I LOVE granny squares. I mean really 💖 love 💖 granny squares. If I see a pattern with a chain 260, my crochet heart loses a few stitches. If you look at my project gallery you'll see I make mostly granny stuff.
Why do I love granny squares so much? I don't really have a definate answer to that. Maybe it's my short attention span - 🐿️ squirrel. My artsy fartsy self loves that you can make something the same size and each one be different. Non-crocheters don't notice the differences amoung that squares, but I know and you would know. If you look at the green and orange blanket I made my daughter, each color square is different. I think it just adds some texture and creativity to the blanket.
All that being said, I got the PERFECT Mother's Day Gift this year... The Granny Square Book, Second Edition by Margaret Hubert (Amazon link coming). It has 100 granny squares and 25 projects! What I like the most, it has the written directions and also the graph pattern! I do best with graph patterns, I tend to lose my place with written instructions.
So, thanks to this most awesome book and any other squares I find, I'm going to do a Down Granny Square Laine - A Granny A Day. I'm only going to promise 100, but with my love of granny squares, it will probably be more. I'm going to aim for a year...did I mention the short attention span 🤣 ?
I hope you'll stop in and see the square of the day or follow along on TikTok or Instagram or YouTube or Facebook. If you know of a great square, let me know and I'll add it to the rotation!!!
🧶 Happy Stitching, Stephanie
