12 SQUARES AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR A BLANKET
Most granny squares are worked in rounds, beginning with a center ring. There are different ways to begin the ring. The method you choose may depend on whether you want the center to be open or tightly closed.
In this method the size of the ring is fixed and cannot be tightened.
1. Make a foundation chain, joining with a slip stitch to form a ring.
2. Work the next round inserting the hook into the center of the ring rather than in the chain stitches.
1. Form a loose slip knot. Holding the tail between your thumb and middle finger, work the first round of stitches into the slip knot.
2. Before joining the round, gently pull the tail of the knot to tighten the center.
A third method, sometimes referred to as magic ring or sliding loop, also allows you to pull the ring tightly closed.
1. Wrap the yarn clockwise around your index finger twice, leaving a 6" (15.2 cm) tail. Holding the tail between your thumb and middle finger, slide the hook under the wraps and catch the working yarn.
2. Pull the working yarn through the ring, and chain the designated number of stitches.
3. Work additional stitches into the two loops of the ring, keeping the tail free. Before joining the round, pull on the tail a little; one loop will tighten slightly. Pull on that loop, which will tighten the other loop.
4. Then pull the tail to tighten the remaining loop.
Most granny squares are worked in rounds instead of rows. A classic granny begins with a foundation chain formed in a circle. Because many of the floral granny squares in this book are very textural, you may find it appealing to separate them with the plainer classic granny squares for projects like blankets. If you have never crocheted a granny square before, this is the best place to start!
1. Foundation rnd: With A, ch 4, join with a Sl st to form a ring.
2. RND 1: With A, ch 3 (counts as a dc), work 2 more dc in ring, *ch 3, work 3 more dc in ring, rep from * twice more, join with a Sl st to 3rd ch of beg ch 3.
3. RND 2: Join B by making a slip knot on hook, place hook in any corner ch-3 sp, pick up a loop, yo through 2 (1 ch made), ch 2 more for beg chain (A). 2 dc in same ch-3 sp (half corner made), *ch 2 [3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc] in next ch-3 sp (corner made) (B), rep from * twice, ch 2, 3 dc in same sp as beg ch-3, ch 3, join with a Sl st to 3rd ch of beg ch-3 (C).
4. RND 3: Join A with a slip knot (same as rnd 2), make 2 more dc in same ch 3 sp (half corner made), *ch 2, 3 dc in next ch-2 sp, ch 2, [3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc] in next ch-3 sp (corner made), rep from * twice, ch 2, 3 dc in next ch-2 sp, ch 2, 3 dc in same sp as beg half corner, ch 3, join with a Sl st to 3rd ch of beg ch-3, fasten off.
Continue to add rounds until your classic granny square is the size you desire. Here is a Classic Granny with four rounds. Refer to the symbol chart on if you are unfamiliar with reading crochet stitch diagrams.
When you crochet in rows, you alternate from right side to wrong side with each row. At the end of each row, you crochet a turning chain of one to four chains, depending on the height of the next row of stitches. When crocheting granny squares, you are working in rounds always from the right side and continuing in the same direction, but you still crochet a chain to begin the round. If the next round will be single crochet, you chain 1 to begin; half-double crochet: chain 2; double crochet: chain 3; triple crochet: chain 4, etc. The directions will tell you how many chains to make. The beginning chain counts as a stitch. For instance, the directions may say, ch 3 (counts as dc). At the end of each round, the last stitch is worked into the beginning chain from the previous round.
When working in the round, connecting the end of the round to the beginning can sometimes seem awkward. Here is a way to connect the last stitch in a way that will leave the connection nearly invisible.
1. End the last stitch but do not join to the beginning with a slip stitch.
