[Nfb-krafters-korner] pattern for one large granny square

[Lauren Merryfield]

Hi,
I haven't started my project yet. I usually do half double crochets, 2
together, chain one, 2 together, chain one, etc. I usually put 4 or 6 in the
corners, depending on the type of yarn I am using; usually 4, with a chain
between the 2 sets of 2. But it does seem to ruffle if I make them large.
Thanks
Lauren

Hi Lauren,

Which Granny Square pattern are you currently using?  Are you using Half
double crochet stitches, or double crochet stitches?  How many of these
stitches are you grouping together, 2 or 3?  How many chain stitches are you
putting at the corners, 1, 2 or 3?  How many chain stitches are you putting
between groups of stitches, 0, 1, 2 or 3?

Depending on how loose or tight you crochet, it might be necessary to adjust
one or more of the components that make up a Granny Square.

Sometimes the combination of your yarn thickness and needle will impact how
flat your granny square lays.

Because you are working in rounds, the height of your stitches has to be in
proportion to the width of your stitches.  This is not an issue when you are
working back and forth in rows.

Annette

Hi,
Could someone please send me the pattern for one large granny square? I need
to make a baby blanket fast and I don't have time to make a bunch of little
squares and sew them together. I have tried to make a large square but it
always ruffles in the middle and ends up not square. 
thanks
Lauren
