How many granny squares do you need to make a bag?
The number of granny squares you’ll need will depend on the shape of bag you want to create. For a standard granny square tote bag that measures 13.5″ x 13.5″, you’ll need 18 squares that measure 4.5″ each. Squares that size work up super quickly – then they just need to me joined before adding a handle.
How to join granny squares for a bag?
There are many ways to join granny squares, the easiest is to use a single crochet (UK double crochet) join. For a more textured way to join your squares, the ZigZag join is one of my favourite way to join granny squares together.
