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.

Favourite Blooms

Black and yellow pea flower

My 55mm - 250mm lens rarely gives me such smooth pretty bokeh as it has in this pea-flower shot. Most of the plant was in shadows and I had to carefully position everything to get the little sunbeam that was poking through. A moment later and the sunbeam was gone. 

Grevillia flower

This pink flower is fairly scrappy looking grevillea specimen but the birds just love it.

Grevillia flower and seed pods

Cream coloured grevillea's are much rarer then the reds and pinks. The seed pods are equally as decorative as the flowers themselves if you ask me.

hibiscus flower

Hibiscus flowers seem out of context amongst these other blooms and this isn't even a particularly good shot but the play of light appeals to me.

pomegranate flowers

The promise of pomegranates to come.

Purple pea flowers

I think the purple peas are looking at me. They have to be my second favourite flower after the black pea. Which flower is your favourite?
