Solid Granny Square – Pattern Info


Are you looking for a solid granny square that has no holes, no gaps and looks good from both sides? Then this Solid Granny Square pattern is the one for you!

The Solid Granny Square uses only double crochet stitches to create a solid fabric that can be used to create garments, hats, blankets, and anywhere you don’t want a see-through fabric.

If you are looking for a classic granny square, check out the traditional granny square.

Today I will show you how to crochet this easy solid granny square with a step-by-step written photo and a video tutorial created for the visual learners out there.

In the video tutorial, I will also show you how to crochet the chainless double crochet that blends well with the other stitches. And don’t forget to crochet over your ends so you don’t have to weave them in.
