A granny square pattern is a crochet square made up of several pieces that are stacked together to create a pattern. It can consist of different colors and textures and countless variations are possible.

Crocheting a granny square pattern requires some knowledge of the basic stitches and the pattern you want to use. Below you will find a general explanation of how to crochet a granny square pattern:
Start by working a chain of four chains and close the chain in a ring with a slip stitch.
Chain three to form the first double crochet stitch, then work two double crochets into the ring. Crochet two chain stitches and work three more double crochets in the ring. This forms the first corner of the granny square.
Chain three to form the next double crochet stitch, then work two double crochets into the ring. Chain one and work three more double crochets in the ring. This forms the second side of the granny square.
Continue to work 3 chain stitches to start each new side of the granny square. Crochet two tr in the next opening (the corner of the granny square), chain 2 and work 3 more tr in the same opening. Continue the pattern until you have four sides.
