Great Things to do with Grannies

       Make an Afghan



         Making a blanket is one of the most obvious 
         things to do with granny squares, but also 
         the option with the most variations.  I 
         have listed some of my favorites below.
          1.  Use the same square pattern iwth a 
              variety of yarn colors.

          2.  Use the same yarn colors on a variety 
              of square patterns.

          3.  Make a flower garden afghan by making 
              a vareity of squares that look like 
              flowers.

          4.  Make a christmas afghan by using red, 
              green and white yarn in squares designed 
              as snowflakes. 

 
       Make a pillow cover

         By using eight 6-inch granny squares you can 
         create a beautiful cover for a 12-inch pillow 
         form that you can get for just a few dollars 
         at almost any craft store.

       Make a bookmark

         Crochet a 3 to 5 small granny squares using 
         breadspread weight thread and join in a row 
         for a pretty page marker.


       Make a tote bag

         The number of granny squares you will need 
         will depend on the size of the square you 
         are using and the size of the bag you want 
         to make.  Just make the two sides, join 
         together three of the edges and add handles.


       Make a scarf

         If you join eight or nine 6-inch granny 
         squares in a row it makes a wonderful scarf.
