No matter if you’re a seasoned crocheter, or this is your first attempt at this cozy craft, almost everyone finds their way to some form of the crochet granny square.

The next time you’re watching a movie, or bingeing some new TV show, I challenge you to keep an eye out for crochet afghans draped in the background of living room shots. More often than not, you’ll see a crochet granny square popping into the frame of your favorite scenes—once you start seeing them, you’ll never be able to stop!

And it makes sense why they’re so popular of a set piece! There’s truly little else that conveys so quickly and simply the feeling of coziness and a well lived-in home.

Supplies:

• Crochet hook in any size appropriate for your yarn weight (example uses hook size I-9/5.5 mm and medium/4 weight yarn)
• Yarn A (solid and striped squares)– pink (example uses Red Heart Super Saver: Persimmon)
• Yarn B (striped square)– navy (example uses Red Heart Super Saver: Soft Navy)
• Yarn C (striped and diagonal squares)– lime (example uses Big Twist Value: Slime)

• Yarn E (striped square)– magenta (example uses Red Heart Super Saver: Mulberry)
• Tapestry needle

Terminology:

This free crochet granny square pattern uses English / US terminology:

• st (sts) = stitch (stitches)
• ch = chain stitch
• ch-sp = chain space
• sl st = slip stitch
• sc = single crochet
• dc = double crochet
• rep = repeat

Please note that this pattern is written so that each crochet stitch abbreviation is attached to a number, such as 1sc, 2sc, etc. This number denotes how many of that stitch is to be worked into the same stitch or chain space.

In other words, 1sc = one single crochet, whereas 2sc = two single crochet worked into one stitch or chain space.
