Gingham evokes memories of a picnic lunch out on the lawn with a red and white checkered cloth. Or, a pretty summer dress. This version of gingham employs colors that mimic the look of checked gingham. Three-round solid granny squares in three colors are sewn together with an invisible seam, and a simple single crochet border completes the look. What a cuddly warm addition to the nursery!

Made with Stylecraft’s “Special DK”, the resulting fabric has a beautiful drape and lightweight feel. The premium 100% acrylic is easy care, making it the perfect yarn for baby blankets. And, it comes in 89+ colors, so you’re sure to find something that tickles your fancy.
