Colorful Crochet Granny Squares

Materials:

Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn in assorted colors (about 50 grams of each color)
Hook: 5.0 mm (H-8) crochet hook
Scissors
Tapestry needle for weaving ends

Gauge:

For this project, a gauge of 4 inches x 4 inches should equal 10 stitches and 10 rows of double crochet. To measure your gauge, crochet a 10x10 square using your chosen yarn and hook, then measure it with a ruler.

Abbreviations:

ch = chain
dc = double crochet
sl st = slip stitch
sp = space
st = stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Granny Square Pattern:

Make a Foundation Chain: Start with a magic ring or chain 4 and join to form a circle.
Round 1: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), work 2 dc into the ring. Ch 2, work 3 dc into the ring. Repeat this 3 more times, joining with a sl st to the top of the ch 3 to close the round. You should have 4 clusters with 2 ch spaces between them.
Round 2: Slip stitch to the first ch 2 space. Ch 3 (counts as first dc), work 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in the same space. In each ch 2 space of the previous round, repeat: (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc). Join with a sl st to the top of the ch 3.
Round 3: Slip stitch to the first ch 2 space. Ch 3, work 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in the same space. In the next ch 2 space of the previous round, repeat: (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc). Continue for all corners. Join with a sl st to the top of the ch 3.
Round 4 and Beyond: Continue in the same manner, adding rounds until your squares are about 6 inches per side, ending with a sl st in the last round. You can use different colors for each round to create a colorful patchwork look.

Finishing:

Cut yarn, leaving a long tail for weaving in. Use the tapestry needle to weave in all ends securely. Optionally, blocking your squares can help them lay flat and maintain their shape.

Optional Variations:

Experiment with the number of rounds or colors to create different sizes of granny squares.
Join your squares together using the whip stitch method or a slip stitch join to make a blanket or throw.
