Classic Grannie Pattern
CLASSIC GRANNIE PATTERN
Grannie (or granny) means “granny” in English. In crochet, grannies, or granny squares, are very well known as patterns for knitting with different motifs or designs, of a relatively small size, generally square (but we can also find them in other geometric shapes such as round, hexagons...) and of any size.
This type of pattern has acquired the name grannie because they are “grandma’s little squares”. It is very typical, for example, to see blankets made from these little squares knitted by our grandmothers. Although they are still widely used today and have an innumerable variety of possible compositions.
By knitting several grannies and then sewing them together you can make a beautiful blanket, quilt... and much more! The imagination has no limits. You can make a cushion, a jacket, a pair of trousers, a lamp, a bag, a hat, boots... in short, so many possibilities!
