Granny Square Crochet Patterns
Did you know that it’s (unofficially) International Granny Square Day on August 15th? It is on Instagram anyway, where this tradition began 4 years ago! Do you celebrate?
We crafters certainly have some influence now don’t we? With the arise of social media!
I for one am very happy to observe this day, because I love me a granny square! The repetition of crocheting blanket squares, promotes mindfulness, which has been proven to lower our stress levels and relax us! Crocheting is great for self-care. Truly! And I make sure I tell my husband that too, if he ever suggests I might want to be doing something else… fool 😆 Haha!
I actually have designed a funny granny square sticker AND a t-shirt, that are available in my Etsy Shop! If you scroll all the way down to the bottom of this post, I’ve added some photos so that you can see them. They make fun gifts for our crocheting friends.
