Classic Granny Square Patterns
The classic granny square is worked in rounds of three-double-crochet clusters separated by one chain, with corners of two clusters and two or three chains. Each round adds one cluster per side. It is the traditional granny square behind countless vintage afghans and remains the best introduction to square motifs.

How many chains go in a classic granny square corner?
Classic granny square corners use either two or three chains between the corner clusters. Two chains make a tighter, sharper corner, while three chains give a looser corner that lies flatter for many crocheters. If your square cups at the corners, try adding a chain; if the corners ruffle, remove one.
