Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Start with a Magic Ring
Begin by creating a magic ring. To do this, wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop, then pull a loop of yarn through the center of the ring. This will be the foundation for your granny square.
Step 2: Round 1
Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet). Now, work 11 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring. Once you have completed your 11 dc, join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of your initial chain 3. You should have a total of 12 double crochets in this round.
Step 3: Round 2
Chain 3, then make 1 double crochet in the same stitch. Now, work 2 double crochets in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of your initial chain 3. You will have 24 double crochets at the end of this round.
Step 4: Round 3
Chain 3, then *double crochet in the next stitch, followed by 2 double crochets in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of your initial chain 3. You should have 36 double crochets now.
Step 5: Round 4
Chain 3, then *double crochet in the next 2 stitches, followed by 2 double crochets in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of your initial chain 3. You will have 48 double crochets at the end of this round.
Step 6: Round 5
Chain 1, then single crochet (sc) in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet. This round will give your square a nice finished edge.
Step 7: Round 6
Chain 3, then *skip the next stitch, double crochet in the next stitch, chain 1; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of your initial chain 3. This round creates the sunburst effect.
Step 8: Finishing Touches
Once you have completed the last round, finish off your work by cutting the yarn, leaving a tail for weaving in. Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends, ensuring your granny square is neat and tidy.
