This variation on the ever-popular granny square features a circular centre motif. Made up in bright colours, this cushion cover has a fiesta feel and would look equally at home in a camper van or caravan, or in your living room. We’ve added a vibrant green fabric backing to make the yarn shades really sing.

2 Hot water bottle cosy

If you’re looking for a practical gift idea that still has the homemade touch, try this hot water bottle cover. The kitsch granny square design is a great stepping stone project for anyone intrigued about making a patchwork blanket in the future. Seize the chance to master the basics of making and joining squares and adding an edging – you’ll be delighted by the results.

3 Circular purse

Turn these addictive granny hexagons into a blanket or cushion cover or keep it bijou with a purse, set of coasters or something else ingenious – it’s up to you!

5 Mini cushion

The front of this cushion features four mini granny squares sewn together while the back is made up of one large panel. Both these techniques are great to add to your crafty arsenal. Adapt the large square into a massive blanket with yarn from your stash by simply repeating the fourth round as many times as you like.

6 Brilliant bolero

This colourful creation is great for intermediate crocheters who want to practise an array of stitches. The shrug is made from five large granny squares which are sewn together and finished off with a border along the bottom edge.

7 Summer headband

This project will teach you how to join granny squares as you work. It is a vital skill to learn if the thought of sewing everything together at the end leaves you cold. It also gives you a really neat and strong finish. The bright watermelon and mint shades give this project a cool, contemporary look that is perfect for summer.

  2. Hi Rhondda,
    The link to the circular purse does not work.
    I have tried and tried and can’t find the purse.
    Can you help, I’d love to make the purse.
