Wildflower Grannies - CAL Instructions

Description

The Wildflowers Grannies – CAL started life as a “put down your phone” challenge, issued by a friend. Her challenge was to make little crochet squares, I decided to make them flowers. I have been making these little flower squares in between other things for quite some time now. They are a great “on the go” project, perfect for TV crochet, chatting on the phone, waiting in queues …

There are eight different flower squares and two different background squares. Make all of them or only the ones you like. How many you need will depend on what you decide to make.

The Wildflower Grannies are great stash busters, they need very little yarn for each section. You can use any weight yarn but use the same weight for the centres and the squares, to keep them all an equal size.

Wildflower Grannies Kits are available or you may prefer to choose your own Pure Cotton DK colours.
