Description
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 recognised, named patterns have been handed down from one generation to the next.
Beyond this treasury of 75 different granny square motifs, Margaret Hubert shows how the granny square 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 selection 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.
The Granny Square Book, Second Edition is more than just a pattern collection; it is an inspiration for crocheters to explore their creativity with this timeless motif.
