The Ultimate Granny Squares Sourcebook: 100 Contemporary Motifs to Mix and Match is a unique granny square collection that combines the styles of 23 creative designers from all over the world and I’m honored to be one of those designers. This book offers a wide range of traditional and modern granny square patterns that can be used to create cozy blankets, comfortable cushions, stylish garments, and more.

I’m happy to announce that this book has been translated from English into multiple languages, such as Korean, German, Italian, and French which means that crocheters worldwide can now enjoy it. And there’s more good news to come! Our publisher is working hard to bring the book to even more languages so everyone can crochet and enjoy these contemporary motifs.

With clear instructions and graphs for each square in the book, this guide offers endless possibilities for crocheters of all levels. All motifs are the same size and stitch count, so they can easily be combined to create stunning designs. Whether you prefer vibrant or subtle colors, you’ll find captivating combinations that will inspire your creativity and allow you to explore the endless possibilities of granny square crochet.

Landyn Tahj Square

Landyn Tahj is the sixth square in a series designed as a legacy for my grandchildren. Landyn has a wicked sense of humor, is highly spirited and does not hesitate to voice his opinion. He has lots of sharp edges but the biggest heart you will ever know. Oh, and he LOVES basketball!

Be sure to check out other squares in the series in previous posts and on Love Crafts, Ravelry, Ribblr and Creative Fabrica.

Madux James Square

Madux James is the fifth in a series of squares designed as a legacy for my grandchildren. Madux is thoughtful, sensitive and incredibly sweet with an intellect that results in so many questions about the world around him.

The Madux James pattern is available on Love Crafts, Ravelry, Ribblr and Creative Fabrica.

Marley Mae Square

The Marley Mae square is the third square in a series that I am designing as a legacy for my grandchildren. Marley loves the ocean and volleyball; she’s analytical, has a wicked cynical sense of humor and sings like a bird. She’s a complicated girl that requires a bit more complicated square design.

These squares can be used as blanket squares, a center piece for a blanket, a pillow or tote. This is an intermediate pattern that can be found on Love Crafts, Ravelry, Ribblr and Creative Fabrica.

Testers Needed

My plan to create a series of crochet squares and name each square after each grandchild requires reliable, experienced testers. These square’s will be released separately as a free pattern on Ravelry and this blog.

I need testers for the final stage of testing for Marley Mae. If you or someone you know is available, please reply to my email at phaener@gmx.com.

The square is out for testing and will be release soon.

Lauren Rose and Macey Ann squares are also available on my other posts.

Macey Ann Square

The Macey Ann square is the second in a series of squares named after my grandchildren. My intention is to design a square for each of them, that demonstrates each of their personalities.

This square named after Macey Ann represents her unique creativity and her love of everything pretty and sparkly.

All of these squares are designed to be used as blanket squares, a center piece for a blanket, a pillow or tote. Macey Ann is one of three designs featured in The Ultimate Granny Squares Sourcebook: 100 Contemporary Motifs to Mix and Match.

This intermediate pattern can be found on Love Crafts, Ravelry, Ribblr and Creative Fabrica.
