Make a statement with this GIANT crochet granny square wall hanging!
If you’re a crocheter, you need to make one of these jumbo crochet granny square wall hangings! It packs such a visual and creative punch in my studio and it’s surprisingly easy to make. Using super-bulky tube yarn and a giant 40mm crochet hook, the humble granny square becomes an art piece!
In the full video tutorial below, I walk you through the entire project step by step: the written pattern for every round, how to connect new yarn balls as you go, weaving in jumbo-sized ends, blocking the square so it hangs flat, and mounting it on a dowel rod. This post has the project details and materials list so you can get your supplies ready before you press play.

MATERIALS (what I recommend in parentheses)
Here’s everything you’ll need to make your own giant granny square wall hanging. I go through all of the materials in detail at 2:14 in the video, including why I recommend each one.
- Tube yarn (Jeogyong tube yarn is my recommendation! Vauras tube yarn also works.)
- Yarn quantities: (I’ve included the specific colors I used in parentheses. From image above- left square color, right square color)
- 40mm crochet hook – note: the 40mm hook is currently sold out, but the 35mm hook works perfectly, just crochet a little looser.
- Dowel rod hangers
- Dowel rods
- Scissors
- Needle and thread
The exact tube yarn I used. It’s the best tube yarn I’ve found and I’ve tried a bunch. It comes in tons of great colors - the colors I used are linked in the list above.
