Dear crochet beginners, do not be intimidated by the granny squares technique. This crochet technique might seem difficult for those making the first steps in crocheting. But I have a detailed crochet granny square tutorial and a blanket design perfect for you!

Crop Circles granny square is ideal for even absolute beginners!

The crop Circles phenomenon inspired me to make this square design. Its beautiful geometric pattern will add drama to any project you are doing. And it is very easy and fast to make.

Three rows and you are done. All you need to know is basic crochet stitches: chain, slip, single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet. All these stitches you can learn at the “school” section.

And here is a detailed quick video tutorial showing how to work it:

What projects you can make with this square

As the square has a relatively small size, you can use this design for a lot of projects: blankets, tops, cardigans, scarves, or as a decorative part or boarding for any of your knit or crochet garments. Only your fantasy is the limit!

Using this granny square I made the beautiful summer baby blanket you can see below.

The pattern for the blanket you can find here.
