Crocheting granny squares is so much fun!
You can make just one or a few from scrap yarn and use them for coasters. Or, you can make a load of carefully chosen yarn and combine them into beautiful afghans or bedspreads!
You can make them in a range of mismatched colors, a carefully created palette, or in just one color.
The possibilities are endless and I love it 🙂
Want some ideas on what to make with your granny squares? Take a look at this post where I have gathered a bunch of crochet granny square projects from different designers.
