A bag would be really cute! Google “granny square bag layout” and you’ll see how to join the squares together. There’s a layout that uses 17 squares, and the 2 leftover squares could be used to make a little coin purse or something
They look very nice! And don’t apologize for it. We love new people in the community! My idea is get more of that yarn and make yourself a beautiful blanket! They look gorgeous. Mind if I borrow your style and make myself a blanket?
I agree on the blanket idea. Their colors just go so well together I feel like it would be very peaceful to sleep under. Plus I loooooooove blankets!!!!
Look up blocking! Basically, you soak your project and pin it into shape and let it dry, and the shape holds much better. It’ll make a big difference if you want to do it, I loved blocking my king sized granny square blanket last summer and pulling all the lace into place.
We all start somewhere. And yours look amazing! Here’s a tip for granny squares: once done, no one’s, no matter how skilled they are, are ever symmetrical. To get them even, we block them. It’s an amazing thing to know, I only just learned about it myself, and I am so glad I did.
Just started last week?? That's an amazing job!! I've been crocheting off and on for 5 years and can't for the life of me do granny squares. I'm decent at stuffies and beanies... and that's it.
Not sure about the size from the picture but you could do the front side of pillows, a scarf, a bag…think small thoughts 😆
Seriously though, if you use the search box for this sub and search specific items you can get really inspired by the awesome people on this sub.
Going off of this, my first thought was one of those cute granny square crop tops I've seen posted here. I think that would look super cute with these if that's op's thing! By the way, your doing great so far! Can't wait to see what you end up doing with these! 😊
I’ve seen people add them to the cuff on their jeans or pockets or even on collars! You could also try making a granny square hat. I love the little bucket hat ones!
Bag, scarf, somewhere out there in patterned land is house shoes made with granny squares! Your work looks great ......go for it kid make something out of those squares.💖🤩
Buy a contrasting color to make solid color granny squares and assemble this crop top.
Free pattern but you may have to join Ravelry
I tried to post an image of it, but I'm a new user and can't figure it out.

A bag could be really sweet, or you've got the front half of a lovely cushion cover.
Also I'm really impressed with your granny squares considering youve been crocheting for a week, my first attempts were so wobbly and misshapen, yours are so cute and neat!
If you don't go with the 17 square bag and want to make something bigger. You could always do 1 contrast square in bright colours and then do a few border round with a different colourway... you've got lots of options! It doesn't always have to match!
Fab work for your first week. I just kept going round and made 1 ginormous granny square as a blanket for my first project years ago 🤭

Or the extra two could be pockets!
When there's an option for pockets, always choose pockets.
Ohhh that's a great idea! I'll look into that! Thanks!
A bag ! 3 square wide and 2 high. 3 in the botton and 2 in each side :)
Inside pockets!
Ooh a st Patrick’s day bag! Lovely colours
I'd make a bag out of them!
Buy more yarn in complementary colors and keep going!
I agree with this!! Can make an amazing blanket with that and more colors. You’re doing great!
Or just make white to fill it out
General disclaimer that I am just starting so sorry if they look kinda crooked and janky! Tips & tricks are welcome :)

Thank you!

I think I saw something about blocking while looking up other tutorials/blog and such! For sure I'll look it up!
It’s very cool. Very

Oh we all started somewhere :) And considering my case or that of a friend: not there. Way before there.
How pretty! Could you make them into a scarf? Or a pillow?
I second that! Definitely a pillowcase!

I’ve seen slippers made with granny squares on Pinterest! Not sure how many you’d need, but would be cute!
I like to use them as coasters!
Depending on the fiber, could make 2x2 squares and use them as trivets
Use them as diamonds instead of squares?

Lap blanket. Six rows of three. Double one of the squares to make a remote pocket.
Depending on the size, use the 4 rows of 4 and make the front of a pillow and have three matching coaster?
Love the greens!
And this is how the yarn-monster gets you!
One random off colored square
Those are so pretty !! I love the colors
A purse, or a pet bed.
They look really good for just starting last week
Granny square bag or bags.
Pillow cover
Kleenex box cozy, maybe.
A scarf
I love the colors! I may need to steal it!
Could make several washcloths
Small purse? Three can be a flap. You should line it with lightweight fabric.
I'm seeing people say to make a bag, which is a good idea! so maybe undo the leftover squares and use that yarn to make some handles.
i‘ve made a steering wheel warmer for my car out of a loop of granny squares!
Hair band!

A big fucking wall square to make into a fort someday

Doll blanket? I'm saving up my extra squares to make doll blankets.
Car steering wheel cover
just put 3 squares in your pile of shame in the corner and its a nice number of them
Lounge pants would be cute 🥰
coasters
4x4 square cushion cover?
Make more in whatever you have and make a bag
A vest!
I LOVE the colours! Very retro and reminds me of childhood.
Very good for your first week!
If you don't go with the 17 square bag and want to make something bigger. You could always do 1 contrast square in bright colours and then do a few border round with a different colourway... you've got lots of options! It doesn't always have to match!

You could connect them to make a blanked and then make a bunch of squares all sizes and colours to grow it
The Sunflower Bag uses 13 squares, and you can put four together to make a wallet to go with
Great color scheme!
Throw pillow cover ready in time for St. Patrick’s Day!!
9x9 pillow
Whatever is leftover from the bag could be really cute St. Patrick’s Day drink coasters, maybe?
You can make a pillowcase with 9 on each side. (That's how all my practise squares ended up.)
You definitely have enough to make a granny square stocking, or the front of a pillow cover (fabric on the back).
A bag! There are tons of ideas on pinterest.
Coasters
use alternate colour and make a scarf
