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!
