About Crochet Squares

Crochet Squares is a small pattern blog focused on two things: granny squares and crochet bags. Our goal is simple — free patterns that are clear enough for a beginner to finish without getting stuck.

How we write our patterns

• Every pattern is written in US crochet terms, with UK notes where it matters.
• Important steps have a photo, and squares come with a colour stitch diagram.
• Each pattern has a printable pattern card and a free PDF guide.

Using our patterns

Our patterns are free for personal use. You're welcome to make and gift the projects. Please don't re-publish our text, photos or PDFs — link to the pattern page instead.
