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.

Tips of the Week - For the next month your Two Uses Tuesday tips will be about goals. If you haven't given up on your New Year's resolutions/goals yet, good for you! For those of you who have, let's get down to basics.

Think about your goal. Is it S.M.A.R.T? Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely (or Tangible). Being able to clearly define your goal under these categories will make you more likely to succeed.
