These little granny squares look like grannies for dolls! LOL. I found them at attic24 and they are so cute, I just had to share them with you. Lucy of attic24 is well known for her fabulous work and may I say -as a coffee lover, me- for her coffees too, since so much of her work seems to be done while she's enjoying her coffees. These cute granny squares, or Little Squares, how Lucy calls them, would make a fabulous scarf or cushion or bag or even a doll blanket. What's great about these tiny squares is that you can use any leftover yarn to make them and after to stitch them together the result it's still fabulous.

This morning's job was to begin stitching my Little Squares together. Each square is left with a 6 inch tail end of yarn which I'm using for the stitching up. It's quite time consuming, and ever so slightly mind numbing, but weirdly I kind of like it. It's simple, gentle repetitive work which allows me to chatter and ponder freely whilst at the same time being productive.

I think I’ll do this with my scraps
Cute. But it looks like the project from hell!

Is there a working link for this project
Can’t find a link …
Me either 🙁
Where is the link to the pattern?
It was at the bottom of the post. Read it as US people do DC
Chain 4, sl st into 1st chain to form a ring. Chain 3 (counts as 1 tr), 2 tr’s into ring, chain 2, 3 tr’s into ring, chain 2, 3 tr’s into ring, chain 2, 3 tr’s into ring, chain 2, then sl st into 3rd chain of initial ch-3 to close round. Fasten off leaving long tail end for stitching to neighbouring granny!
This is written in UK terms…for those of you in the US, you need to work DC stitches!
Bonny, I added the link in the words Little Squares and at the end of the article. Sorry for the confusion.

DailyCrochet.com Thank you! These look fun to make. Have a nice day!
I look at this and my first thought is “Ugh! All that joining!”
I have started doing this with my left over scraps from various projects, I’m excited to see how it turns out once my little squares are all connected 🙂
Bonny Summers Thank you! Have a nice day yourself! 🙂
Save.
These are sooooo cute, I’m not sure my patience would hold out!
Years ago, when looking for ideas on how to use scrap yarn, I found a similar pattern in US terms) called “yo-yos”.
Have tons of them lol…I make them from scraps and will soon put them all together 🙂
This is cute!
Cute little granny squares but soooooo many ends to weave.
I$#%&!@*granny squares, but I hate having to sew them together. I started just attaching them as I finished it square….much easier.
Cute but really fiddly
Very cute
Would be cute as a border on a granny square Afghan.
Great idea! Which method do you choose to attach with?
Great idea!
Very cute, but too much stitching together for me.
To small and fiddly but they r cute.
Mellissa Davis
OK this is insanity!! i know insane wthen I see it.
That is so cute but like you said time consuming
All those ends to sew. OMG
I’m just thinking of all the ends…
All the ends … and what a nightmare to stitch them all together to make anything!
Lena Jordan here’s one round granny squares.
Does anyone know if this is UK instructions and if a tr is equivalent to US dc?
Mary Conley
This would be lovely but I think having to sew in all those ends would be a task too much!
Teresa Stiles
Kushona Kreations have u felt some headache looking at how tiny they are?
Maria Reynolds
And, right after completing this, they would then put me in a jacket with sleeves that tie behind your back and lead me to a room wth pretty padded wallpaper. God bless anyone with the patience to do this…..you are to be admired and congratulated.
