I :heart: Granny Squared is an all new take on the original I Heart Granny. It’s another super sweet and super snuggly baby blanket or throw. Its hearty texture is created using post stitches in a similar manner as crochet cables. But unlike the original, this one is worked in the round, instead of rows, and turned out to be much easier, and, I think, even more fun to hook up.

Included with the pattern

Detailed photo diagrams that show stitch placement (not quite step-by-step tutorials) are included to complement the written instructions.

Complete crochet charts are included and can be used on their own or as a helpful tool with the written pattern.

Video tutorials for the more difficult sections of stitch placement.
