Imagine the cozy charm of the classic granny square paired with the playful pop of popcorn stitches. This crochet square pattern combines the best of both worlds, creating a fascinating interplay of texture and movement. The popcorn stitches create delightful raised bumps that practically beg to be touched, while the granny stitch adds a touch of nostalgia and endless possibilities.

I am thrilled to introduce you to the seventh featured square in the Granny Stitch Sampler Blanket CAL hosted by the wonderful Debbie from MadameStitch. If you’ve been following along, you already know that this CAL has been an amazing journey through the world of Granny Stitch, and we’re about to dive headfirst into another fantastic square that will leave you hooked on crochet.

This square is part of a larger collection of 12 squares in the Granny Stitch Sampler Blanket CAL, and together they’ll form a stunning blanket that’s a true labor of love. If you’ve missed any squares so far, don’t worry; you can still catch up. You can see all of the links to each of the free patterns on the official CAL blog post HERE.

But if you’re a true crochet enthusiast and want to make the most of this CAL, consider grabbing the bundle! For just $12.99, you’ll get all 12 squares, assembly instructions, and a border pattern. That’s just a little over a dollar per pattern, and trust me, it’s worth every cent. But, be quick about it because this bundle will disappear like a puff of smoke after October. You can get the bundle HERE (aff).

The CAL has been an incredible exploration of the Granny Stitch so far, and our seventh square is ready to take you on an exciting crochet adventure. It may challenge you a bit, but with each stitch, you’ll grow in skill and confidence. And isn’t that what crochet is all about? Creating cozy comfort, one stitch at a time.

So, grab your hooks, your favorite yarn, and let’s dive into this seventh square with excitement and anticipation. It’s time to create some magic together!
