Watch your crocheting skills bloom with this step-by-step guide to crafting a beautiful botanical blanket.
A granny square is a piece of square fabric produced in crochet by working in rounds from the center outward. Granny squares are made separately and then assembled to create a blanket. Since you work on small pieces one at a time, this technique is perfect for those who are new to crocheting.
A crocheting basics section provides techniques, abbreviations, and the instructions needed to make the twelve granny square projects included in this step-by-step booklet.
“An affordably priced booklet with several tutorials, so it would be a great gift for a patient beginner crocheter, or for a crocheter that is a bit rusty and would like a skills review.” —Underground Crafter
