The basic granny square involves double crochets and chain spaces arranged in groups to form a square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Basic Granny Square Pattern:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Start with a slip knot and chain (ch) 4. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to form a ring.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Round 1<\/strong>: Ch 3 (counts as first double crochet), 2 dc into the ring, ch 2. <em>(3 dc into ring, ch 2)<\/em> repeat 3 more times. Join with sl st to top of beginning ch-3.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Round 2<\/strong>: Sl st into next two dc and into ch-2 space. Ch 3, 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc into same space. <em>(3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in next ch-2 space<\/em>, repeat 3 more times. Join.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Round 3<\/strong> (and beyond): Continue the pattern by placing 3 dc in each space between groups, and (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in each corner ch-2 space.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Repeat rounds until each square measures about <strong>4\u20135 inches (10\u201313 cm)<\/strong> across, depending on your desired slipper size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.khflix.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Thumbnails-7-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.khflix.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Thumbnails-7-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.khflix.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Thumbnails-7-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.khflix.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Thumbnails-7-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.khflix.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Thumbnails-7.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Make the Granny Squares<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll need <strong>6 granny squares per slipper<\/strong>, so <strong>12 squares total<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Layout for Each Slipper:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>1 for the sole<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2 for the sides<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1 for the toe<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1 for the heel<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1 for the top flap (optional for a cozier design)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can mix and match colors or keep them uniform depending on your style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.khflix.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/maxres1-8-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.khflix.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/maxres1-8-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.khflix.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/maxres1-8-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.khflix.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/maxres1-8-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.khflix.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/maxres1-8.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Block the Squares (Optional)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Blocking your granny squares helps them lie flat and uniform in size, making assembly easier.
