Granny Square Crochet Along Revisited (Week One)

This post contains affiliate links

Are you excited? This is the first week of this years Granny Square CAL. You can find all the information here: http://www.knotyournanascrochet.com/2014/05/granny-square-cal-materials.html. We are starting off with some simple squares.

1st Granny Square

I thought we could start with a basic granny square.

The pattern/awesome tutorial can be found here: http://bunnymummy-jacquie.blogspot.co.nz/2011/10/how-to-crochet-granny-square.html

 I did 7 rounds with DK/Light Worsted Weight yarn and a 5mm hook to get an 8 inch square. My first 2 rounds measure 2 inches if you need to match gauge.

Make sure to weave in ends as you finish each square to avoid doing it all at the end.

I know it say's it is a 6 inch square but I found using a 5mm hook and after doing a round of white it measured 8 inches.

For the 4th-7th rounds continue with the basic granny square pattern as in the 1st granny square.

Now if you have noticed I am doing the last round of each granny square with white. This is going to be my border colour.
