*Finished granny square measures approximately 10" x 10"
Materials needed:
-Any Super Chunky #6 weight scrap yarn (I used Lion Brand Thick & Quick yarn in Fig, Cranberry, Hudson Bay, Navy + Loops & Threads Cozy Wool yarn in “Velvet” in the example tutorial square pics below)
-11.5mm crochet hook
-Scissors
-Tapestry needle or Smaller crochet hook (to help weave in ends)
Abbreviations:
Ch = chain
St = stitch
Sl st = slip stitch
Sc = single crochet
Dc = double crochet
How to change yarn colors:
When you reach the very last stitch of the round, DO NOT complete the
last “yarn over and pull through” of that stitch – instead, use the next
color to pull through and complete that final stitch. Cut the previous
yarn color, leaving a 4 to 5” tail, and tie it to the tail of the new yarn
color you just attached.
Granny Square Directions:
Round 1: Ch 3, and sl st to the 1st ch to create a loop.
Then, ch 2 (counts as 1st dc), and work 2 dc into the loop. Ch 2 (creates
1st “corner”) *work 3 dc into the same loop, ch 2* repeat from * two
more times, creating 4 dc clusters total. Then insert hook as if to sl st to
the top of the beginning ch 2, and pull through with a new color.
Round 2: Ch 2, turn work. Work 2 dc into the 1st ch-2 space from round
below.
Ch 2, and work 3 dc into the SAME ch-2 space (this creates the
1st corner for this round). *3 dc in the next ch-2 space from the
previous round, ch 2, 3 dc in the SAME space*
Repeat from * two more
times*, once in each remaining ch-2 space from the previous round.
Then insert hook as if to sl st to the top of beginning ch 2, and pull
through with a new color.
Round 3: Ch 2, turn work. Work 2 dc into the 1st cluster space from
round below.
Then, work 3 dc into the next ch-2 space from previous
round.
Ch 2, and work 3 dc into the SAME ch-2 space from the previous
round (creating the 1st corner of the round) *work 3 dc into the next
cluster space from the previous round.
Then, work 3 dc into the next ch-2 space from previous round. Ch 2, and work 3 dc into the SAME ch-2 space from the previous round (creating another corner)* Repeat from * around, putting a 3 dc cluster into each regular cluster space from the previous round, and 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc into each “corner” of the round. Then insert hook as if to sl st to the top of the beginning ch 2, and pull through with a new color.
Round 4: Ch 2, turn work. Work 2 dc into the 1st cluster space from
round below. Then, work 3 dc into the next ch-2 space from previous
round. Ch 2, and work 3 dc into the SAME ch-2 space from the previous
round (creating the 1st corner of the round) *work 3 dc into each of the
next 2 cluster spaces from the previous round. Then, work 3 dc into the
next ch-2 corner space from previous round. Ch 2, and work 3 dc into
the SAME ch-2 corner space from the previous round (creating another
corner)*
Repeat from * around, putting a 3 dc cluster into each regular
cluster space from the previous round, and 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc into each
“corner” of the round. Then insert hook as if to sl st to the top of the

round. Ch 2, and work 3 dc into the SAME ch-2 space from the previous
round (creating the 1st corner of the round)
Continue around, putting a 3 dc cluster into each regular cluster space from the previous round, and 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc into each ch-2 space “corner” of the round. Slip stitch to the top of the beginning ch 2 to join round.
Round 6: Ch 1 (do NOT turn), and work 1 sc into each stitch (or between each cluster space from previous round),
and work 3 sc in each ch-2 space “corner” from the previous round, working around the entire round.
Slip stitch to the 1st sc of the round to join.
