This small Batik Flower Granny Square was designed for the 2015 CWU & AC Group Mystery Blanket CAL. The square comes in 2 sizes: 6″ across, or 8″ across when completed, and can be used for other projects as well as in the blanket we are creating in the crochet-a-long.
I have never really been a huge fan of “granny squares” until this past year. The more I saw pretty granny squares ~ not the “traditional granny squares” but I really like how this one turned out.
