A whimsical world full of yarn, curated just for you.
We love nothing more than a good, classic granny square! Since these are a pattern staple in a crocheter's arsenal, we knew we had to bring you one of our favorites. Allow me to introduce...
The Puff Stitch Granny Square
A simple granny square with contrasting border and puff stitch corners evoke a timeless look with modern techniques. Worked up in lightweight yarn creates a delicate look and a light, textured blanket when assembled.
