Simply lay out the cards to easily mix, match and create your own design combinations.
• Also within is a 32-page booklet, which contains a comprehensive step-by-step guide to reading and understanding crochet charts, with five side-by-side examples of pattern and chart instructions to get you started. You’ll also find advice on choosing yarns and hooks, two different methods for joining your squares together, and guidance on colour placement and arrangement so that you can achieve colour success every time.
• The perfect tool to help you mix and match granny square designs for any handmade project, select a few cards or slip the whole deck into your bag for on-the-go crochet. Each square is made using the same hook and yarn weight and is the same finished size, so that the squares can be joined together in any combination with ease.
