Granny Squares Stricken

Jan Eaton is a trained textile designer. After studying textile printing in London, she developed various crochet, knitting, and textile patterns that have been published in numerous English and European magazines. Jan Eaton has published more than a dozen books on the subject of handicrafts.

The Square of the Stitch: Crocheting Granny Squares is a major trend in the handicraft sector. Now there is the first book on knitting these iconic squares! In no time, the approximately 10 x 10 cm squares can be knitted in a variety of patterns and colors, and then imaginatively combined to create colorful blankets and throws, cushion covers, and other decorative ideas. More than 200 squares featuring various cable, lace, and bobble patterns offer plenty of new inspiration even for knitting professionals. The clear step-by-step instructions make the book appealing to beginners as well. The book also covers how to join and properly combine different colors and patterns, as well as adding border decorations and edgings. The author Jan Eaton published the successful book "200 Crochet Ideas for Blankets and Throws: Clever Squares to Combine," which is now in its second edition, with Leopold Stocker Verlag in 2011.
