Description:

This is open to all group members, so it will be an international swap so please be aware of this.

This will be an ongoing monthly swap, each month using a different color. You can join any, or all of the months, if you join them all, you will have a total of 44 squares, to assemble into a nice sized throw. I have not included December, as this will be the month that you can assemble the squares, so you will have a nice blanket to snuggle in for the winter months, or even a possible gift for Christmas.

You will send TWO 6" basic traditional granny squares to each of your TWO partners. So you will be making a total of 4 squares.

Each granny must be made using the basic traditional granny square pattern which can be found here,

granny square

All squares must be made using a 4-ply worsted weight yarn, such as Red Heart or Vanna's Choice.

You will use one solid color for each square. Since the colors come in all shades you can use whatever shade you choose, as long as it fits the monthly color.
(for example for Feb. the color is pink- you can use light,bright, dusty, neon, etc.)

I have posted each months colors so if you want to work ahead and have squares ready to go you can.

Monthly colors are:

Feb.- pink
March - green
April - yellow
May - whites or cream
June - purple
July - red
Aug.- browns or tan
Sept. - senders choice
Oct.- orange
Nov.- gray

Please finish the squares, do not knot and cut off ends, ALL ENDS MUST BE WOVEN IN!

Please measure your squares! You should have about 5-6 rows depending on how loose or tight you crochet. They should be no bigger or smaller than 1/4 of an inch of 6 inches!

This is a group swap so there shouldn't be any problems, but if for some unforeseen reason something does happen, please let your partners and myself know. Communication is a good thing!

If joining each months swap, the squares from the prevoius month will nedd to be sent before joing the next month.

As always I will angel if needed.

I would love to join but first would like to know something more about the yarn. Would Stylecraft Special DK count as a 4-ply yarn?

I just signed up for the Monthly Grannies - Feb. swap as I just joined this group. I missed the sign up date for the Monthly Grannies - Jan swap.... :-(

Are there two members who want to swap with me for the January swap - blue grannies????

I can set it up as a private swap so we will be rated for it.

please shoot me a message if you will swap 2 blue grannies with me :-)

I think Stylecraft Special DK could be used for the grannies. It's for a 3-4mm crochet hook and I'm working with a 4mm hook now too (but not with Stylecraft Special DK ). It takes 6 rows for a 6" square. I hope that helped :-)
