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.

Two Uses Tuesday Linky Party
Two Uses Tuesday is LIVE until Friday at 11pm EST (3am  Saturday UTC).

Tip of the week 

This is week 4 of our blog clean up. How are you feeling about it? I know I love clean spaces smile emoticon
I want you to think about what makes you click through to a blog post? Catchy title, sure. Gorgeous image, absolutely!
That's what I want you to look at this week, your images. Best place to start: your most visited posts! Use Google Analytics to figure out which ones those are then get to work. Make sure you have a good pinnable one, that your URL is on them, branding is consistent and that you're using the best quality image possible. Schedule time into your blog maintenance routine to go back to the beginning of posting time to plug away at every last one.
