How to Crochet a Multicolored Granny Square for Beginners

Materials Needed:

1. Yarn of your choice in various colors
2. Crochet hook (4mm)
3. Darning needle
4. Scissors

Step 1: Starting the Granny Square

• Choose your first color yarn and create a magic ring.
• Chain 3 (counts as a double crochet) and then work 2 double crochets into the ring.
• Chain 2, then work 3 more double crochets into the ring.
• Repeat the above step to create a total of 4 groups of 3 double crochets.
• Pull the tail of the magic ring to close it and slip stitch to the top of the initial chain 3 to form a square.

Step 2: Adding a New Color

• Join a new color yarn by making a slip knot and attaching it to the space before the tail left from the previous color.
• Chain 3 (counts as a double crochet) and work 3 double crochets in the same space.
• Chain 2, then work 3 more double crochets in the same space to form a corner.
• Repeat the corner pattern around the square.

Step 3: Continuing with Different Colors

• Change colors as desired by attaching the new color in a chain space.
• Repeat the pattern of 3 double crochets, chain 2, 3 double crochets in each chain space around the square.
• Continue this pattern for as many rounds as you'd like to grow your granny square.

Step 4: Finishing Off

• Once you're satisfied with the size of your granny square, fasten off the yarn by cutting it and weaving in the ends with a darning needle.
• Tie a secure knot to finish off the last color used.
• Trim any excess yarn and secure the tails to ensure a neat finish.

Step 5: Final Touches

• Turn your granny square to the right side to hide any knots.
• Optionally, use a darning needle to weave in any remaining tails for a clean look.
