OTH Crochet Nook

This is the easiest Granny Square you will ever make.

It's perfect for beginners and perfect a crocheter that has NEVER made a Granny Square before.

The pattern is repetitive, making it a mindless crochet project and perfect to watch TV and crochet!

If you search basic or classic Granny Square this one will be top of the search.

This is also a perfect square to make into a blanket, just keep working up row after row until it reaches the size you want. Great for a beginner blanket!

I have a FULL VIDEO TUTORIAL on how to make this square and the written pattern is below.

Are you ready?

Let's make it!

Happy Making!

I love making granny squares! You can do make so many different projects with them.

This Granny Square Bag helped my stash, I used a lot of scrap yarn and didn't think too much about the colors I was using for each square. I tried to make each square a different combination.

So have fun stash busting with this bag.

It's simple, works up quickly and perfect for beginners.

One VERY important tip, make sure the yarn you are choosing is all the same weight and similar texture. It will make it easier and the squares will work up the same size.

I used cotton/cotton blends, weight 4 for this bag.

There is a diagram below that will show how I laid the squares out for seaming.

The handles are crocheted right on to the bag after seaming.

Are you ready!
