Easy Granny Square Patterns Stitch Markers: Stitch markers help mark your stitches and place in a pattern. If you would like to be extra sure of what stitch count you are on or where your first stitch is, then these are a good to have on hand. The patterns are typically written in abbreviations and punctuations, teaching you how to work each round or row. On the other hand, some designers prepare their patterns in crochet diagrams made up of symbols. These can be extremely useful for visual learners as you can see how your project will turn out. Diagrams can also help you understand patterns from creators in other countries, as crochet symbols are universal. THE BASIC SUPPLIES Classic Granny Square:This is the most basic granny square pattern out there, and it is perfect for beginners. The only stitches you need to know for this one are chain stitch, slip stitch, single crochet, and double crochet.Some square patterns like coasters or dishcloths can be created with one square motif. However, if you’re making a blanket, bag, or sweater, you’ll need to learn how to join the squares to complete the project. The joining method will affect the outcome of your finished item. For example, the invisible join combines two squares without showing any seams, and the single crochet join provides a fun texture to the project. There’s no right or wrong method; explore around to find the most suitable method for your desired outcome. See our 12 ways to join a granny square guide for more inspiration.
