If you adore my Mitered Granny Square then I think you’ll love the Mitered Solid Granny Square. Just look at how closing those gaps creates an even more beautiful abstract feel. I love playing with perspective, and doing it in a wonderfully squishy, soft, solid fabric is just a dream. This cosy little square is the ideal addition to your crochet blanket.
