Looking for a beginner solid granny square pattern? The Communion Square is an easy to make, solid granny square that is suitable for all levels of skill. Read on to find out more behind the inspiration for the square, and how to make yours.

Communion Square – solid granny square inspiration

The Communion square is named so one of the many meanings I found for the word communion was ‘alliance, agreement friendly association’ and I thought that was fitting as part of the Friendship Squares Cal project – which this square was designed for.

If you haven’t been following along, or find this pattern later, the Friendship Squares Cal is a combined granny square blanket pattern conceived by Helen from Sunflower Cottage Crochet. 25 Designers came together to create 40 9inch granny square patterns with the theme of texture to guide us.

The Communion square is beginner friendly, and doesn’t quite appear to be square when you look at it. It its, but it is definitely rounded and so will require blocking if you want it to appear strictly straight. If you don’t and join it with other squares it should even itself out provided the stitch counts match.

Solid granny square pattern yarn love and info

I used Deramores Studio Aran in Jasmin and Juniper to complete this design. Weighing in at about 55gms this is a great stash buster pattern. Deramores Studio Aran is a super soft anti piling yarn. Available in 23 colours, this yarn is great for blankets, and wearables. To check out other projects made with this yarn see the Marian Bay Cocoon.
