Granny Square Wreath
"This is my second contribution for this year's Christmas season. It is a granny square prototype that can be used by itself as a coaster (with the plastic ring), or you can crochet many (without the plastic ring) and assemble to make a doily, a blanket, or any other Christmas themed home decoration. It is a little bit different than the wreath ornament I've made in the previous post, though they have the same concept. I hope you like it. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
