20 granny squares, multiple colour combinations, over 100 stunning geometric patterns!

Unsure how to combine colours, or ready to take your crochet beyond traditional granny square designs? Ultimate Guide to Granny Squares is suitable for crocheters of all skill levels and shows you how to use colour, rotation and repetition to create striking patterns and turn individual squares into beautiful, finished pieces.
