Not Just Blankets

There are so many great uses for granny squares.  You can use them to make sweaters, handbags, scarves, so many things -- not just blankets!  For inspiration, just look through some patterns and booklets that you already have.  Take measurements and trace the project out onto paper.  Then, lay out your granny squares on the paper to form to the pattern, join the squares together, and crochet a trim to fill in the gaps, and voila, a new way to use granny squares!

Not Just Squares

Granny squares need not be square!  There are all sorts of shapes (hexagons, rounds, triangles) and motifs (lace, paisley, flowers) that can be made and put together into wonderful wearable or decorative projects.  Melody Griffith's "201 Crochet Motifs, Blocks, Projects, and Ideas" is a great book with good instructions and project ideas to get you started!
