To get start­ed, you’ll need some basic mate­ri­als, such as a cro­chet hook, yarn in dif­fer­ent col­ors, and a yarn nee­dle. Choose your hook size accord­ing to your yarn; typ­i­cal­ly, a 5mm (H) hook works well with worsted-weight yarn or cot­ton yarn. Adjust your hook size accord­ing­ly for projects with dif­fer­ent yarn weights.

1. Begin with a mag­ic ring or cir­cle, a great way to start your granny square with­out a hole in the cen­ter. Insert your hook into the ring and make your first chain.

2. Work your first dou­ble cro­chet (dc) into the mag­ic ring, fol­lowed by chain spaces and clus­ters as spec­i­fied in your writ­ten pat­tern or video tuto­r­i­al.

3. As you progress through the pat­tern, you’ll encounter dif­fer­ent stitch­es, such as sin­gle cro­chets, tre­ble cro­chets, and puff stitch­es, all of which add unique tex­tures to your square.

4. Chang­ing col­ors can bring a new dimen­sion to your square. Cut the yarn and join the new col­or in the last step of a stitch, leav­ing a tail to weave in lat­er.

5. Con­tin­ue to fol­low your pat­tern, work­ing your way around the square. Pay atten­tion to the cor­ners to main­tain the square’s shape.

6. Once you’ve com­plet­ed the last cor­ner, fin­ish off your square with a slip stitch (sl st) and fas­ten off your loose ends using a yarn nee­dle.
