Granny's 4 Square Pillow
"Are you even a crocheter if you’ve never made a Granny Square? (Yes, I do think you are, but I thought it an interesting question to pose). There is even a whole DAY devoted to the Granny Square. Yes. You read that correctly. Granny Square Day is on August 15th every year. So get ready to see so many more Granny Squares pop in in your news feeds and Instagram feeds and all over the place! That is why I come up with the Granny’s 4-Square Pillow crochet pattern. This pattern features 4 granny squares per panel of the pillow, and more granny stitches throughout. What do you think? Would you make one of these pillows? Or perhaps give it to another crazy crochet lady in your community?"
