Free Crochet Pattern for Granny Squares


The 'Next Steps' Crochet course held at Three Bags Full Wool Shop,
The Piece Hall, Halifax was a great success. 
Karen arrived with the most beautiful crochet blanket throw. A project she'd worked on after attending the beginners crochet workshop in June.
Squeals of delight at the stunning choice of colours and superb quality of work.

We covered crochet in the round and Granny Squares, with conversation and laughter as some of us recalled the trend for crochet in the '1960's. 
I still have a pattern for a '1960's crochet bikini !!! 
 By the way........... 
'If you don't remember the 60's, you weren't there!'

For those who couldn't make the crochet workshop, 
here's a free copy of the crochet pattern for a Granny Square. 
I might re-publish the crochet bikini pattern sometime early next year in time for next summer!!!
