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.

    Thank you for a great party, as always!

    Stella, I'm sorry, but the buttons still aren't working for me. The Thanksgiving theme loaded blank, and the original button is loading too large and spilling into the background. Is it just me, or Friday the 13th? I left the original button up on my sidebar, so you can check it out.

      One was missing 3 letters from the code - so sorry! I've tested them. I'll send them to you. They're set for 250px wide - to make them smaller just change the width="250" to 200 or whatever size you like.
