Single Granny Square Crochet

My appreciation for handmade started back in grade school. We had a Home Economics course where we learned how to do basic cooking, table setting, sewing, crochet and cross stitch. Sounds really cool, doesn’t it?

Granny squares can be used for a lot of items. They can be used for blankets and throws, scarves, bags and for home accents and decor.

I remember this pattern as my first crochet project. I made a table centerpiece using bright colored scrap yarns that I had. The finished product measured about 12 inches x 12 inches. Now, I am wondering if my mom still has it.

It is a very simple pattern. I did not write it down or had it memorized but it is so simple that crocheting it just naturally flows with its logical design.

Below are the stitches used. If you need some help or a refresher on how to do them, I have the links ready for you.
