Granny Square Extravaganza!



Expand your novice crochet skills with Granny Squares! We will start with a basic Granny square (ch and double crochet stitches only) and try 3-4 different patterns that might include crocheting in joined rows, working a mitered square, puff and cluster stitches, working into back loops only and stitches 2 rows below.
