The Granny Square Book

“Crocheters looking to move beyond basic granny squares, as well as new crocheters drawn to these traditional motifs, will enjoy this collection.” —Library Journal

With twenty-five brand new squares and twenty-five all-new projects!

Since it was first published in 2011, The Granny Square Book has instructed and inspired more than 70,000 crocheters to make and create beautiful, stylish projects with these classic motifs. Now designer and author Margaret Hubert has updated her bestselling and beloved book to include twenty-five additional crochet squares (for a total of 100!) and twenty-five all-new projects to make, wear, and give.

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. Among the designs are accessories (headbands, bags, and jewelry); garments (vests, jackets, and tops); and decorative items and gifts (afghans, pillows, and a sweater set for baby). The Granny Square Book, Second Edition, offers crocheters at all skill levels more and more to love about this timeless motif.

“Delightful . . . If you like to crochet granny squares but are looking to go ‘beyond the blanket,’ this might be the book for you!” —Underground Crafter
