This beautiful X Granny Square can be a foundational block for a wide range of crochet projects: pillowcases, jackets, bags, vests, and more.

You can choose your favorite colors and yarn to make it uniquely yours. I used cotton aran yarn and a 4.5 mm hook, but you can easily adapt the size and texture by selecting a different yarn type. To find the right hook for your yarn, follow the recommendations on the yarn label.

The X Granny Square is quick and enjoyable to make, making it a great project for crocheters of all skill levels.

Crochet skills: to complete this project, you’ll need to know how to make a magic ring, chain, slip stitch, double crochet, and invisible join (optional). If you’re not familiar with any of the skills, no problem! I have videos covering them as well (included in PDF).
