While these love-it-or-hate-it little squares have most likely been around since the dawn of crochet (Because what else do you do with your scraps?), examples have be found as early as 1891 in publications like Butterick’s The Art of Crochet.
To make your own “Hipper” Granny Crochet Pillow with the Vickie Howell for MAD|TOSH TML, choose 5 colors and get 2 unicorn tails of each five colors. (You’ll need approximately 450 yards.)
TUNE IN FOR MORE GRANNY SQUARES
Don’t forget to tune in on Monday, May 24th at 12pmCT to Vickie’s weekly Facebook Live show, Ask Me Monday. During this episode she’ll continue the granny square love, by showing how to crochet a small project!

Whether you have a collection of lone hank leftovers from projects past or are a gatherer (impulse buyer?) of single skeins from some of the amazing dyers we all admire on Instagram, we as knitters and crocheters are all bound to have 50gr-100gr of a beautiful fiber that's just waiting to become our next favorite project.
In this casual meet-up, Vickie will take you through a tour of a dozen or more (time allowing) different project ideas for those single hanks of yarn. Chunky, worsted, DK, sock, regardless of your yarn-weight jam, this session will inspire you to dive into your stash or even better, to try a hank of something interesting from that indie dyer or spotlighted yarn in your LYS. Oh, and bonus, you'll leave the hour with a coupon code for a free 1-hank project of your choice from YarnYAY.com!
Hope to see you there!...
