How to crochet for beginners: Granny Square Class

If you’ve ever wanted to start crocheting but didn’t know where to begin, this class is for you! In How to Crochet for Beginners: Granny Square Class, I’ll walk you step-by-step through making a large, beginner-friendly granny square that looks impressive but is surprisingly simple.

This granny square is larger than the typical size, which makes it a great choice if you’d like to build up bigger projects like cozy blankets or stylish cardigans without having to join dozens of smaller squares. To keep things extra beginner-friendly, we’ll be using only one color throughout the project. meaning no cutting and rejoining yarn after every round. Less fuss, more fun!

The stitches may look complex, but don’t worry, they’re really just groups of double crochets worked in different ways around the square. Along the way, you’ll get hands-on practice with core skills every beginner needs:

• Crocheting in the round

• Joining rounds neatly

• Increasing stitches

• Keeping count as you go

Whether you use a chunky yarn and big hook for a bold, oversized square or lighter yarn for something delicate, this project is flexible and fun. By the end of class, you’ll have your own finished granny square and the confidence to start turning it into bigger creations.
