how to crochet a mini granny square

The very first thing I ever crocheted was a mini granny square. Oh it was dreadful. Yes, honestly, have a look here. See what I mean?

Nevertheless, it was the first thing I every learned (and I studied hard), my first project (the springtime throw, oh my) and my first crochet love.

The love of the mini granny square has stayed with me forever, I use them to make all sorts of things and I can't quite get enough of them. So versatile, so quick, so many colour options and so easy to learn.

These mini granny squares are a great introduction to the world of granny squares, just two rounds of pure awesomeness, five minutes of your time and TA DA! Mini Granny is yo best friend.

Happy crocheting YO!
