Free Granny Square Crochet Patterns

The granny square is crochet's most iconic motif: clusters of double crochet worked in rounds from the centre out, infinitely customisable and famously portable. This page collects free granny square crochet patterns — classic squares, floral-centre variations and four-corner units — with translated US-standard instructions and charted logic explained round by round.

If you are new to granny squares, master the classic square first: it teaches corner spacing and cluster rhythm that every variation builds on. Change colours between rounds to use up scraps, and block your squares before joining or the finished blanket will never lie flat. One square is an afternoon; a blanket is a winter — both are worth it.
