The willow granny square is a beautiful and versatile motif that can be used to make blankets, bags, and coasters. This version of the pattern contains my modifications from the original willow granny square pattern. It will show you how to crochet the granny square in a single color without having to cut or rejoin the yarn. It also features gorgeous eyelet border which gives it straighter edges, and adds a decorative finish to your project!

This sample uses DK weight mercerized cotton, but you can use any size yarn or hook you like. This pattern contains easy-to-follow instructions with process photos for the more difficult steps. It is suitable for beginners. All you'll need to know are basic crochet stitches.
