Granny Square Patterns
Find granny square color layouts charted on a grid. Each pattern shows the color arrangement for individual squares that you can join into blankets, bags, or garment panels. The community shares layouts for classic solids, ombre fades, and scrappy stash-busters. Use the palette panel in the editor to plan your yarn colors before you start.
Frequently asked
- Are these full granny square instructions?
- These are color placement charts, not stitch-by-stitch written patterns. They show which color goes where in each round or section. You will need to know the basic granny square technique (chain 3, 3 dc clusters, chain 1 corners) before using them.
- How many squares do I need for a blanket?
- That depends on your square size and desired blanket dimensions. A 6-inch square joined into a 5x7 grid makes a 30x42-inch lap blanket. Multiply your square gauge by the grid to plan your layout.
- What is the best way to join granny squares?
- Common methods include slip stitch join, mattress stitch, and join-as-you-go on the last round. Slip stitch join is fastest and creates a visible ridge. Mattress stitch gives a seamless look but takes longer. Choose based on the finish you prefer.
