Hi Julie,
We’ve actually renamed that project as it wasn’t a granny square after all, but a blanket! You can find it here: http://www.allfreecrochetafghanpatterns.com/Popular-Afghan-Projects/Sophies-Garden-Crochet-Blanket
Thanks for reading!
This afghan can be crocheted without the pom poms and it will still stand out because the ridges give it a classy appeal. This can be produced in the color of yarn you want. The pom poms can be made in contrasting color with the afghan or it could be the same as the afghan itself. Thanks for the pattern and the diagram.
