If you are looking for something that is easy to crochet and perfect for a beginner a square pattern or classic granny square pattern is it.
Below you will find nine different crochet squares that are all free and simple to crochet. Enjoy!
The Yarn That’s Perfect For Squares
I love using all types of yarn for square projects. I tend to use Lion Brand yarns such as Vanna’s Choice and any of the Thick & Quick lines. They are easily my go-to’s when working up a square (or any type of) pattern.
Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice
Vanna’s Choice is a 100% acrylic yarn that is easy to find and is fairly inexpensive. Learn more about Vanna’s Choice Yarn and see all the color options.
Lion Brand Thick & Quick Varieties
Wool Ease Thick & Quick and Thick & Quick (without wool!) are great choices for squares that you want to work up quickly. This super bulky yarn makes for a fast project which in my opinion is always a good choice when crocheting.
Keep in mind these yarns are ones that I love and aren’t necessarily for everyone. Have a different favorite yarn for squares? Let me know in the comments.
