• Rainbow Outlines Granny Square Pattern: Use colors to build a rainbow in each square.
• Easy Flower Granny Square: This square has a flower emerging from the center, a fun variation.
• Summer Bedspread Granny Square Pattern: This is a more airy design than the usual granny square, suitable for a lightweight summer bedspread.
• Easy Baby Afghan Square in single crochet stitch is a great project for a beginner. You can choose colors to match the nursery color scheme.
