The crochet granny stitch is probably one of the first stitch patterns you will learn when starting to crochet, the stitch is normally used for squares, but I have added to my stitch collection the instructions on how to crochet it in rows this way it can be used for many things.
I have used two colors but you can create it in as many colors as you wish.
