Techniques used:
All crochet squares are worked in the round, check that your final row count per side is correct or you will struggle to join your crochet squares at a later stage.
Gauge can be important, it’s best to stick to the same yarn weight and crochet hook thru-out making your squares or your squares would not match up.
Work ends, as you go will help you at the end when it comes to finishing the blanket unless you love spending a day at least to work on loose ends.

Yarn used in this pattern example is lightweight DK yarn. I prefer working with cotton , my preferred yarn each has an average length of 130 yds/119m per 1.75oz/50g skein/ball.
Recommended yarn for similar to finish square size is : a lightweight double knitting yarn, some crochet councils refer to this yarn as the 3/Light category. In Europe and Australia, you might see DK yarn labeled as 8-ply.
You can use any yarn of your choice, just note that by using lighter yarn and a smaller crochet hook, finished square and blanket size will be overall smaller. Using a heavier yarn and larger crochet hook, the finished size of squares and blanket will be larger.
The crochet granny square example pattern was worked up in a: 3.5 mm / US 4 /E-4 crochet hook.
