The solid granny is based on the double crochet, but is more dense than a basic granny. It is great for many crochet projects like blankets, bags and event tops.

The Basic (Classic, traditional) granny square is the simplest granny square to learn and is perfect for beginners. It is based on 3 basic crochet stitches. Characteristics for this pattern are 3 double crochet stitches together creating a cluster (group of stitches). After you master the basic granny, a great way to use it is to make blankets, scarves, vests, and many more different projects.

This square looks like a fun cross between a sunflower and an anemone. 3 rounds of puff stitches in the middle give it an eye-catching look and a unique texture. The size of the square is approximately 4”x4” (10 x 10 cm), depending on the yarn and hook used.

This pretty square measures 12′ x 12′ and you have to be familiar with or learn how to use long post loops. The square is designed in festive colors, but you can use your favorite color combo as well. Although the flower motif was not intended, it looks like a pansy to me.

The Finding Balance square is a beautiful, highly textured square with a very developed surface. Given the right choice of colors, this will be a stunning center piece or recurring motif in an afghan or blanket. The prominent edge will strongly delineate the squares from one another and produce a very vibrant pattern. Of course, you can also use this as a stand-alone object, such as for under a pot or a flower vase.

Here is another great idea for a square to include in your blanket or afghan projects. This light and airy square will produce blankets with a very interesting texture, that can be further enhanced by varying the colors used. Moreover, the pattern is easy to make and your afghan projects will just fly off the hook.
