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.

That little kitty is my totally annoying super cute Siamese x called Ada. She always tries to kiss the camera so it's hard to get pics of her. And you're welcome!
DeleteThank you! Very easy instructions.
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased to hear that! Thank you for the feedback.
DeleteOOOOooo I love appliques and the fleur-de-lys is wonderful :D Thank you for sharing it with other crochet crazies! (like me!)
ReplyDeleteI love your work. I am attempting the outer pedals and keep having a few chains remaining. I cannot seem to figure it out. Do you happen to have a video to compliment the pattern? I think I am missing a step it reading it wrong. Thanks a lot
ReplyDeleteI figured it out ��
DeleteI did try to make a video tutorial, but it wasn't that successful. I shall have to try again :o) I think the extra slip-stitches I needed when turning aren't needed for thicker yarn. I'm so glad you figured it out! I'd love to see a picture.
DeleteHello! I was about to ask the same thing, a tutorial video. I tried the centre pedals and the outer but they didn't turned the same as yours, and in some point I had three, four, five rings and I didn't know how to finish them. I'll be thankful if you try one more time the video tutorial, because it is easier to me to understand the process and be successful in that crochet fleur-de-lys. =)
DeletePerfect. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteGreat, thank you!!!
ReplyDeletei love you work but iwas wondering if there was a way to make it bigger
ReplyDeleteHi I love this and want to make this to put on a small teddy bear can it be made smaller?
ReplyDeleteIf you work it with a #10 crochet cotton it will turn out much smaller.
