Granny Square Crochet For Beginners US Version – Shelley Husband

Step 1 : ch 2. Done. Finishing the Round Now we need to finish off Round 1 by joining our last ch 2 corner to the 3 ch we made at the start to begin our round. We do this by inserting the hook into the loop at the back of the 3rd ch where the needle is pointing and finish the round with a ss. (The step by step instructions are next.) Step 1 : insert hook into the back of the 3rd chain of our st ch. Step 2 : now yo and pull the yarn through the 2 loops on the hook to make your ss.

There you go. You’ve finished Round 1. Can you see you have 4 x 3 dc shells & 4 x 2 ch corner spaces? That’s what makes the first round of a Granny Square. HINT : Don’t worry too much about your tension or tightness of stitches the first time. You are learning and consistent tension will come with practice. Back to Contents Round 2 The second round is where you start the making corners as they will be from now on, which are 2 shells separated by 2 ch. This 2 ch is called a “2 chain space”.

ie (3 dc, 2 ch, 3 dc) = a corner. To get to the next corner, you make 1 ch. This is called a “1 ch space”. Here’s how you do that : Making the first shell Step 1 : 3 ch (st ch) in place of a dc. Step 2 : 2 dc into the 2 ch space of the last round. You are kind of working backwards a little bit.

You insert your hook next to the 3 ch you just made where the needle is pointing in the following picture. You insert your hook the same as how the needle is pointing. Remember we will finish this corner at the end of the round. Now, we need to get to the next corner space.

Step 1 : ch 1. Done. Making a corner Now it’s time to make our first corner that will be the same for the rest of your Granny Square, no matter how big you make it.
