Make over 35 fabulous projects, from quick and easy scarves to mug cosies. The granny square is the starting point for many people when they first learn to crochet, but as their skills progress, this versatile crochet block is often forgotten. In Granny Square Crochet, crochet teacher Catherine Hirst presents 35 projects which show how this traditional square can be updated and used in many different ways. The first chapter has over a dozen projects for the home, ranging from a blue-and-white mug cosy which can be made in less than an hour, to a stunning bed cover. There are cushions and seat covers to brighten up your living room, plus place mats, drinks coasters and a runner for your table. The second chapter has some great accessories, including gloves, scarves and bags, and even a dog coat to keep your favourite hound warm in winter. The third chapter has a great range of patterns to make as gifts for children and babies, such as crib and pram blankets, bibs, hats and toys. Each project is graded according to the level of skill required, and there is a comprehensive basic techniques chapter explaining all you need to know.

I am so pleased I purchased this book. I saw a pattern from it in a recent magazine and thought it worth the risk of buying the whole book, I am pleased I did! It has some beautiful patterns that are all relatively easy to make. Best of all for me, it shows a very detailed way of joining these granny squares as they are made! I have wanted to know how to do this for years!
Thank you for a great book!

I treated myself to this book because I had bought a magazine with the pattern for the wrap (on the front cover) inside it. I made the wrap and its beautiful, I am now working my way through the book making lots of other lovely things which I intend to put away for a charity fundraising sale. Would recommend treating yourself to this lovely book.
