Crochet Granny Squares

[umsami]

I know how to do basic crocheting... single stitch, double stitch, etc. Is this enough to crochet a granny square?? I'd love to make a bunch and see if I can put together an afghan or baby blanket.

You also need to know how to do a slip stitch and you're all set to go.

Granny squares are very easy once you can do the slip stitch (to join the end of the square to start a new row and to attach them together). They also have the benefit of being portable and to involve a lot less counting so they are a good project if you like to crochet while you're out and about (waiting for appointments, on the bus, etc.).

Most certainly!

Have you ever browsed the book 200 Crochet Blocks for variations of the granny square? Inspiring book.
