The New Granny Square

These are not your granny’s granny squares! They’re young, hip, and sometimes not even square. More than 70 contemporary versions come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and textures, and with fabulous finishing ideas. They’re attractive enough to use as an embellishment on a piece of clothing, as well as in traditional stitched-together projects. Many of the designs appear in different yarn weights and colors, allowing crocheters to personalize any of the items and get exactly the look they’re after. And the wide selection features everything from ponchos and scarves to sweaters and skirts. Easy-to-follow instructions make the projects inviting even for newcomers. A Selection of the Crafters Choice Book Club.
