Inspired by timeless quilt square motifs, vintage crochet patterns, and quilt squares painted on barns, this crochet granny square shawl is made in two halves. Quilt stars represent a grounded star motif that allows us to grasp and feel celestial magic. The granny stitch feels like a similarly timeless and comforting motif implemented on the second half of the shawl. I was inspired by my palette of naturally dyed yarns which use an array of dyestuffs including cutch, indigo, logwood, and madder.
