Granny Squares


Back when I was a teenager - many yesterdays ago - I crocheted a blanket. I still have that blanket stored somewhere in a box. (I will most certainly go search it out when I've the energy to tackle a closet!)

Looking for a fun portable project, I decided to try my hand at granny squares. After a few practice ones using scrap yarn, I found some cotton yarn in my stash and started making some squares during a recent long flight to and from Seattle. This was a really fun project. I wish I had kept track of which ones I did first so I could check out whether I really improved as I went!

I'm now seriously considering buying some very colorful yarn and attempting a blanket. I think it would be a fun project!

Have you made a granny square blanket? If yes, any tips for me?

Have a wonderful day! Patty

  1. Oh gosh, I'm no help. I never got into crocheted Granny Squares, though I was crocheting at the time those were popular. I guess I didn't care for the fussiness necessary to change colors. Yours look great! And this was surely a wonderful project to take along when you traveled. So are you committing yourself to making a blanket from them?

  2. I need to learn.. I know people who can do that without looking at it.
