Granny Squares
Welcome to Granny Squares!
Have you ever been drawn to some awesome crochet blankets on the internet? Many of them are made with granny squares or granny square variations. Not to mention the handbags, pillows, placemats, scarves, and cardigans! You just can’t believe how many designs are made with such a simple pattern.
So now, you’re going to learn how to make some granny squares! The content will cover starting in rounds, crocheting the basic square pattern, changing colours, and piecing together to make larger projects. This course is based on the foundational techniques that were covered in the Crochet Basics course; thus, we won’t go into details for each stitch. We will focus on making granny squares!
By the end of the course, you will know how to make a granny square as big or small as your heart may wish! You will learn two ways to start the granny square as well as two different joining methods. The sky’s the limit!
Throughout the videos, you’ll learn how to:
- crochet the basic granny square
- get gauge
- make a coaster set
- make a headband
- crochet a granny square blanket
- join granny squares two ways to make a pillowcase

Our final course release of 2023 is here! A popular way of making stuffed animals, the new Amigurumi: Crocheting Basic Shapes course taught by Charlotte Lee @charlotte_milkteacup teaches you the skills to tackle many of the amigurumi patterns that are available. Building up shapes through increases and decreases, and then joining the shapes together, makes amigurumi very easy to learn and enjoyable to make.

They`re a fun way to practice your crochet skills while enjoying some adorable little characters at the end of it all (which, we hope you`ll share some pics with us as well — tag us with #soscrochet and #schoolofsweetgeorgia)!
