Lion Brand® Homespun®

GAUGE:

Square = 8 1/2 in. [21.5 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.

Crochet Granny Square Afghan Reviewed by Donna Diana on 2008-09-23 *****
This was a very easy pattern to follow. I used different colors, Colonial, Boston Rose, Deco and Williamsburg. I gave it as a gift to my God Mother and needless to say, she was thrilled.
