Thanks for visiting my page! Another great beginner pattern and all around very easy crochet pattern to make! My Giant Granny Square Afghan can be made in any color(s) and size!
It's one of the easiest patterns to learn when starting out crocheting because the pattern stays the same through out the blanket and only uses 1 basic crochet stitch. It's such a classic pattern!

Notes:
CH 3 always counts as 1 DC in the pattern, Every corner must have two sets of 3 DC + 2 CHs for turning To keep my granny rows straight, I FO at each row and attached the next row starting at the corner
Pattern:
Pick your favorite way to start a circle or square: Magic Circle/Ring/Loop, Chain 4 method, Slip Stitch method
Row 1: Make circle, 2 DC into center of circle, CH 2, *3 DC into circle, CH 2, Repeat from * 2 more times, SL ST into first DC stitch made in this row
Row 2: CH 3, 2 DC in same space as CH 3 just made, CH 1, *3 DC in corner space, CH 2, 3 DC into same space, CH 1, repeat from * around the square, SL ST into first CH 3 made in this row.
