A Granny Square Blanket, Step by Step

Learn one square, then turn it into a blanket.

What you need

Worsted-weight yarn in a few colours and a 5 mm hook. Each square is about 13 cm after four rounds.

Step 1: Start the square

Work four clusters of 3 double crochet into a ring, with 2 chains between them for the corners.

Step 2: Join the squares

Hold two squares together and slip stitch or single crochet along the edge. One length of yarn joins a whole row.

Step 3: Add a border

Work a granny round around the whole blanket, with a (3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc) corner at each corner.

Or make one giant square

Keep adding rounds until it's the size of a blanket. How many squares each size needs is in the full pattern.
