Granny Squares: Totally Trendy

Dear users, dear authors,
Do you like Granny Squares? Then you can stock up on new patterns here. Have fun!

@Authors,
no quantity limit. Don’t forget links, images, info, etc.

There are many types of granny squares. They are lots of small, colorful pieces that you join together at the end to make one special whole. They are colorful and just plain fun: first while crocheting, then in the finished piece. I like them too, so I’ve brought a few ideas to life. Since I fell in love with the hexagon shape, all the designs are based on it. I hope you enjoy looking at them and making them yourself. For more pictures, information, and the pattern, just click on the headings.

Warm regards from Ina

Children’s Blanket "African Flowers"

We crochet lots of hexagons and half hexagons—all beautifully colorful in our favorite colors. These are then crocheted together in rows. Then add a decorative border all around, and an individual, colorful children’s blanket is finished.





Heart Pillow

We crochet lots of hexagons, half hexagons, and quarter hexagons. These are all crocheted together according to a specific layout. The back is solid-colored. The pillow is stuffed with synthetic stuffing so that it keeps its heart shape securely and is also fully machine washable.





Santa Boot

We crochet lots of hexagons in our favorite colors. These are then crocheted together into a boot according to a specific layout. Then crochet a boot cuff, a hanger, and a small bow as decoration. And your individual Santa boot is ready to fill and give as a gift, or just to use as decoration for yourself.





Pillow Cover "African Flowers"

We crochet lots of hexagons, which we then join to make a pillow cover. The pillow cover has a closure, so it can be removed and washed.

Very versatile. They can be used to create figures, animals, etc.

Your bunny is so cute. You’ve created some really pretty decorations using this technique. I like it

Exactly—I’ve been wanting to try these African flower granny squares to make animals out of them, too. I have the patterns and templates, but I just haven’t found the time yet. It’s really interesting.

Schildi is so cute

Best regards, Inge

For the Nadja crochet shirt, you crochet squares together; for the Wisława stole, it’s stars and flowers. You can find both patterns in my store Blickfang-Design.

The smaller figures are perfect for beginners. The advantage is that you create the individual pieces first and then assemble them. 

In my shop, you’ll find 8 different granny squares that all match in size. This gives you plenty of options for designing a blanket. 





The patterns include a crochet chart and a written round-by-round description



Here I’ve put together a collection of my granny squares for you. 

Beautiful things can also be created from knitted Granny Squares. Since the grannies are knitted together as you go here, there’s no annoying sewing together at the end.
Here’s an example from my shop! You can knit them from all kinds of leftover yarn!

Crochet Pattern for a Balloon Cover

You’ll crochet individual granny squares, which are then assembled into a ball with an opening. This way, the balloon is safely tucked away inside the cover. 



This cover is crocheted entirely from small granny squares. It’s perfect for a small mobile phone or a pack of tissues.
