🧶 31 Days of Squares: Day 4 – Modified Granny Square

Day 4 is here, and I’ve officially entered the "I’m not planning these squares ahead but I’m doing it anyway" phase of the challenge. Today’s pick is the Modified Granny Square from the same pattern book I used yesterday.

Let’s just say… we had words. I rewrote half of it with a pen before I could make it work. Buckle up, fiber friends. This one’s a bit of a ride.

📚 Pattern Review: Modified Granny Square

This pattern comes from Crochet Patterns & Projects, page 9. While the idea behind it isn’t bad, the actual instructions? Yikes.

I had to rewrite major portions to add missing stitches and swapped the starting chains for chainless standing double crochets. Otherwise, the square just wouldn’t work up cleanly. If you’re a beginner, I do not recommend this book unless you love decoding mysterious hieroglyphics made of yarn.

The result is… a bit of a weird granny square. But it’s finished, and that’s what counts today. 😄

🧵 Materials Used

• Pattern Source: Crochet Patterns & Projects – page 9
• Hook: 5 mm (H-8)
• Yarn: Caron One Pound in white (aka: my workhorse yarn)

✂️ Don’t Forget the Ends!

By now you know the drill. Before you move on to your next square, double check those ends and make sure everything’s woven in nice and tidy. Your future blanket will thank you!
