How to Block Granny Squares

Blocking is the process of shaping and setting crochet pieces, like granny squares, after you finish making them. It helps to even out stitches, remove creases, and give your squares a polished look. When you block your granny squares, they will lay flat and look more uniform.

To block your granny squares with a blocking board, start by gently washing your squares to remove any dirt or oils. If you do not want to wash the squares first, you can lightly spray the squares with water instead.

Lay each square flat on the blocking board. Use rust-proof pins to secure the corners and all sides. Pull the edges to create straight lines. Make sure to pin all four corners.

Then allow the squares to dry completely before removing the pins. This will give your granny squares a crisp and polished look, perfect for your projects. It also makes them easier to work with.
