Crochet Great Granny Throw
Lion Brand® Jiffy®
GAUGE: Square = 12" x 12" [30.5 x 30.5 cm]. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

through 2 loops. Yo, insert hook into next st and draw up a loop. Yo, draw
through 2 loops, yo, draw through all loops on hook.

| Crochet Great Granny Throw Reviewed by Shelley Daley on 2012-07-20 |

| I am working this afghan as a gift for a new grandma. I'm using Vanna's Choice solids in linen, burgundy, aqua, and dusty purple. It's a great looking, quick and easy granny pattern and I love the color combo!Using an H hook with the Vanna's Choice which is lighter weight than Jiffy. Can't wait to see the final result.
