Crochet Pattern: Marigold Granny Square

Marigold 6" Granny Square, free #crochet pattern by Marie Segares @ucrafterUnless this is your first visit to the blog, you know that I love granny squares. I find them very soothing to make when I’m stressed out, and over the years, I’ve donated my fair share to charity as well as transformed hundreds into blankets.

This post contains affiliate links. The yarn for the sample was generously provided by Lion Brand.

This particular granny was a lot of fun to make, and it used up some scrap yarn I had left over from a bigger project, the Diagonal Rainbows Baby Blanket (also a free crochet pattern).

ILC728x90AugustBannerThe Marigold Granny Square was originally published on Stitch & Unwind. A video tutorial for by YARNutopia is available at the end of the pattern.
