Granny Square Video Tutorial – Beginner Series Crochet
Granny Square Video Tutorial – Beginner Series Crochet
It’s the 3rd week of the new year, and so far we’ve learned the single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet stitches. Let’s take the double crochet stitch farther and make a granny square. Granny squares are a perfect introduction for working in the round, a skill you’ll need for making hats.
Granny squares are traditionally used for making blankets, but you can make pillow covers, scarves, shrugs, ponchos…your imagination is your only limit! So lets get down to business! Grab your hook and yarn and crochet along with me. The video is embedded below, or you can watch it directly on YouTube here: Granny Square Video Tutorial

Hi Joann,
I just want to thank you for the Awesome Granny Square Tutorial. I have watched many videos and been on many sites, but I just could not make a Granny Square that ended up Square. I was able to make one through this wonderful site. You showed me every step into making a Granny Square, and I was so happy that it ended up being square. Thank you. I love this site. I am a beginner and so thankful that I came across you website.
