Groovy Grandma is inspired by Monica’s granny square pillows on the iconic television show, Friends (Season 7, Episode 3).

Groovy Grandma is a crocheted pillow cover made up of 50 granny squares with 25 squares on each side which are joined together with the invisible seam method. Using a single row of single crochet, the two pieces are crocheted together. The pillow form is inserted during the row of single crochet for easy finishing.
