Crocheting granny squares is so much fun!
You can make just one or a few from scrap yarn and use them for coasters. Or, you can make a load of carefully chosen yarn and combine them into beautiful afghans or bedspreads!
You can make them in a range of mismatched colors, a carefully created palette, or in just one color.
The possibilities are endless and I love it 🙂
