ESTELLA GRANNY SQUARE

​My Great Grandmother, Alice, was an avid crocheter, who produced literally hundreds, if not thousands of brightly coloured Granny Squares in her later years, donating blankets for family members and as prizes in raffles. I can't remember seeing her without a project on the go! So many fond memories wrapped up in little handmade squares!

I am never sure what the true definition of a Granny Square is, but for me, the name makes me think of relatively small crochet blocks, with no more than about ten rounds, that feature groups of treble crochet stitches.  For this motif, which I have named Estella as it features a star shape around the central flower, I have used eight colours of yarn in pretty, floral shades, but it can be made in any combination using yarns from your stash, or a specifically curated one. 

I hope you will enjoy this pattern - click here or or any of the images to download it - and I look forward to seeing your Estella Granny Squares out in the wild soon!
