How to Crochet a Perfect Solid Coloured Granny Square

This pattern demonstrates how to make a perfectly square solid granny square without changing colors, using a fun variegated yarn. This pattern is slightly different from the traditional one and is ideal for those who are comfortable making granny squares.

Materials Needed

• DK weight yarn (example used: color coral reef from kenyarn.com)
• Appropriate hook for your yarn (example used: 5mm hook)

Step 1: Create the Center Ring

1. Start with a slip knot on your hook.
2. Chain 3.
3. Slip stitch into the fourth chain from your hook to create a center ring.
4. Optionally, use a magic circle, but sew your ends very well to ensure the project does not come undone.

Step 2: Foundation Round

1. Chain 2 (counts as the first double crochet).
2. Put 2 more double crochets into the center ring to create the first granny cluster.
3. Chain 1 for the corner.
4. Put 3 more double crochets into the center ring.
5. Repeat the above steps until you have four clusters with chain 1 spaces in between.
6. Slip stitch to the top of the first double crochet to join (not into the chain 2).

Step 3: Second Round

1. Chain 2 and turn your square so the back of the stitches should be facing you.
2. In the chain 1 space, work 2 double crochets to create the first granny cluster.
3. Chain 1.
4. Work 3 more double crochets into the same chain 1 space.
5. Yarn over and work into the next chain 1 space: 3 double crochets, chain 1, 3 double crochets.
6. Repeat for the remaining chain 1 spaces.
7. Slip stitch to the top of the first double crochet to join.

Step 4: Continue Working Rounds

1. Chain 2 and turn your square.
2. In the next space, put 2 double crochets.
3. Work into the first corner: 3 double crochets, chain 1, 3 double crochets.
4. Repeat for remaining corners.
5. For each side space, work 3 double crochets.
6. Slip stitch to join the round as before.

Step 5: Fourth Round and Joining

1. To join as you go, chain 2 and continue using the same pattern but start joining to the previous work on your shawl or blanket.
2. For side spaces, continue to work 3 double crochets per space.
3. For each corner: 3 double crochets, chain 1, 3 double crochets.

Important Tips

• Alternate flipping your work each round to keep your granny squares perfectly square.
• Chain 1 for corners to prevent a very open and drapey structure, especially for garments.
• Variability in chaining for corners depending on final fabric behavior (chain 2 for blankets, chain 1 for shawls and sweaters).

Conclusion

By following these steps and tips, you can create beautiful, perfectly square solid granny squares, especially with variegated yarns that eliminate the need for color changes. This method keeps the work neat and structurally sound, ideal for various crochet projects like blankets, shawls, or garments.
