These beautiful granny square and motif crochet designs are just what you’re looking for. Pick your favorite and get started!
If you’ve been around here for even a minute, you know I have a soft spot for granny squares. They’re almost always my first pick when I’m starting a new crochet project — there’s just something so satisfying about building beauty one small piece at a time.
Granny squares (and their motif cousins) are like the building blocks of crochet. With just a simple shape, you can create an incredible variety of projects, from cozy wearables to charming home décor. Their versatility is part of the magic — the same basic idea can turn into something completely different depending on your colors, layout, and finishing touches.
This collection of granny square and motif designs, with a few granny stitch inspired projects included, is full of that creative possibility. Whether you’re in the mood to make something to wear or something to brighten your home, there’s a project here waiting to jump on your hook.
Take a look — I have a feeling you’ll find at least one that makes you think, “Yep, I need to make that.”
