GENERAL INFORMATION
A Granny square has four corners and four sides, this pattern is called a hex square as it has six sides like a hexagon, which when folded creates an L which forms part of the sleeves, front and back panel. This pattern uses mainly 3 treble stitches which creates a V working into a 2ch gap along the edge twice into and a 3ch gap that creates the corner. A htr and bobble stitch are used for the sleeves.
This pattern uses British terminology, it is important to keep the stitches correct for each row as this may cause misshaping to occur
