Hey Everyone! Today I wanted to share with you the traditional one color granny square tutorial with you! This method is slightly different than the type of granny square that changes colors and when I asked my Facebook live audience if it would be helpful, the answer was a major… yes!
Granny squares are one of the most iconic and popular projects in the crochet world. My favorite thing about granny squares is that since you make 1 at a time, they can be very fun and satisfying. I also love that you can use some modern colors or cool yarn to make this nostalgic and familiar design modern.

Twice a month would be fine. Most of the pod casts I watch on YouTune are twice a month. Plus you are a very busy lady. Would like a suggestion as to what crochet pattern would be suitable for a chemo hat/cap?
2x/month and a name too would be awesome. Melanie I am so grateful for you and your videos! Because of you and your videos I’ve been teaching myself how to crochet, again, use your quilting tips/instructions, and make many projects. You’re SO EASY TO LEARN FROM!! THANKYOU isn’t enough!
Twice a month is great!
Yes, twice a month is great.
Twice a month would be great for me. I am a knitter however years ago I did crochet and I have been wanting to get back to
doing some crocheting so this is great! Thank you.
Twice a month will be perfect!
Most definitely a name, I’m sure you will have a great one.
I think that twice a month is great as well. Also, do you know the brand and color names of the mint and also the pink self striping color yarn that you used for the granny squares?? I like how they both turned out. They look great.
Thanks!
Twice a month would be great!
