  1. I like how it looks when you put different size squares together in one large block. It really makes this pattern POP. Thanks for the freebie!

    1. Hi Gracie, where are you? Amazon seems to be the most popular supplier, but Smiths on line and quite a few book stoes do it, if you go to the publishers site GMC Publications they will be able to tell you the nearest book shop if you live in the UK.
      Hope that helps?

  5. I love to try making this Granny Square pattern. I am still a beginner.
    I find that Crocheting Videos helps me understand the pattern better.
    Will you be making any videos of your patterns?
