Here is the pattern that I use to make granny squares:
Chain 6. Slip stitch into the first chain. Chain 3 and make two double crochets into the center ring. Chain 3. Make 3 double crochets into the center ring. Chain 3 and make 3 double crochets into center ring. Chain 3 and make 3 double crochets into the center ring.
You should have four clusters of three stitches.
You can change colors here, or you can slip stitch into a corner of your granny.
Chain 3 and make 2 double crochets into the corner whole. Chain 3 and make 3 double crochets into the same corner.
Chain 1. Make 3 double crochets into the next corner whole, chain 3, and make 3 double crochets into the same whole. Chain 1, and start working into the next corner. Work the same way in every corner until you get back to the begining of the round.
You can change colors, or slip stitch to a corner.
Starting in a corner, Chain three, and make 2 double crochets into the corner. Chain 3 and make 3 double crochets into the same whole. Chain 1 and make 3 double crochets into the side whole. Chain one and work make 3 double crochets in the corner whole. Chain 3 and make three double crochets into the same whole. Chain 1 and make 3 double crochets into the side whole. Chain 1 and work into the corner. Continue working until you are at the end of the round. Slip stitch and end off, or you can keep going to make it bigger.
Hopefully you all can understand this! I am not very good at writing out patterns....let me know if you try it!

Oh thank you Autumn! It worked just splendidly! My rounds seem to be ending in the middle between the corners though. Is that okay, or am I doing something wrong?

Joy,
glad you are liking it! Yes, the round ends in the middle. If you are using the same color, just slip stitch your way into the corner so that you can start your next round. If you are using a different color, you can end it here, and start a new color in the corner.
If you have any more questions, just let me know!
Okay, thank you so much for posting this little tutorial! It makes complete sense now, and I've been trying to figure it out from a book for months.
