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.

August 20, 2020 at 11:44 amHi Sharon Both the mitered granny square and mitered solid granny square start off a standard square before working along two sides of the square only – you can begin by making a chain circle or a magic circle, whichever you prefer The written instructions for both squares are available on my blog; the instructions for the mitered solid granny square can be found here: https://blog.bellacococrochet.com/mitered-solid-granny-square/
