Ever wanted to know how Grandma made the family afghan? Join us to learn how to make a granny square, the basic building block for multiple projects.

The granny square is a versatile building block for many crochet projects. With the granny square, you can create a blanket or afghan, design a bag, make a house shoe, and more.

Join us for an evening of knitting or crocheting and chatting. Feel free to bring your project to work on or use one of the available patterns. All skill levels from never touched a hook to expert are welcome. An instructor is available to assist everyone.

Supplies for the Granny Square: a crochet hook and your favorite yarn.
