I recently made a kid's top with a Granny Square. I received a lot of interest in a tutorial for how I make my granny stitches. I used a smaller hook to make the stitches tighter since it was a top. It was so cute!
So here is the written pattern for how I make my granny squares and I've also included a video tutorial for the visual learners!
Supplies:
Worsted Weight Yarn
6mm Crochet hook or appropriate size for your yarn
Scissors
Abbreviations:
ch - chain
sl st - slip stitch
sp - space
st(s) - stitch(es)
dc - double crochet
Pattern Notes: The ch3 counts as a double crochet stitch. Double Crochet Clusters refers to the 3 double crochet set.
Pattern:
Round 1: Start with a magic ring, ch3, 2dc into the magic ring, *ch1, 3dc into ring, Repeat from * 2 more times. Sl st to the beginning ch3. sl st 2 sts and 1 sl st into ch1 space.
Round 2: ch3, 2dc, ch1, 3dc into the same ch1 sp, *3dc, ch1, 3dc into the next ch1 sp. Repeat from * 2 more times. Sl st to the beginning ch3. sl st 2 sts and 1 sl st into ch1 space.

Round 4: ch3, 2dc, ch1, 3dc into the same ch1 sp, 3dc into each sp between 2 dc clusters across *3dc, ch1, 3dc into the next ch1 sp, 3dc into each sp between 2 dc clusters across. Repeat from * 2 more times. Sl st to the beginning ch3. sl st 2 sts and 1 sl st into ch1 space.
Repeat Round 4 until you are happy with the size of your square!.

Each corner is (3dc, ch1, 3dc).
