Join avid crocheter Portia in this Granny Square Crochet workshop and learn the basics of crochet by making your first Granny Squares!
Granny squares got their name as this used to be how ‘Granny” made a quick and simple crocheted blanket. In more recent times, creatives, including Portia have reshaped and modernised the items that can be made the squares. Realising through clever design that contemporary items can be made easily using different colour combinations in the granny squares. Don’t forget to check out our pinterest board for inspiration.
