Beautiful Crochet Granny Square

Beautiful Crochet Granny Square

Here is a step-by-step crochet tutorial for making the square shown in your image.
This design is called a twisted two-color block square β€” made from 4 triangle pieces joined while working.


🧡 DETAILED CROCHET PATTERN (Step-by-Step)

(US crochet terms)


🌿 PART 1 β€” MAKE 1 TRIANGLE

You will make 4 triangles total:
β€’ 2 green
β€’ 2 white

Each triangle is made from the center outward, like a pie slice.


πŸ”Ί Triangle Pattern (make 4)

Row 0 (foundation):

Ch 4, sl st to form ring.


Row 1:

  • Ch 3 (counts as dc)
  • 5 dc into ring β†’ 6 dc total
  • Turn.

Stitch count: 6


Row 2:

  • Ch 3
  • Inc: dc in same stitch
  • dc in next 4 stitches
  • Inc: 2 dc in last stitch
  • Turn.

Stitch count: 8


Row 3:

  • Ch 3
  • Inc: dc in same stitch
  • dc in next 6 stitches
  • Inc: dc + dc in last stitch
  • Turn.

Stitch count: 10


Row 4:

  • Ch 3
  • Inc
  • dc in next 8 stitches
  • Inc
  • Turn.

Stitch count: 12


Row 5:

  • Ch 3
  • Inc
  • dc across
  • Inc
  • Turn.

Stitch count: 14


Row 6:

Same as before.

Stitch count: 16

Cut yarn.
You should have a triangle with a long straight side and a pointed tip.


🧡 PART 2 β€” MAKE COLOR SETS

Make:
βœ” 2 green triangles
βœ” 2 white triangles


✨ PART 3 β€” ASSEMBLE THE 4 TRIANGLES

This is the important part to get the twisted shape.

Lay them like this:

Green     White
White     Green

But rotate each triangle slightly so the long edge sits diagonally.

This creates the β€œpinwheel twist” effect from the photo.


πŸ”— PART 4 β€” JOIN TRIANGLES (very detailed)

You will join along the long sides.

Use whip stitch OR single crochet.

Steps:

  1. Join top green ➝ top-right white
  2. Join top-right white ➝ bottom-right green
  3. Join bottom-right green ➝ bottom-left white
  4. Join bottom-left white ➝ top green

Now the center will look like a twisted pinwheel shape.


🟩 PART 5 β€” SQUARE BORDER (makes shape perfect)

Work around the whole piece.

Attach yarn (I recommend green):

Round 1 (evening round):

Do this slowly:

  • Work 1 dc in each stitch across straight edges
  • When you reach a point where 2 triangles meet, insert hook into BOTH triangle edges
  • When you reach a corner:
    (dc, ch 2, dc)
  • Continue around
  • Sl st to join

Your square now becomes perfectly sharp and even, like the finished photo.


πŸͺ’ PART 6 β€” OPTIONAL OUTER ROUND (if you want a cleaner edge)

  • Ch 1
  • Work sc in each stitch
  • (sc, ch 2, sc) in each corner
  • Join

Now you have a professional-looking finished block.


🧢 JOINING MANY SQUARES (like the blanket in the right photo)

Arrange each square with alternating rotations:

A B A B
B A B A
A B A B
B A B A

Join with:

  • slip stitch join (flat)
  • or single crochet join (raised)
  • or whip stitch (nearly invisible)

This will create the exact repeating geometric pattern shown in the image.
