Oh Granny Stitch! Oh Granny Stitch! How diverse and fun are you! The crochet granny stitch is one of the most recognizable stitches in crochet. The granny stitch is easy to make, works up fairly quickly, and it’s one of those stitches that require little to no concentration to make. Take a look at the amazing designs collected in this Granny Inspired Designs Crochet Pattern Round Up.

With the granny stitch being a prominent crochet stitch, I created a Granny Inspired Designs Crochet Round Up of free crochet patterns that use the stitch as either the main feature or as an accent to the design. I wanted to share with you the versatility of the stitch and showcase that different ways the granny stitch can be used. 

The granny stitch is most seen in the quintessential granny square. Make one giant granny stitch square for a blanket, or make several small granny stitch squares, put them together for a colorful blanket. 

The granny stitch is also one of those stitches that is taught to beginners who want to crochet beyond just the basic stitches. It’s a fabulous beginner stitch to teach and learn. It’s a forgiving stitch that if you make a mistake, it’s hardly noticeable. 

All the designs in the Granny Inspired Designs Pattern Round Up range from garments to blankets to accessories. Use bold and bright colors to display the granny stitch as the main focus of the design. Use neutral colors to show how elegant, classic and subtle the granny stitch can be. You can’t go wrong with what colors you want when crocheting the granny stitch. It’s a fantastic stitch that stands out on its own.
