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.

Most Loved Link

Donna's love for succulents last week must have rubbed off on you! Don't you think it's about time you go and make your own succulent garden?

Sarah's Favorite

Need a new side table? Don't get rid of that wine crate! Use it to make a DIY nightstand. Makes me want to buy a few bottles of wine...

Stella's Favorite

What could make your special day even MORE special? DIY finishing touches like this ring bearer box.

Pili's Favorite

I see a nice rustic, farmhouse project in your future... like a DIY hanging lantern!

Donna's Favorite

Looking for new lunch ideas? How about a 3 bean salad?

And Last, But Certainly Not Least...

Better Late Than Never

You don't need another quilt lying around! Take that blanket rack and turn it into a farmhouse vegetable rack. Having fruits & veggies in sight helps you eat them more often.
