It’s So Easy! 46 Easy Crochet Granny Square Patterns

Basic Rectangle Granny – This is such a cute rectangle granny square and it’s a great beginner pattern. Using an H hook and worsted weight yarn, this rectangle granny is 6 inches by 8 inches when complete. However, you can make this rectangle larger by just continuing with the pattern. I’ve heard plenty of people learn how to crochet a granny square for the first time and then ended up crocheting around and around until they ended up with a big granny square blanket. It’s a great idea and a good way to practice your stitches.

April Square – I might be partial to this square since my birthday is in April, and every time I see this pattern I smile. Nonetheless, this is an easy pattern that uses two colors in a relatively simple way. This square crochets up quickly so it’s great for granny square afghans that need to be done in a timely manner.

Popcorn Lace 12″ Afghan Square – This is a 12-inch square, so it’s a little bigger than the ones above. It’s very easy to crochet in just 10 rounds of basic stitches. I like this square because of its lacy structure, which makes it great for lighter throws. You could also crochet a bunch of these to make a lightweight baby blanket too.
