Granny Square afghan

A Granny Square Afghan is a handcrafted blanket made by joining multiple small, colorful crochet squares called granny squares. Each square is typically created using a simple, repetitive crochet pattern centered around a motif with concentric rings, often in bright, contrasting colors. Once all the squares are finished, they are sewn or crocheted together to form a larger blanket. This method allows for creative variety in colors and patterns and is popular among beginners and experienced crafters alike, resulting in a cozy, visually appealing piece that showcases skill and artistic expression.
