The humble granny square has had quite the glow-up, and Granny Square Chic proves it’s more stylish than ever. This WeCrochet collection is a fresh take on one of crochet’s most beloved motifs, showing just how versatile and modern a simple square can become when stitched with creativity.
Inside, you’ll find 12 contemporary crochet patterns that elevate granny squares far beyond blankets. Think bold garments, playful accessories, and chic home décor pieces that make a statement without losing that touch of nostalgia we all love. Each design uses the granny square as a building block but takes it in unexpected directions—fashionable tops, colorful bags, and cozy wraps that feel trendy yet timeless.
The book is thoughtfully laid out with step-by-step instructions, charts, and clear photography. Even if you’re still relatively new to crochet, the projects are approachable, while more seasoned crocheters will appreciate the design twists and opportunities to experiment with color.
