Continue like this until your square is as large as you would like it to be. My squares are 8 inch x 8 inch or 20cm x 20cm
If you have made 4 granny squares you need to join them together sewing, crocheted, join as you go, anyway is fine. I crocheted mine together with a single crochet for a tighter join
