There are many types of granny squares. All granny squares start with a certain amount of chain stitches (usually 4-7) joined to the first chain stitch to make a circle. Basic granny squares consist of one type of stitch usually, with little variation in the pattern. More elaborate granny squares require careful analyzing and more time.
