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! 

With the seasons changing, we tend to go into spring cleaning mode in our lives. Don't leave your blog out of the mix! Take some time to clean up your blog's sidebar this week. Could you stand to remove an item or two? Are all the items on your sidebar useful to your readers? Are there ads slowing your site down? Assess what you're making your visitors see on every page and ask yourself if YOU'D be ok with those items on a site you're visiting.
