Abstract

The article discusses the history and versatility of the granny square, a crochet pattern that has been used for various projects including blankets and placemats. The first pattern for the granny square was discovered in an 1885 edition of Prairie Farmer, and it was inspired by the crazy-quilt square popular during the Victorian era. The term "granny square" was not used until later, with the earliest known use of the term dating back to 1953. The article also provides instructions for creating a mini granny square placemat using a Delft blue color palette. The author, Lily M. Chin, is a renowned author and expert in knitting and crochet.
