Dear crafters,
The traditional granny square does not need any introduction since it is the most common crochet motif of all the crochet shapes possible, besides the circle and the triangle. It would be a rarity if you are someone who is learning how to crochet and has not tried to make a large blanket from traditional granny squares. Despite the fact that crocheting the traditional granny square is one of the easiest techniques in the art of crocheting, blankets made from these squares turn out so beautiful because of the infinite ways of mixing the colors. Take a look at the images below to see how our traditional blankets turned. Most crocheters use leftover yarn from other projects to crochet such a blanket. If you were to use brand new yarn, then you would need quite a lot of skeins! The traditional granny square is not a yarn eater, but it still requires lots of skeins when crocheting a large project! 25 skeins of 150m each were necessary to complete the blue&pink throw shown in the image, whereas the super-coolorful one was made from left over yarn! Oh, and here is another useful tip: traditional granny squares can be joined to form a square blanket or a rectangular blanket.
