There’s just something magical about the granny stitch, isn’t there? ✨
It’s one of the most iconic stitches in crochet — comforting, nostalgic, and endlessly versatile. Whether you’re creating colourful blankets, stylish garments, or quick stash-busting accessories, granny stitch patterns always deliver on texture, rhythm, and charm.
It’s granny square month this month, and whilst I don’t have a lot of granny square patterns, I do have quite a collection of crochet patterns featuring the granny stitch!
In this post, I’ve gathered a gorgeous collection of granny stitch crochet patterns that show just how stylish, fun and flexible this stitch can be. You might even see a granny square or two as well!

What is the Granny Stitch?
The granny stitch is a classic crochet stitch pattern made up of clusters of three US double crochet stitches, usually separated by chain spaces.
It creates a beautiful open textured fabric, which works so well in blankets, garments, home decor and pretty much any crochet pattern you can think of.
You’ll see the granny stitch used in granny squares, but it can also be worked in rows, in the round, or even as waves, triangles, and more!
