[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Granny Square pattern in body and attached

Deb, thankyou for teaching.  You did a good job. I enjoyed your class.

 

You didn't put the part about optionally changing color, but it was easy.
AS I recall, just pull up a loop of the new color, instead of the old color,
and go on your way.  And hold the 2 tails, the old color and the new,
against the outside edge of the square in such a way that the yarn passes
over them and hides them.  Much easier than I thought.

I don't have much practice writing out patterns so hope this is helpful. If
you find mistakes, let me know and I'll try to correct them. 

 

Thanks for the opportunity to teach. 

 

GRANNY SQUARE INSTRUCTIONS

 

Deb Trevino, June 2026

 

MATERIALS: 4-ply yarn and comparable sized crochet hook (I prefer an H). You
will need stitch markers to help you keep your place, scissors and a tape
measure.

 

Explanatory Note: Each round of the square is begun before you reach the
fourth  corner. For example, the second round is closed with a sl st between
the two sets of 3 dc on the fourth side of the square. 

 

To begin, create a slip knot and place it on your hook. Chain 5 and sl st
into the original slip knot to form a ring. 

 

Round 1: Ch3 (counts as first dc). 2 dc into the center of the ring. * Ch 3
to form first corner, 3 dc into the ring*; repeat from * to * twice more to
complete 4 sides of the square. 

 

To close the square and create the fourth corner, Ch3 and sl st into top of
first ch3 space. Sl st between the 2 dc's and once more into the ch3 space.
Insert a stitch marker to indicate this as fourth corner.  

 

Round 2: Ch3, (counts as first dc). 2 dc in corner where you have the stitch
marker. Ch3, 3 dc in same corner. You have completed the first corner of the
second round. 

 

*Move to next corner from prior round; 3 dc, ch3, 3 dc*. Repeat twice more
to get to final corner of the round. Your yarn is between two clusters of 3
dc's. Sl st into top of ch3, then after the next two dc's. Your hook should
now be in position to begin the next round. Move your stitch marker to
indicate beginning of round 3.

 

Round 3:  Ch3, (counts as first dc). 2 dc in corner where you have the
stitch marker. Ch3, 3 dc in same corner. You have completed the first corner
of round 3. *3 dc between clusters of dc on previous round*; repeat from *
to *. Ch 3 in corner and turn. Second 3 dc in corner. 3 dc between cluster
on previous round and in third corner. *3 dc between clusters of dc on
previous round*; repeat from * to *. Ch 3 in corner and turn. 3 dc in both
clusters from previous round. As you approach fourth corner, sl st in top of
ch3 which began this round. Sl st following the dc then once more into the
corner ch3-space. Be sure to move your stitch marker to indicate beginning
of round 4.

 

Continue the pattern for three more rounds. Cut yarn and pull through final
stitch. Weave in end.
