Gia Ornament
"How to crochet an easy granny square ornament. They’re lovely worked in a solid color or stripes. Aside from ornaments, they’d also make great gift tags, or string them up to create a fun holiday garland. Now, I have used embroidery floss for my squares, which is 100% cotton, but you can use #10 crochet thread or a fingering weight yarn for similar results. Because you can custom cut the plastic canvas frame or block to the desired measurements, gauge is not essential for this project so feel free to change it up even more. 4 Sizes included that range from 2" - 4", and how to make a hanging loop."
