Colorful Granny Chain

Since Granny Square day has passed and we are keeping with the granny square theme for the month of August, I decided to make something that I have been wanting to make for months but never found the right time or reason to make it! Although this project is not made from a traditional Granny square, it is still in the Granny category. This project is made with Granny Rectangles!

Here we go a skein, fresh off the hook:

                                     Colorful Granny Chain

These granny rectangles are quick and easy to make since they are done with basic crochet stitches, making them great for crocheters of all skill levels. Granny rectangles are great stash busters and you can mix and match colors to make them unique! And putting them together in a chain, goes quickly!

This Colorful Granny Chain is fashioned after the paper chains many of us made as children, but this grown-up version is made with yarn! These colorful chains make great decorations for parties or to add a splash of color around the house. Just think about how they would look done in holiday colors around the tree or on the mantel.

I hung my Granny Chain on the tree in my backyard and like how it adds color to the yard! These would work great for a yarn bombing project!

Mini Granny Scarf

Happy Granny Square Day! Did you submit your granny square for the worlds largest virtual blanket? If not and you would like to participate in biggest virtual crochet blanket in the world, go to Granny Square Day 2025 for information. If you missed it, there is always next year!

To celebrate Granny Square Day, I created this cute little lightweight cotton scarf using mini granny squares. This scarf is great for adding a splash of color to any outfit!

Here we go a skein fresh off the hook:

                                       Mini Granny Scarf

The mini granny scarf is quick and easy to make. It has 35 mini granny squares that are two inches across and a cute little edging. This pattern is great for crocheters of all skill levels and can be customized to your style.

I love that you can customize the Mini Granny Scarf, with not only color but length and width. You can make it longer by adding more granny squares or shorter by using less granny squares. You can make a wider scarf by making the granny squares larger or making it two rows wide. And of course the colors are up to you! This scarf would look good in gray, white and black or red, white and blue!

So grab your hook and crochet a few mini granny squares on Granny Square Day! 

Have a hooky day! Lynne
