Classic Crochet: The Granny Stitch

The classic granny stitch pattern is worked using chains and double crochet stitches. Tamara shows you how to work the stitch pattern in rows and rounds. Then tackle increases and decreases.

Once you're familiar with the fundamental stitch, it's time to tackle your first square. Work through the basic square in a single color, then learn how to make a two-color version, playing with color along the way.

Now that you have the basic granny square under your belt, find out how to make it better. From a magic circle start that keeps your center tight to chainless stitches, Tamara gives your grannies a professional polish.
