The Granny Square Kit

Start crocheting your own colorful granny squares with this all-in-one kit-includes a project book, a hook, a needle, and two colors of yarn.

Granny squares are to crochet what pieced squares are to quilting. Originating with pioneer women using up precious scraps of yarn to make blankets for their families, granny square patterns have been handed down from one generation to the next-and now's your chance to take part in a little bit of that history.

The Granny Square Kit offers crocheters of all skill levels more to love about granny squares. Author and designer Margaret Hubert shows you the amazing versatility and variety of this portable and convenient technique of crocheting square by square.

Kit includes:
32-page project book
Yarn (2 colors)
Crochet hook
Plastic needle
With the fully illustrated project book, you'll learn:
Crochet basics like the single and double crochet and general techniques like slip knots, chain rings, and whipstitch seams
Stitch instructions, with symbol diagrams or finished photos, for 12 unique squares such as the Classic Granny, the Dogwood Flower, the Butterfly Garden, and Sophia's Star
Guidance and ideas for designing your own granny square projects

Just as Margaret learned from her grandmother and mother and then passed the skill down to her daughter and granddaughter, you will find new uses and artistic ways to interpret granny squares. This kit has everything you need to crochet granny squares and create beautiful projects with hooks and yarns.
