I love how versatile the granny square is, you can make just about anything! Mermaid tails are pretty popular right now, ever since the mermaid tail lapghan came about, and you may have already seen my little mermaid tail gift bags. Actually that’s what inspired me to write this pattern, someone over at Ravelry had made my gift bag in a large format, and thinking “my daughter would love a big bag”, but… I don’t have enough yarn! If anyone looked at my yarn stash, they’d say I was crazy, because my bin is full (over-flowing!) But, it’s ALL scrap yarn, various colors, fibers, textures, etc. Not enough of one yarn to complete a big project. So instead of heading out the yarn store, I decided to try to use some of this stash up, and try to make the bag in granny squares instead, so here it is!
