Day 29. Granny square crochet motif.

Granny square.

I thought its time for granny square motif. They are always popular in making afghans, baby blankets etc. I followed a diagram, that I have linked in the title. If my description is unclear, you can always return to the link above and check stitches in the diagram.
Combining few colours makes the pattern very petty and colourful and fun.

I used double knit yarn, to make my squares chunkier.

Patons Baby fab yarn, doubled up
