Instructions

Granny Square Pattern:

Start your square:
Begin by making a slip knot and chaining 4. Join with a slip stitch to form a ring.
Round 1:
Ch 3 (counts as first dc), make 2 dc in the ring, ch 2, then make 3 dc in the ring. Repeat this 2 more times, ending with ch 2. Slip stitch into the top of the initial ch 3 to close the round. (You should have 12 dc and 4 ch-2 spaces.)
Round 2:
Slip stitch to the first ch-2 space. Ch 3, and make 2 dc in the same space. Ch 2, then make 3 dc in the same space. Repeat this in each ch-2 space around, until you reach the beginning. Slip stitch to the top of the initial ch 3 to close the round. (You should have 24 dc and 4 ch-2 spaces.)
Round 3:
Slip stitch to the first ch-2 space. Ch 3, make 2 dc in the same space, ch 2, and then 3 dc in the same space. Repeat this in each ch-2 space around. Slip stitch to close the round. (You should have 36 dc and 4 ch-2 spaces.)
Continue making rounds:
You can make additional rounds if you'd like larger squares, following the same pattern of increasing the number of dc in each ch-2 space.
Finishing:
Once you've reached your desired size, finish off the last round and weave in all ends using the tapestry needle.

Finishing Tips

Block your squares by gently stretching them to shape while they dry to ensure they lay flat.
Consider joining your squares with a slip stitch or whip stitch for a clean finish.

Optional Variations

Play around with color combinations for each round, or use a single color for a classic look.
Experiment with different yarn weights and hooks to change the size of the squares.
