Mixing and Matching Ideas

One of the best things about granny squares is how easy they are to combine. You can:

Use one pattern for a clean, uniform look

  • Mix a few different designs for something more creative
  • Alternate simple and detailed squares
  • Stick to one colour palette to tie everything together

Choosing the Right Squares for Your Project

  • If you're not sure where to start, think about what you're making.
  • For blankets, a mix of simple and textured squares works well
  • For bags, solid or tightly stitched squares hold their shape better
  • For decorative pieces, floral and textured squares stand out more
