Learn to Crochet IV - Granny Square!

Postby Shandeh » Fri Jul 06, 2012 2:08 pm

Aren't you proud of yourself for learning to crochet? :D
I am so impressed to see how you have learned basic crochet stitches, and are never afraid to dive in and learn new techniques. Way to go! :thumbsup:

So far, we have learned to do slip knots, chains, single crochet, working into a chain space, working in the back loop, yarn overs, changing colors, working in the round, and even a double crochet 3 together!

Some of our earlier projects were a bit complicated, so I've decided to keep things simple this time.
We are making a basic Granny Square Dishcloth! :)

Every crocheter should know how to make a granny square. They are fun to make, and are very versatile. You can make several of them in different colors, then stitch them together to make a blanket if you want!

HOW TO VIDEOS FOR MAKING OUR PROJECT

Our basic dishcloth is crocheted with just one small skein of Bernat Handicrafter Cotton. ;)
No need to change colors, so it will be fun and easy work. The hardest part will be choosing which of the 64 colors you want! :inlove:

You will also need a 6 mm crochet hook (U.S. J/10).

That's it! Quick and easy.

Who's ready to get started making a granny square?
Your friendly Bernat Lady :D

:cloud9: I just finished the Granny Square Dishcloth and love the Bernat Handicrafter Cotton. I used the Melon Mania and made mine a little smaller.
