Notes:
-Ch3 at beginning counts as dc
-Sl st to join each round
Start with a magic circle
Row 1: Ch3, 2dc, ch3, [3dc, ch3], repeat [] 2 more times, sl st into top of ch3 {4 dc groups, 4 ch3 spaces, 4 sides}
Row 2: Ch3, 2dc into same space, ch1, skip next 3st, [3dc into next corner, ch3, 3dc into same space, ch1], repeat [] around, 3dc into first ch3 space, ch3, sl st to join
Row 3: Ch3, 2dc into same ch3 space, ch1, [(3dc in ch1 space, ch1)until corner, (3dc, ch3, 3dc) into ch3 corner], repeat [] around, 3dc into first ch1 space, ch3, sl st to join
Row 4: Ch3, 2dc into same ch3 space, ch1, [(3dc in ch1 space, ch1)until corner, (3dc, ch3, 3dc) into ch3 corner], repeat [] around, 3dc into first ch1 space, ch3, sl st to join & cast off
The end result is a 4 x 4 crochet block. Each side should be uniform in length, allowing you to easily map out your next project.
Happy crafting!
The Granny Square is arguably the most recognizable and most essential crochet patterns. Think of the limitless building possibilities you have with a 4x4 Lego brick; Granny Squares are the same way! If you can make a granny square, you can make anything from coasters and blankets to miniature couches and Christmas tree ornaments.
