Granny Square Afghans

The number of squares needed depends on the size of the squares and the size you want the afghan to be. After you've crocheted the number of squares you need, it's time to put them together!!

Determine the placement of each square. Bundle each row together and label it, i.e., row 1, row 2, etc.

Take the first two squares from row 1. With the front sides together, starting at the right, slip stitch the two squares together, inserting crochet hook in the top of each double crochet and chain stitch.

Take the third square from row 1 and attach it the square 2 in the same manner and continue the process until all squares in the row are attached.

Then start row 2. When that is completed, attach row 1 to row 2 by slip stitching in the same manner.

Continue on until the afghan is completed.

I like to finish the afghan with some kind of border, but it's up to you. Sometimes I double crochet a row, sometimes single crochet, sometimes a combination. Be creative!!!
