Top 5 Granny Square Looks for Granny Square Day 2023
It’s no surprise to anyone who knows me that I just adore granny squares, so I wanted to show my love of them for Granny Square Day 2023! As I was looking back through all of my designs, I was surprised by how many I actually did. There were some that I had forgotten about, and my love for granny squares grew even stronger. There were so many cute granny square patterns I experimented with, sunburst granny square patterns and granny flower square patterns were two of my favorites.
What I love most of all is all the different ways I’ve used them. I’ve made tops, bottoms, dresses, and accessories, and I’m sure I’ll have even more ideas as time goes on. These are some of my very favorites Granny Square looks I’ve made so far.
Drawstring Granny Square Pants
I just love these drawstring granny square crochet pants! What most impressed me was that this was recreated from a previous design and it vastly improved. There are granny square patterns all throughout and the gray color makes a great base for the vibrant colors to stand out.
Granny Square Dress
This granny square V-neck shift dress was also a redesign made completely out of granny squares. The patterns really pop, and the style of the dress makes it feel modern with a classic twist. I added a white belt for a sleeker silhouette and it makes the color stand out even more.
Granny Square Vest
This granny square vest is one of my favorite go-to items. When I need to give an outfit a little more effort, I throw this on and I'm good to go! This was made from six leftover squares and the creme backdrop gives the look a pleasing softness. This vest goes so well when I want to rock a vintage look.
Granny Square Throwover
This is one of my most creative looks I've made, and it happened by accident. I attempted to make a granny square bag, but partway through another idea came to me and I decided to make a throwover instead. The granny squares form an "X" across the upper body and it has an experimental bohemian vibe.
Granny Square Sunflower Dress
This isn't only one of my favorite granny square looks, it's one of my favorite Dream Duos Clothing designs. I cut a sunflower graphic tee and crocheted sunflower squares, then sewed them together to make this. The theme is very strong and they just work so well together. Plus, Sunflowers are my absolute favorite and I truly love elements of nature on clothing, so this was a delight for me to make.
