What Is the Granny Rectangle Crochet Stitch?
The Granny Square Crochet Stitch is a cluster stitch consisting of three double crochets together. Traditionally done in rounds of 3-4 to make small squares, the Infinity Granny takes that same principal and just keeps going with added cluster stitches along the length to make a rectangle.
These instructions cover how to make the Granny Rectangle or Infinity Granny Rectangle. This doesn’t include the Granny Square or other variations of this stitch.
