Simple Granny Square Crochet Pattern

The crocheted Simple Granny Square is an all-time favorite of crocheters everywhere! Best of all it is super easy and fun to make. With the addition of color changes and/or a multi-color yarn, the design options are endless. Once all the motifs are crocheted, join them with a simple whip stitch. Crochet motif patterns are a great way to learn how to crochet, with short, bite-sized lessons. You can make as many (or few) as you want. And you don't have to decide on your end piece right away - motifs can be assembled into all sorts of objects. Once you have enough motifs (or squares), simply seam (hand sew) them together to create your final piece! This is perfect to create larger projects like pillows, blankets and rugs. But you can make smaller things like bags, headbands and scarves. In the end you'll end up with a piece of crochet fabric that can be used for almost anything!

This PDF will guide you through making a single Simple Granny Square. All motif patterns are completely customizable, including variations (fill-in pieces!) and charts to help you adjust the size to your project.
