If that feels difficult, you can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Chain 4<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Join with a slip stitch to form a ring<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This ring is the center of your granny square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Round 1 \u2013 Create the Center<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work 2 double crochets into the ring<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chain 2 (this creates the corner)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work 3 double crochets into the ring<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeat the <em>3 dc, ch 2<\/em> pattern four times<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Join with a slip stitch to the top of chain 3<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should now have <strong>4 groups of stitches<\/strong>, forming a square shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Round 2 \u2013 Build the Square<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Slip stitch into the next chain-2 space<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chain 3 (counts as first dc)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work 2 dc, chain 2, then 3 dc into the same space<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Move to the next corner space and repeat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Join with a slip stitch at the end<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your square will now be clearly visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Continue Growing the Granny Square<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each new round follows the same simple rule:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In each <strong>corner space<\/strong>, work:<br><strong>3 double crochets, chain 2, 3 double crochets<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In <strong>side

best things about granny squares is color play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">To Change Colors:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Finish the last stitch of the round<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Join the new color with a slip stitch<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Continue crocheting as usual<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Color changes make granny squares
