Instructions for crocheting Granny Square

Granny squares are a classic and versatile crochet pattern often used in blankets, afghans, and other projects. Here's a basic guide to crocheting a Granny Square:
Materials Needed:
Yarn
Crochet hook
Scissors
Starting Chain:
Begin by making a slip knot and chaining 4.
Join the chain to form a ring by slip stitching into the first chain.
Round 1:
Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
Make 2 double crochets into the ring.
Chain 2.
Make 3 double crochets into the ring, chain 2. Repeat - two more times.
Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain-3.
Round 2:
Slip stitch into the next two stitches and into the corner chain-2 space.
Chain 3 (counts as your first double crochet).
Make 2 double crochets into the same chain-2 space.
Chain 2.
Make 3 double crochets into the same chain-2 space, chain 2. Repeat - in each chain-2 corner space around.
Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain-3.
Subsequent Rounds:
Continue in this manner, increasing at the corners by making (3 double crochet, chain 2, 3 double crochet) in each chain-2 space around.
Join each round with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain-3.
Finishing:
Once your Granny Square is the desired size, fasten off your yarn, leaving a tail for weaving in.
Weave in any remaining yarn ends.
Remember, Granny Squares can be customized in many ways by changing yarn colors, adding different stitches, or varying the size of the square. Have fun experimenting with different patterns and designs!
