Why Crochet Granny Squares?

Granny squares are a staple in the crochet world for a reason. They are incredibly versatile, can be used in a variety of projects, and are perfect for both warm and cold climates. You can make a cozy blanket or a stylish bag. The best part? They require a small amount of yarn, making them an economical choice for practice and projects.

Materials You’ll Need:
