For Granny Square Day 2022 (August 15th) I’ve created three granny designs using yarn from La Bien Aimee, mYak and Handmaiden yarn dyed for River City Yarn in their Adam and Eve base. Feel free to use yarn from stash as each granny pattern will use about 4g of yarn. You may want to change hook sizes as needed, to work up a fabric to your liking. Hope you enjoy the patterns. If you post your crocheted granny on Instagram, I would love to see your work. Use the hashtag #knitfrogrepeatdesigns and I’ll find you there. :hearts:

mYak’s Granny Square and LBA’s Granny Hexie are published separately. Please see each pattern to download the pattern. There’s a plain text pdf of all three patterns in one document if you prefer to work from a plain version of the pattern.

Each granny progresses in level of difficulty. The Granny Round (intermediate-beginner level) uses one colour and would be great for makers already familiar with basic crochet sts. The Granny Hexie (experienced-beginner level) requires a good understanding of sts and involves mixing different yarn weights and bases, requiring some familiarity with different yarn weights and how they will work up if substituting yarns. The Granny Square (intermediate level) includes fpdc and bpdc sts and involves a mix of different yarn weights. Having some familiarity (and willingness to experiment and try) different weights will be useful for the Granny Square as well.
