Learning to crochet a granny square blanket is very easy as the method used is similar for all the rows. The following steps will show you how this is done.
Required Tools and Materials
Yarn
Crochet hook (any size will do but H is frequently utilized for the worsted yarn; get a larger hook if you will be using a large weight yarn)
Step 1
Buy the yarn you prefer. Get a hook that matches up with it.
Step 2
Chain six and create a slip knot that encompasses the hook. Make sure the yarn is enveloped around the hook. Now pull through the knot’s loop. After the yarn had been pulled and wrapped, pull one more in the loop. Do it through the one you made earlier. Make sure there is a bit of yarn at the start in case it is required later.
Step 3
The next step to crochet a granny square blanket is to slip stitch at the 1st chain. This will create a ring. With the loop in the hook, pull a new one through it. The new loop should be pulled through the chain stitch too.
Step 4
Chain three. Next, create a double three crochet in the middle of the ring.
Step 5
Chain two. Create a three double crochet in the middle of the ring.
Step 6
Chain two.
Step 7
Repeat it a couple more times. You will have four clusters of 3 double crochet (dc).
Step 8
To end the first row, slip stitch at the top of the 3 chain.
Step 9
You can start the new row with another color if you want. Begin by chaining three.
Step 10
Three double crochet in the corner. Make three double, chain 2 and 3 double at the space made by the chain two.
Step 11
Chain two to the other proceeding corner. Repeat the steps. Make all the corners. Now you have to slip stitch on the 1st corner. This ends the round.
Just keep making as many rounds as desired. Remember that the side space will go up. By stitching up multiple squares you will end up
with a nice afghan.
Tip: use light colored yarns because the darker ones are harder to count. It often helps to use a big hook as work can proceed more quickly.
Understanding how to crochet a granny square blanket is easier than it seems. With a bit of practice, the process will become second nature to you.
