Big, small, hats, home decor -- it's no matter, I'm gaga for granny squares! As you can see from this week's patterns, the rest of the Caron team loves them too. The granny stitch itself has a kitschy look to it, but work it in zig-zags (like Delma Myer's Granny Goes Ripple) or squares and in on-trend pop colors (like Randy Cavalier's Hippy Dippy Afghan), and you get a modular and modern look.
Jump on the granny bandwagon and revisit these oldie but goody projects, too.
