  • Repeat what is in between the stars from * to * until the end of the round.
  • If you have a ** in your row you need to follow the pattern from * to * all the way around and then when you get near the end of the round you will finish your last repeat at ** because you can no longer complete the entire repeat, then follow what it says to do to complete the round.
  • Read each row carefully before starting the round.

Fasten off and weave in ends. Move on to blocking.

Blocking:

If you are using natural fiber yarn – Soak the finished granny square for 10 minutes in cool water and squeeze excess water out gently. Do not twist. Lay damp square on blocking boards and use blocking pins to hold in place. Let your granny square dry completely before unpinning.

If you are using synthetic yarn – You can steam block either with a hand steamer or the steam function of your iron by holding the steamer above your granny square for a couple of seconds making sure you don’t touch the yarn otherwise it will burn.
