Have you mastered the Basic Granny Square and Off-Centered Granny Square here on Yarn Tale Collective? Looking for something a little more complicated? This Simple Beginner Granny Pentagon should be perfect for your next project!

What You Will Need:

• 3 different colors of yarn (any type is fine, just note that the final product will look different. I will be using medium weight yarn in White, Pumpkin, Gold and Red all from Caron Simply Soft Collection.)
• Recommended hook size for the yarn being used. (I used an I-9 5.50mm crochet hook)
• Scissors
• Yarn Needle (I use a metal yarn needle, but any one will work)

Abbreviations:

• ch = chain
• ss = slip stitch
• dc = double crochet
• beg = beginning
• sp = space

Instructions:

Final pentagon granny should be around 5″-6″ when finished depending on hook and weight of yarn used.

Using your first color (I’m using White), Ch 5 and join with a ss to form a ring.
