Full Pattern: Summer Marigold Granny Square

May 6, 2015 by Marie Segares 3 Comments

I’m Marie Segares from Underground Crafter and it’s no secret that I love granny squares.

May and June are filled with graduations and family activities, and I love to bring portable crochet projects along with me. Individual granny squares are great because I can fit all the supplies right in my purse. Today, I’m sharing a granny square pattern that is ideal for using up small bits of yarn left over from other projects. Although my sample uses 3 different colors, you can use as many as 6 for your version!

    I love granny squares because they come in different designs and different colors and you can play with their color and design combination.

    Thanks.
