Easy Ways To Join Granny Squares Together

Once you have completed multiple granny squares, the next step is to join them together to create a larger project. 

And there are many ways to do this, depending on the desired final product and the look you want to achieve. 

Here are a few techniques for joining granny squares:

  1. Whipstitch - This simple method use a needle and thread to sew the squares together. The stitches are worked through the back loops of each square, creating an invisible seam on the front.
  2. Single crochet join - This method involves using a single crochet stitch to join the squares together. The squares are held with the wrong sides facing each other, and the single crochet stitches are worked through the back loops of the squares to create a decorative border.
  3. Slip stitch join - This method involves using a slip stitch to join the squares together. The squares are held with the right sides facing each other, and the slip stitch is worked through the back loops of each square to create a decorative ridge on the front.
  4. Join-as-you-go - This method involves crocheting the squares together as you work on each square. This creates a continuous seam that eliminates the need to sew the squares together later.

What To Make With Granny Squares

You can make many different things with granny squares. Here are a few ideas:

  1. Blankets - Combine multiple daisy granny squares to make a cozy and colorful blanket.
  2. Pillows - Join a few granny squares and line the backs with a matching fabric to create a beautiful pillow cover
  3. Coasters - Make smaller versions of the granny squares to use as coasters.
  4. Bags - Use multiple granny squares to create a unique and eye-catching bag.
  5. Scarves - Combine several granny squares to make a beautiful lacy scarf.
  6. Clothing - Incorporate granny squares into a dress, skirt, or top for a unique and fashionable look.
  7. Home decor - Use the granny squares to add a touch of handmade charm to curtains, table runners, or wall hangings.
