I Heart Granny Squared

I :heart: Granny Squared is an all new take on the original [I Heart Granny][1]. It's another super sweet and super snuggly baby blanket or throw. Its hearty texture is created using post stitches in a similar manner as crochet cables. But unlike the original, this one is worked in the round, instead of rows, and turned out to be much easier, and, I think, even more fun to hook up. **Included with the pattern** Detailed photo diagrams that show stitch placement (not quite step-by-step tutorials) are included to complement the written instructions. Complete crochet charts are included and can be used on their own or as a helpful tool with the written pattern. Video tutorials for the more difficult sections of stitch placement. *Pattern is also available on Etsy.
