Round 1: Start the Granny Square Center
Step 1 – Create a Magic Ring
Start by making a magic ring (magic circle).
If you are new to crochet, you can also use chain 4 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring.
Step 2 – Chain 3
Chain 3.
This chain counts as your first double crochet stitch.
Step 3 – Create the First Cluster
Into the magic ring, work:
• 2 double crochet stitches
Now you have a 3 double crochet cluster.
Step 4 – Create the First Corner
Chain 2.
This chain space forms the first corner of the granny square.
Continue Round 1
Repeat the following pattern three more times inside the ring:
• 3 double crochet
• chain 2
You should now have four clusters and four corners.
Finish Round 1
Pull the magic ring tight to close the center.
Slip stitch into the third chain of the starting chain.
“to secure the stitch, insert the hook from the back, and pull the yarn loop."
Fasten off the yarn and leave a small tail.
“now, we have four square corners and four clusters."
Your first round of the granny square is now complete.
Round 2: Change Color for a Multi-Color Granny Square
Now the granny square starts to look more colorful and vibrant.
Instead of continuing with the same yarn, we will switch to a new color.
Attach the magenta yarn in any corner space.
Step 1
Make 1 single crochet.
Then chain 2.
Step 2
In the same corner space, work:
• 2 double crochet stitches
Continue Round 2
In each of the next three corner space, repeat the following:
• 3 double crochet
• chain 2
• 3 double crochet
This creates the square shape of the granny square pattern.
When you reach the starting corner:
• work 3 double crochet
• chain 2
Join with a slip stitch in the third stitch.
“to secure the stitch, insert the hook from the back, and pull the yarn loop.”
Fasten off the yarn and leave a small tail.
Your second round is now complete.
“this is so cute!"
Round 3: Add the Third Color
Now we will add the third color to make the granny square larger.
For this round, use white yarn.
Join the yarn in any corner space.
“make three chains.”
“two double crochet in the same corner space."

• 3 double crochet
Corner Pattern
In the next each corner work:

This round increases the size of the granny square and adds more color contrast.
Your Round 3 is now complete.
Round 4: Final Color Round
For the final round we will add the fourth color: lavender.
This color balances the bright tones and gives the granny square a clean and professional finish.
Join the yarn in any corner space.
“work three chains.”
