Crochet granny squares have been around for a very long time and till date, they look amazing! The beauty about them is that you can use one granny square design to make an endless amount of projects from crochet granny square cardigans, to crochet granny square blankets and even granny square bags.
If you are a lover of big crochet projects then you may consider crochet granny square blankets which you do not entirely need a crochet pattern for but rather a free crochet granny square pattern and then figuring out the dimensions you want for the blanket.
Personally, i love me the sunburst crochet granny square! I just think it looks amazing in so many different colors as a blanket, cardigan or even a bag.
Can beginners crochet granny square projects?
Yes! However, you need to pick the type of granny square that fits your crochet level. The Retro 3D granny square is not entirely a beginner crochet project so i would recommend going for something more beginner friendly like the solid granny square which is more basic and straight to the point. But if you love a challenge, you can attempt the more advanced patterns although i would not recommend!
