Gaga for Granny Squares!

Gaga for Granny Squares

GO GAGA FOR GRANNY SQUARES

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. 

And now they’re back!

Granny Square mood board

From Harry Styles’ awkward granny square-inspired cardigan that took TikTok by storm to the “Grandmillennial” trend that took over our 30-somethings living rooms – and now their clothes – the granny square is hip once again!

Need proof? Here, here, here and here are some of those fun, granny square TikTok videos.
