This is a tutorial on how to crochet a granny square to any size for complete beginners. No prior crochet knowledge is needed as I go through everything you need to know step-by-step. I go through basic skills such as holding your yarn and hook, making a slipknot, making chains, slipstitches and double crochets. Although I use US terminology, people who want to use UK can also use this tutorial and every time I say double crochet, think treble crochet instead. I show how you can turn a small granny square into a giant granny square blanket and offer plenty of tips and tricks along the way.

GRANNY LOVE CAL DETAILS
The Granny Love Crochet Along is running from 18th March to 31st May. We are making a giant granny square blanket or a granny stripes blanket, whichever you prefer. We will share our journey with each other on social media and on the Meema Makes Crochet Club Facebook Group, offering support and encouragement to everyone who is joining in. If you want to make the exact blanket in this tutorial, it is called the Dreaming of Autumn Blanket and you can make it by following the CAL YouTube tutorials. The order of the colours will be published weekly in the Facebook group and on Ravelry for 6 weeks starting 18th March.

I apologise for the poor quality audio in this video. I have invested in a good microphone and this will not be a problem for future uploads after 18th March. Thankyou for understanding the teething problems that go along with starting a new YouTube channel!
