Granny Square Day 2022: Osyth Square
At the last minute I have hooked-up a brand new square for Granny Square day organised by Simply Crochet for 15th August 2022.
I’m publishing the design here, before any testing has taken place, so please send your feedback, and I’ll make a pdf version freely available at all my normal places (Ravelry, Love Crafts and Payhip) in early September. I hope you enjoy making this :)
