HG ~ Monthly Crocheted Granny Squares, Month #1

This will be a monthly series of crocheted granny square swaps. Your will be making 4 crocheted granny squares per month for your one partner but you will have one month to complete it so that should be plenty of time.

At the end of the year you will have 48 crocheted granny squares. Due to cost I am making it USA only. At the end of the year (actually 13 months since I will be skipping December due to the holidays) you will have enough crocheted granny squares to make a nice sized afghan. If you want it bigger, you can always add more crocheted granny squares. I always add a border to my afghans as well. The final month will be due on 4/15/18. I would have started in January, but I had surgery that month and I needed time to recover.

Requirements:

1. All crocheted granny squares should measure 7 inches. Measure your crocheted granny squares so that they are as close to 7” as possible. Try to use a pattern that makes a 7” crocheted granny square. If they are too large or too small that will mess up your final product. If your crocheted granny square is coming out too large, try a smaller hook and if it is coming out to small, try a larger hook. It is best to measure as you are working on your crocheted granny square. Add or deduct row(s) at the end, if necessary. PATTERNS AND COLORS ARE SENDER'S CHOICE.

2. All crocheted granny squares should be made with worsted weight yarn, as we want our afghans all to be compatible, so the thickness will all be the same.

3. Use at least two colors for each crocheted granny square. You can use more than two colors, but you must use at least two colors. You can use solids or multicolored yarns, your choice. Since it is your choice on colors and patterns you can start on the crocheted granny squares right away. Multicolored yarn counts as one color.
