How To Crochet A Half Granny Square

Half Granny Square – Pattern Info

Half Granny Squares are a variation of the traditional granny square and they are useful in intricate designs for blankets, cardigans, and bags.

The most popular use for a half granny square is to fill the gaps and create straight edges when you join granny squares diagonally for blankets, or in garment constructions to shape the arm holes.

And today I will show you how to crochet it with a step-by-step written photo and a video tutorial for those of you who are visual learners.

In the video tutorial, I will also show you how to crochet over your ends so you don’t have to weave them in. Nobody likes weaving in ends!
