Denna Square

For some reason, as I look at the Denna square, I can’t help but to think of traditional windmills. I love it.

Crochet Owl Coaster

This cute owl patten was meant to be an applique, but there is no reason you can’t use it as an animal coaster for small glasses. You can also add a round or two to make in slightly bigger.

Stashaholic’s Brain Dead Afghan

Looking beyond the très amusant name, this is a lovely afghan pattern with a gorgeous, shingled texture. The pattern is designed to use up an existing yarn stash, instead of buying a bunch of new stock. Of course, the reason we would use up the yarn stash is so that we can buy more yarn, which may make the last point a bit self-defeating.

Summer Days Daisy Bag

Although I did mention that it’s Fall, there is no reason not to carry a little summer with you everywhere. Consequently, here is a beautiful, sun-filled bag made of granny squares. You just can’t go wrong with daisies on a blue background.

Granny Square Beret

Let’s start with a classic, a beret with granny square crochet. This beautiful piece is best worn on a jaunty angle to the side or back of the head. This super easy pattern is made in rounds and has a denser border/headband to help retain it on your head. As it’s quite quick, you can make one in numerous colors, matching a whole array of outfits.

Modern Granny Afghan

It’s a granny afghan, but granny’s put on her air pods and has gone to Starbucks for a salt caramel frappucino. This means it’s a modern take on a timeless classic. It uses interwoven blocks instead of squares. As a result, you get a more cohesive and interesting texture without a traditional granny square look.

Likewise, the size is also easily adjustable, and this project can be sized using both yarn weights and rows numbers. It can be a baby blanket, a giant bedspread or anything in between.
