Crochet Squares or the Crochet Granny Squares are my favourite things to crochet. These are the most versatile projects to make where you can let your imagination take a stride. The Basic Crochet Square is a Crochet Motif that is started off with a Circle which is worked in the rounds to be Finished off with a Square shape.
The Basic Crocheted Granny Squares are usually around 6 to 7 inches in size. You can use them as it is or you can join them to make big Crochet Blankets , Clothing Accessories , Bags , Tablemats and Placemats.
