The Granny Square Book: Timeless Techniques and Fresh Ideas for Crocheting Square by Square

Granny squares are to crochet what pieced squares are to quilting. They originated with pioneer women using up precious scraps of yarn to make blankets for their families, and over the years, many recognized, named patterns have been handed down from one generation to the next. Beyond this treasury of 75 different granny square motifs, Margaret Hubert shows the evolution of the granny square, how it can be used and interpreted in different ways with different yarns, and how today’s crocheter can design her own projects using the granny squares of her choice with the yarn choices of today. Just as Margaret learned from her grandmother and mother and then passed the skill down to her daughter and granddaughter, each generation finds new uses and artistic ways to interpret granny squares.

And here is the knit one. oops. 😉

No need to get fussy with matching the exact yarn recommended in the pattern, though if you’d like to, suggestions are also provided—all you need to do is get your gauge, and go! This 32-page book also packs in several learning opportunities such as: simple colorwork, reading charts, increasing, decreasing, and knitting from the center-out. Alternate yarn options are also provided, which help take the guesswork out and show exactly how each blanket looks made for either a baby boy or girl. If you’re in need of the perfect gift, this book has got the little one in mind “covered.”
