The Great Granny Crochet Book has

everything you need to know to

become a great granny-maker!

Included are both innovative and

traditional designs, plus "Granny s

Recipe" to show you just how to

make a motif; large, clear diagrams;

and instructions for joining squares,

making pompons and tassels, and a

variety of edgings.

The granny square crochet technique

is one of the few needlework skills

developed in the United States. The

quick and easy to make square

originally served to use up leftover

odds and ends of yarn.

Today, the granny motif--now made

in many geometric shapes in addition

to the square--is used to create a

wide variety of colorful projects.

Among those in this book are our

new "picture afghans"--cleverly

constructed pictorial designs fitted

together rather like a picture puzzle

from many small squares.

Here s a sampling of some of the

projects inside, all of which are easy

enough ever~ for the beginning
