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.

Tip of the Week

Last week we asked you to see how easily others can find your social media buttons. This week we want to know your social sharing preference.
I like to read an article and then share on social media so I like the share buttons at the bottom of the post. Where do you like to find share buttons?
  • top of post
  • bottom of post
  • side of post (aka flares)
Let us know in the comments!
