The Bursting Corners Granny Square

August 7, 2014 By Corina 2 Comments

Bursting Corners - Free crochet square pattern

I had an idea in my head for a new way (for me) to make the corners of a square a little extra fun. This granny square measures four inches. I used medium weight yarn and a 4.25 mm crochet hook. You really can use any yarn or hook of your choice.. the only change it  should have- is that it may come out a different size. This square is solid and would be great for purses!

Stitches used
Magic Circle
SC – Single Crochet
CH – Chain

My Color choices
Color A – I used purple
Color B – I used yellow
Color C – I used blue

Let's get started!!

    The cleanprint option on the site printed out 9 extra pages of all the links at the side. And of course I didn’t notice until too late.
