Granny squares are a bit like Marmite – some people love them and some do not. I definitely love them because they’re so easy and fun to crochet. As with everything, it’s all about getting the colours right. And of course, that’s completely personal. Different colour combinations can create very different moods and tell very different stories.

While I adore the idea of a granny square blanket (and there are so many different ways to use these little squares), I also wanted to do something a bit different. I love taking something traditional and giving it a new feel, so this scarf is my take on the classic granny square.

Enjoy!
