CROCHET PATTERN
Granny Square Pattern

The basic crochet granny is a crochet motif,

blanket/throw square or Afghan square. It is
characterized or identifiable by the repeat of 3
dc-clusters and separated by one (or more)
chain/s on the sides.

The corners are accentuated with a set of two

granny clusters, separated by two or more chains
to obtain its square shape.

It is done circularly (from the middle out) and

each round will increase, resulting in your square
project getting bigger and bigger.

Traditionally, each round of the granny square

was done in another color and edged off with a
black border.

each single cluster.
