Granny squares are always a good idea, and the only thing better is using them to make a bag!

“Abuelita” is a cute way of saying “granny” in Spanish, so it’s the perfect name for this adorable bag. Its versatile size means that it makes a great accessory for children and an eye-catching carry-all for adults, too, perfect for toting around your daily essentials and staying on-trend whilst you do it! Try using up scraps and playing with unusual colour combinations to create a truly unique bag you’ll love wearing again and again, no matter the season.
