Hi everyone! It's an every year contribution I've been doing, to come up with a granny square that has the face of the current year's Chinese zodiac animal. So far I've made the chicken, the dog, the rat, and now the ox. And I've also enjoyed making other animal granny squares, such as the cat and the frog, and have a few in the making (a rabbit and other animals) that I'm going to post in the future. The only hard part for me when designing these granny squares is to show as many face traits as possible, while keeping the square easy to make. I think I've nailed it this time. So enjoy making this cute ox as a granny square unit for a baby blanket perhaps, plus, you can totally change the colors to make it look like a cow. Stay safe and healthy, and happy (belated) Chinese new year!

Hello everyone! Wow, how time flies by! 2022 is here, and January is almost over. So it must be time to add a new granny square to my collection. It's the year of the tiger this time around, and let me tell you, it was a real challenge for me to make this one. I spent so many days researching both real, and crocheted tigers trying to come up with a good design. What I found more intriguing and charming was the white tiger rather than the orange one; they are quite majestic looking, their cubs are super cute, and to be honest with you, their color scheme can be interpreted somehow easier than the more known orange tigers. I hope I've caught your interest with this year's zodiac granny square of mine. Wish you all happy and warm days!

What could be better than the combination of flowers and squares? Nothing, we think, because these Easy Peasy Flower Squares are simply amazing. Join these pretty crochet flower squares together to make a crochet blanket or even a cute crochet shawl. This idea is revolutionary because you don't have to do just a flower motif or just a granny square afghan, you can make them all in one. We love learning and we hope you do too because this tutorial will be your next favorite thing.

"Hi everyone! I think it's obvious by now how much I love crocheting animal-themed granny squares, as It has become something of a tradition for me to make one inspired by the Chinese zodiac every year. I have also made other animals before, and will keep on designing as many of these as I can. I will try to keep them as simple and minimal as possible, and I will maintain the same measurements, so that -if wanted- they can be used together in one bigger project, like a blanket, for example."

"The Woodland Owl Granny Square is a part of the Woodland Afghan Series by Maria's Blue Crayon. It is comprised of 10 Woodland themed squares joined together with solid granny squares to complete an afghan. The Woodland Owl Granny Square is a great addition to the Woodland Afghan, but may also be used alone for an Owl themed blanket. Safety eyes are used for this pattern, but can easily be substituted with a french knot for the eyes."
