Hey Everyone! Today I wanted to share with you the traditional one color granny square tutorial with you! This method is slightly different than the type of granny square that changes colors and when I asked my Facebook live audience if it would be helpful, the answer was a major… yes!
Granny squares are one of the most iconic and popular projects in the crochet world. My favorite thing about granny squares is that since you make 1 at a time, they can be very fun and satisfying. I also love that you can use some modern colors or cool yarn to make this nostalgic and familiar design modern.

June 2, 2017 at 4:16 pmI think that twice a month is great as well. Also, do you know the brand and color names of the mint and also the pink self striping color yarn that you used for the granny squares?? I like how they both turned out. They look great.
Thanks!
