Animal granny Square Collection: Chicken - Puppy - Tiger - Koala - Bunny - Chick - Ox - Mouse - Monkey - Turkey - Piggy - Kitty - Duckling - Frog - Dragon

Hello everyone! Frankly, I think I am obsessed with animal themed granny squares. Every time I browse the Internet and catch a picture of an animal, the first thing that comes to my mind is: can I make a granny square with its cute face on it? A koala’s face is easily recognized by its big oval nose, large ears, and small eyes. The challenge for me this time was to keep the big ears within my granny square base, which I succeeded at after numerous trials. I hope you all like it and get to make it for your next project.
