How to crochet a simple lacy round granny square – easy and beautiful pattern!


 

Here’s a clear, step‑by‑step breakdown of the video demonstrating how to crochet a lacy round granny square:

🧶 1. Gather Supplies & Prep

  • You need yarn (medium-weight recommended) and an appropriately sized hook.

  • Start with a slip knot, then chain 4 and join into a ring using a slip stitch.

2. Round 1 – Forming the Center Shells

  1. Chain 3 (counts as your first double crochet).

  2. Into the ring: 3 double crochet (dc), then chain 1.

  3. Repeat: 4 shells total (each shell = 3 dc + ch 1).

  4. Finish by joining into the top of the starting chain-3 with a slip stitch.

3. Round 2 – Building the Lace Pattern

  1. Chain 3 to start (counts as dc).

  2. In the same space, work 2 more dc (forming a new shell).

  3. Chain 1 between edge shells, but chain 2 at the corners to shape the square.

  4. Continue shell–ch spacing around.

  5. Slip stitch to join at the end.

4. Subsequent Rounds – Expanding the Square

  • Each round repeats the shell + corner structure:

    • Shells in each chain‑space

    • Chain 1 between shells on edges

    • Chain 2 at corners

  • Repeat until the square reaches your desired size.




5. Finishing Off

  • Once complete, cut yarn leaving a tail.

  • Pull the tail through the last stitch to secure.

  • Use a yarn needle to weave in ends on the backside.

6. Tips & Customization

  • Add as many rounds as you like for size customization.

  • For sharper corners or neater appearance, consider using a smaller hook or blocking your square 

  • Experiment with colors each round for visual interest.

Why It's Lacy & Lovely

The method uses alternating shell clusters and chain‑spaces, creating a delicate, open-work (“lacy”) effect while maintaining a clean square shape.
