Hi pals! We are back this week after a much needed weekend off, and I have a granny square tutorial ready for you! This time I have it written (see below) and a video version as well! As always, if you have any questions feel free to send them my way.

If you find this tutorial helpful, head over to Sam’s Stitch Library & check out the other 20+ beginner friendly crochet & knitting tutorials! Click here & Bookmark for future reference!

The main reason for making this tutorial is that we have SO MANY granny square patterns coming out soon. A blanket, cardigan, bag, and potentially a few other things, but I am on a granny square kick and I can’t be stopped. Sorry not sorry. (And for those that aren’t granny square lovers, I still have a few patterns coming for you too! Just waiting on testers and release dates.)

Materials Needed:

• Yarn – I used Hobbii Kind Feather (this is an affiliate link. If you make a purchase using this I make a small commission, at no extra cost to you. Thank you!)

• Scissors – For cutting your yarn.
