Granny Squares

Friday

30Mar2007

You can make granny squares big, small, tight, loose, from a single color or many colors. The only guidelines are to find a beautiful, natural yarn you'll really want to cuddle, and have a fun time inventing each unique square.

How do you go about connecting all the squares once you have finished them? I love the photo above and am trying to achieve that same gradient color scheme and different sizes. But any advice you could give about actually creating the blanket would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Your photo really showcases the differences between yarns. Could you tell us which yarns are in your main picture?
