It's International Granny Square Day!
Did you know that August 15 is International Granny Square Day? Well it is! And I'm so EXCITED (if you can't tell)!
On this day, we celebrate our beloved classic. The day came about in 2014, when crochet enthusiast Susan Regalia used Instagram’s image grid to create a gorgeous classic granny square patchwork online. The celebration is now a favourite of crocheters everywhere.
Throughout the years, granny squares have charmed new generations of crocheters. And in all transparence, it has irked a lot of our colleagues as well. No one is indifferent to granny squares.
I am SQUARELY Team Granny. See what I did there?
So I've pulled together 7 links to my crochet patterns in which the granny square or the granny stitch are featured.
