All-New Twenty to Make: Animal Granny Squares

Description

The time has come for a fresh, fun take on the classic granny square. Featuring 20 popular animals (including dogs, cats, bears, sheep, pigs, lions, turtles, ladybirds, sloths and more), this book has a 3D animal to suit every taste! Use different stitches to create textured elements such as fluffy manes, shaggy fur and frilly tentacles, and crochet three-dimensional elements such as ears, eyes, horns, beaks and wings to bring the animals to life! Once you've made your favourites or the whole menagerie, turn your tactile squares into a gorgeous blanket, the instructions for which are included at the end of the book.

Nicely presented, easy to follow patterns and the book is a useful size for taking with you traveling, so you can crochet along the way! I've used cotton so far although I'm switching to acrylic for the rest for softness. -- Lyn Lewis * Amazon Customer Review * Cute, easy to make designs! Nice range of designs, the instructions were very clear and simple to follow. I've only completed the bee so far but will continue to make more. -- Maggie Goodsell * Amazon Customer Review * Putting a fresh twist on the classic granny square, Sarah-Jane Hicks has created 20 fun animal-themed designs, each including a textured 3D element such as shaggy fur, frilly tentacles, or horns, beaks and wings.
