This is NOT a Normal Granny Square!

In this tutorial we will be learning an alternative to a traditional granny square using Half Double Crochet stitches. The stitch pattern used to create this square has two different names - Half Granny Stitch and Mini Granny Stitch (tutorial here:    • Learn this EASY crochet stitch for blanket...  ). This square can be used instead of granny squares in many projects such as cardigans, blankets, bags, cushions and more.
