I love a crochet granny square and there are so many different ways to use them, like making blankets, sweaters, cardigans, scarves and more.
If you’re totally new to crochet and want to see if it’s right for you, crochet granny squares are a great place to start.
This one is very beginner friendly 🙂 I’ve included the written pattern and video tutorial down below. Happy crocheting 🙂

From here on you’re just going to repeat round 5. The only difference will be the stitch count. You will increase by 1 group of the dc before you crochet into the corner/ch 2 sp. So that means every round you will automatically increase by 4 groups of dc. Easy!
