The range runs from a full afghan and a long scarf to small makes like a pincushion, a jar cozy, bunting, and a holiday stocking, all worked in cheerful cotton thread. This is Lori's first crochet book, and it carries the same warm, vintage, use-every-color feeling as her quilting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the Book Includes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for the printed pattern book, not a kit or finished projects.

The stitches used are chain, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, triple crochet, and slip stitch. Most projects call for a 3.5mm (E\/4) hook, with a 4.5mm (size 7) hook when working two strands together. They are designed for a number 2 weight cotton thread in the scrappy mix of colors Lori is known for. A yarn needle and small scissors finish the basic kit. A few projects use extras such as covered buttons, felted wool, fiberfill, or a pillow form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrocheters who know the basic stitches and want simple, satisfying projects rather than a beginner primer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone with a stash of cotton thread scraps looking to put leftover colors to work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick, portable makes for gifts, holidays, and craft fairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGranny square fans who want more than a blanket: pillows, bunting, a stocking, and small home accents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You'll Love This Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe granny square is one of the most forgiving things to crochet, and that is the appeal here. One familiar block repeats across every project, so the rhythm becomes second nature after the first few rounds. The variety comes from what the squares turn into, not from learning a new technique for each piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColor does most of the work. Worked in a scrappy mix of cotton thread, the same square reads differently in every project, and leftover bits from one make feed straight into the next. The cotton gives the finished pieces a soft, washable, everyday quality that suits potholders and pillows as much as a scarf or a stocking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a crocheter who already knows the basic stitches, this is a relaxed collection to work through at any pace, with written instructions and partial diagrams side by side so either way of following along works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e It's Sew Emma\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem #:\u003c\/strong\u003e ISE-964\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lori Holt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crochet Pattern Book\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkill Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Confident Beginner (basic crochet stitches assumed; simple projects with easy-to-follow instructions)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crochet, Granny Squares\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Projects:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Yarn:\u003c\/strong\u003e Number 2 weight cotton thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Hooks:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.5mm (E\/4); 4.5mm (size 7) for two strands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Printed Pattern Book\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Expected September 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade in the United States\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"It's Sew Emma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48306686820600,"sku":"ISE-964","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/0196\/8376\/files\/ISE-964.jpg?v=1777668035","url":"https:\/\/smartisans.com\/products\/granny-square-along-crochet-pattern-book-by-lori-holt-for-its-sew-emma","provider":"Smartisans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
