PATTERN INFORMATION From the Great Depression, to the hippie movement and recently on fashion runways, granny squares have always been around! Because of their versatility and customization they can be turned into absolutely anything, from the traditional blanket, to summer tops, skirts, bags, cardigans, vests… Anything! You name it! They are an excellent way to make use of your scrap yarn and experiment with color combinations but they are also easy to carry around with you.
