#74 Granny Square
This is #74 Granny Square in Leisure Arts Book "99 Granny Squares". I made it for knit-a-square.com which is why I used the colors. They are based in Africa so we were challenged to use those shades of color related to Africa.
If you ever have spare time to help orphaned children in Africa please visit the site at the link above.
To download the instructions from HERE. It's available immediately.
This pattern is written out 2 ways.
One will be with the repeats and the one after it
has one written out without the repeats. I remember doing
a granny square for the first time and the repeats can be really
confusing even though the Granny is easy to do.
