Product Information

Once you've made them, turn them into simple baby blankets, purses, cosy arm warmers or even stylish boot toppers, as shown by Val.

There are also ten bright and beautiful projects showing you how to use the squares to make unique gifts for friends and family including an animal themed baby blanket; a fruity cushion and a decorative garland. Margaret shows the evolution of the granny square, how it can be used and interpreted in different ways with different yarns, and how today's crocheter can design her own projects using the granny squares of her choice with the yarn choices of today. The best thing about this book is that if you are a fan of granny squares, this book has something for every level of crocheter. The best thing about it is that the instructions are so clear and precise that making up a square from this book is like a 'how to' lesson.I have had many designs published in crochet magazines including 'Simply Crochet' and 'Inside Crochet'. If you are used to using US terms, you will have to convert and should know there are no universal stitch diagram patterns to go with the written patterns. Also included are projects that show you how to make the squares into a simple baby blanket, arm warmers, a purse, a pin cushion, a mug cosy and a stylish pair of boot toppers. The book is a lovely mixture of different patterns and I'd recommend it to anyone who has just started crocheting and wants to learn more. Insert the hook into the first of the five double crochets made, pick up the dropped loop, and draw it through.

All the yarns she's chosen are readily available so you can recreate her projects exactly, or work on your own designs using up any remnants in your knitting box.
