15th August is the annual Granny Square Day, hosted by
Simply Crochet Magazine, celebrating all things granny square.

This pattern is my 2024 contribution to this day.

The star of the show in this pattern is the yarn dyed by Lynzi of Hooking Marvellous Yarns. 100% bamboo 4 ply yarn in colourway Pink Rainbow, available from www.hookingmarvellous.co.uk. I paired it with a plain 4 ply cotton to allow the yarn to take centre stage.

My square measured 3”/8cm across and used barely any yarn - my scales couldn’t detect the weight it was so light! My guess would be around 5g of yarn per square in 4ply weight.

Gauge is not important for this pattern. Please use whatever yarn and hook size that you would like to, bearing in mind that this will change the size of your resulting granny square.

I really hope you make this square and get creative with it. I encourage you to play with colour and make something glorious.

I used the pattern to make a scarf, using a join-as-you-go method ultilising drop loops, where I joined each square at set points as I was crocheting round 5.
