekend here in Western Australia and we spent a lot of time in the garden.

We planted some lovely natives - I hope we haven't got them in the ground too late for the spring rains - the most spectacular of which is Kennedia nigricans, a native pea which has flowers of yellow and black, a true black too, not a blue variant. I can't wait for it to flower so I can show you all.

I guess most of you are entering into autumn weather and are starting to see lots of pretty fall colours and although I'm not decorating for fall I've rounded up some great pumpkin crafts as inspiration for your fall decor.  Let me know in the comments what season it is in your part of the world.
