Crochet Simple Granny Square. Crochet is an ancient technique that has enchanted generations. Among the many projects that can be realized, the simple square is a timeless classic. In this article, we’ll share a step-by-step guide on how to crochet a simple square, inspired by grandma’s techniques. With just a few basic materials and a little patience, you can create unique and charming pieces.
Materials needed to make
Before starting the project, it is important to have the following materials at hand:
Crochet thread: choose a thread of your choice, of medium thickness, that matches the final purpose of your square. Colors may vary according to your creativity and personal preference.
Crochet hook: the choice of crochet hook depends on the thickness of the thread you have chosen. Check the thread manufacturer’s recommendations to find the proper needle.
Scissors: Sharp scissors are needed to cut the thread at the end of the project.
Now, let’s go to the step-by-step guide to create a simple crochet square:
Step 1: Make the initial chain
To start, make a starting chain. Wrap the thread around the index finger and pass the end of the thread through the formed circle. Then remove your finger and tighten the thread, forming a loop. Insert the needle into the loop and pull the end of the thread to tighten the starting chain.
Step 2: Make the high points
Now make the double crochets in the starting chain. To do this, insert the hook into the first stitch on the chain, make a loop and pull it through the stitch. Then make two more loops and pull them through the first two loops on the hook. Repeat this process for each stitch in the starting chain.
Step 3: Make the rows
Continue making double crochets in each stitch on the previous row until you reach the desired width of the square. At the end of each row, make a chain to go up to the next row. Repeat this process until you reach the desired height for the square.
Step 4: Finish the square
To finish the square, make the last row of double crochets, as in the previous rows. When you reach the end of the last row, cut the thread, leaving a few inches overhang. Thread the end of the thread through the last stitch and pull to tighten. Then use the scissors to cut the excess thread.
Crocheting a simple square, inspired by Grandma’s techniques, is a rewarding and relaxing project. With just a few basic supplies and following our step-by-step guide, you’ll have your crochet piece finished in no time.
