Granny Square CAL Yarn Kit

Granny Square CAL Yarn Kit

Crochet a colorful Granny Square blanket with the Granny Square CAL Yarn Kit from Yarnplaza. The Granny Squares were designed by Haakster from the first three seasons of HaakSTER. Each designer put her own spin on the squares, which come together to form a playful blanket. With this Yarn Kit, you can choose your own colors from the Pink Label Mixed Up collection and create a blanket that’s entirely to your taste.

What are you making?

You’ll crochet a blanket made up of 35 Granny Squares, each measuring approximately 20 x 20 cm. The finished blanket will measure approximately 100 x 140 cm. The Granny Square CAL began on August 17, 2021, and consisted of seven weeks, with five Granny Squares per week.
