Granny's Got Squares Class

Ready to make granny squares without feeling like you're unraveling a mystery? In Granny’s Got Squares, we'll break down the classic granny square one step at a time!

You'll learn how granny squares are constructed, how to recognize the different parts of a square, and - most importantly - how to read a granny square pattern chart. You'll work through a classic beginner-friendly design and then if time permits, build on those skills with a second pattern.

This class is perfect for crocheters who have never tried a granny square or who have made them before but found themselves confused, frustrated, or wondering, “Why doesn't mine look like that?”

By the end of class, you'll have the tools to confidently tackle granny square patterns on your own.
