Intro And Square 1

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I am so excited about this 
Year's Crochet Along!

What is the Grantastic 2019 Crochet Along?

The Crochet A long will begin January 21st

See The Video On my Youtube Crochet

 Channel At This LINK

I will release the Crochet Pattern and Video 

for each Square on the same day, 

usually the last Monday of each month.

All Updates Will also be at This Blog Page LINK

Each month I will release a 6 inch Granny Square.

You will make 4 of each square each month,

 for a total of  48 Squares.

We will then make them into a Blanket.

6 squares X 8 squares = 36 X 48 inch blanket,

plus a trim.

You can make as many additional Squares as you

 would like, to a the Blanket Bigger.

And you can arrange your squares any way you like.

For the video demonstrations I will be making all

 my squares all in the same  color.
