Huey Lewis was right, it IS hip to be square. Granny squares are back in a big way, and our friends at Willow Hill Yarn Company are all about the excitement in the air for this old-is-new craft.

Just what is a granny square, anyway? It's... 

  1. A bite-sized crochet project.
  2. A craft that can be completed fairly quickly.
  3. A project you can do on the go. Waiting for that oil change? Pull out your yarn and crochet hook! Sitting in the carpool line, waiting for that school bell to ring? It’s go time!  
  4. An awesome place to start if you’re just learning to crochet.
  5. A versatile style that can be taken in many amazing directions.
