Granny Squares Basics with Andee (in person)

Granny Squares are a classic crochet motif that has been used since the mid-1800’s to make blankets and other projects. The squares are worked in the round with 4 corners and are great for using up bits of yarn left from other projects. 

In this class with Andee you will learn how to crochet the classic granny square as well as modifications to the granny square pattern for more drape in your project.  We will cover 2 methods of joining a new color at the beginning of a round including standing stitches, invisible joins for the last round of a square, easy ways to weave in all those tails and working multiple rounds in one color.
