Granny squares are a crochet classic for a reason. They're colourful, quick and fun to make! But the true potential of these dependable design standbys comes in the infinite possibilities offered by their patterning-and the manner in which they're combined. Swedish crochet innovator Maria Gullberg explores a whole new side to the familiar crochet square, showing how to create fresh, exciting projects by working and joining grannies in clever new ways to form fascinating textures, eye-catching colour effects, and more. Inside, you'll find step-by-step instruction in stitches, from foundation chain to treble crochet; guidance in how to swap colours along the way; tips and techniques for working, finishing, and joining granny squares, and dozens of adaptable, brilliantly patterned designs with dynamic artistic and visual effects.
