Can we just take a minute and appreciate the Granny Square! It has to be one of my favourite patterns to make. There are So many different things you can do with a Granny Square. Until recently I didn't realize there were so many different ways to do a Granny. I know there were a fair amount of different styles but I didn't know just how many there really were. Wow did my door blow wide open with possibilities.
This collection of patterns is dedicated to the wonderful Granny Square. Let's give you a little peek into the wonderful world of some of the things you can create. If you've already created any of these I'd love to see it!
Crochet Country Snow Window Afghan Pattern
This Crochet Country Snow Window Afghanis so pretty I love the colours that were used in this pattern, I want to take a single square and use thread yarn to make earrings, I think that would be so lovely. Which I will probably do because I love to torture myself with that insanely thin yarn.
The Crochet Country Snow Window Afghan, appropriately names, is made with Bernat Blanket so you know it's going to feel so soft and lovely. The snowflake framed in the pretty squares It's an intermediate project which I could for sure see the first square being a bit of a struggle but it has the diagram as well as the written to give you a bit of a visual to see what you're doing. As with all Granny's once you have one down pat it's locked in your brain and the rest becomes a whole lot easier.

Remember Granny's Hankit Tank? this Crochet Granny Summer Bag would be the perfect accessory to wip up to go with it. I love the look of it and I really like the closed squares for this bag, some patterns use the traditional Granny Square and although it looks wonderful I worry about losing small things. Let's face it I don't need any help losing anything I do quite well on my own on a good day.
The Granny Summer Bag Pattern is made using Caron Cotton Cakes. I am relatively new to using this yarn and it's fastly becoming one of my favourites to use especially for clothing or bags when I'd like it not to stretch in places it shouldn't and also be durable. It's so soft compared to the cotton used for dishcloths plus the colours are wonderful so that's a bonus.
