After gaining some inspiration, I would like to try making a bag using the granny square technique. Granny squares are very versatile and can be made as big or as small as you want. They can also be used for many different projects. I have seen projects using granny squares to make sweaters, blankets and bags. 

I have found that it is difficult for me to learn without a visual reference therefore I decided it would be helpful to follow a YouTube tutorial.  I found a YouTube tutorial that provides a beginner tutorial for making granny squares and found it easy to follow! Using some scrap yarn, I attempted to make my first granny square!

This is the tutorial I followed.

This was my fisrt attempt at making a granny square! It took me a few tries to get the hang of it and looking at the grey layer, the sides are not straight like they should be but I am happy with how my first attempt came out!
