How to make the granny circle pattern

The granny stitch is made in rounds, skipping and working into the next corner as down with the classic granny squares, made using double crochet stitches.

This crochet project can be made using single or multiple yarn color(s). You can even make this project using different colors; just fasten off one color and join a new color after each round.

When making the round granny instead of a regular granny square pattern, you crochet from the circle center

With Color A, make a magic ring,

Alternatively, chain 4, 11 dc in first ch

Round 1: Ch 3 (counts as dc here and throughout the pattern), 11 dc into ring, join with sl st to top of ch 3. 12 dc

Fasten color A off, and join color B to any space between the stitches.

Round 2: Ch 3, dc in same sp, *2 dc in each of the sps around, join with sl st to top ch 3. 24 dc

Fasten color B off, and join color A to any space between the stitches.

Round 3: Ch 3, 2 dc in same sp, *skip next st, gcl in next sp, rep from * around, join with sl st to top ch3. 12gcl

Fasten color A off, and join color B to any space between the stitches.

This next step is crucial so as not to curl

Round 4: Ch 3, 3 dc in same sp, [gcl in next sp, cl-inc in next sp] repeat around ending with gcl in last sp, join with sl st to top ch 3. 6 gcl, 6 cl-inc

Fasten color B off, and join color A to any space between the stitches.

Round 5: Ch 3, 2 dc in same sp, *gcl in sp in middle of cl-inc, gcl in next 2 sps* repeat from * around ending with gcl in sp in middle of cl-inc, gcl in last sp, join with sl st to top c h3. 18 gcl

Round 6: Repeat round 4. 9 gcl, 9 cl-inc

Round 7: Repeat round 5. 27 gcl

Round 8: Ch 3, 3 dc in same sp, [gcl in next 2 sps, cl-inc in next sp] repeat around ending with gcl in last stitch sp, join with sl st to top ch 3. 18 gcl, 9 cl-inc

Round 9: Ch 3, 2 dc in same sp, gcl in every sp and glc in every sp in middle of cl-inc.

Continue to repeat Rounds 8 & 9 until you have your desired circumference.

Note that the number of spaces in round 8 must be increased by 1 each time.

Round 10: Repeat Round 8. This would look like this: Ch 3, 3 dc in same sp, [gcl in next 3 sps, cl-inc in next sp] repeat around ending with gcl in last sp, join with sl st to top ch 3.
