I designed this pattern specifically for my Beginner Crochet Classes. It explains each step simply for even the newest crocheter.
The featured stitch is made up of Double Crochets, so it works up quickly and easily. Granny squares are very versatile and can be used to make a variety of items. It is a staple in every crocheter’s arsenal.
In this pattern, I will show you the basics of the granny square. Then, I will show you how to assemble the simple square into a tote bag or a tablet sleeve. Or continue the square to your desired size for an adorable baby blanket.

Tablet Sleeve: 175-200 yds worsted weight yarn
Tote bag: 200-250 yds worsted weight yarn
Baby blanket: 250-1500 yds worsted weight yarn
