Granny I Shrank Your Squares

AFGHAN CROCHET PATTERN CROCHET-A-LONG

Howzit all you wonderful peeples,
Thank you for joining me on my lekker new CAL, Granny I Shrank Your Squares.
With 30 different ‘blokkie’ designs to choose from and two border options, you really can get creative with this one. Choose 1 square, 5 squares, or all the squares and make your blanket any size you like. The pattern is totally adaptable.

Making such little ‘blokkies’ also adds the bonus of being the PERFECT scrap buster and a super ‘lekker’ carry around project when you’re going to a braai and you wanna still crochet a bit.

This CAL is also the perfect one to jump in on if you’ve been checking out my patterns and you’re maybe a teensy ‘bangbroek’. It’s gonna take you through most of my favourite stitches and techniques, so by the time you’ve made your ‘blokkies’, you’ll be ready to tackle any one of my patterns.

If you haven’t noticed yet, you’ll also be taking a little stroll with me through some of my favourite South Africanisms, foods, and just words I like, we’re gonna have a ‘jol’!

Love Ness and guest starring Granny2

Currently, only the CAL info document is available to download upon purchase**.

The Prelude will be released and uploaded to your library on Monday 16th June 2025. Please make sure you download a copy and keep it handy for the duration of the CAL.

Each week 4 squares will be released, 2 on a Monday, 2 on a Friday. Check into your library for your download.

The pattern will be released in parts with each new part being uploaded to your library (either Ravelry or the Hooked On Sunshine website library).
The pattern contains 30 different square designs, a join and two border options.
The squares (my tension, DK cotton and 4mm hook), measure 10cm each and the heaviest square uses approximately 12 grams of yarn.

The CAL will be released over 10 Parts, including the join and the border.

Although the pattern is rated intermediate, it really is the perfect pattern for a newbie to learn new stitches and techniques without being overwhelmed by a huge project, and a fabulous way to gain crochet confidence.

If you are a newbie or are looking to hone your crochet skills I would recommend working the written pattern in conjunction with the videos. This will give you a better understanding of techniques, stitches, and how my patterns are written.
Video tutorials can be purchased via the website only.
