Frequently Asked Questions
What is an infinity granny square?
An infinity granny square is a continuous crochet pattern that starts from the center and grows outward indefinitely. Unlike traditional granny squares that are made individually and joined together, infinity squares create seamless projects of any size without seaming or joining multiple pieces.
How do I prevent my infinity granny square from twisting?
The key to preventing twisting is to turn your work after each round. This reversible technique ensures your square stays flat and doesn't develop a spiral effect. Always slip stitch to join each round, then turn before starting the next round.
What yarn weight is best for infinity granny squares?
Worsted weight (medium #4) yarn is most commonly used and provides excellent stitch definition. For baby blankets, DK or light worsted creates a soft, airy fabric. For thicker, warmer projects, try bulky or chunky yarn with a correspondingly larger hook.
Can I change colors in an infinity granny square?
Absolutely! Color changes add visual interest to your project. Most crocheters change colors every 2-4 rounds. To change colors, complete your last slip stitch with the new color, then turn and continue. This technique creates beautiful striped effects.
How do I know when my infinity granny square is big enough?
Measure your project regularly as you work. For baby blankets, aim for 30"x30". Lap blankets typically measure 36"x48", and throws are usually 50"x60". Remember to account for border additions if your pattern includes one.
