Crocheted Wagon Wheel Granny Square Pattern
For a moment there I thought I might not do any crocheting this winter, but ha ha, that certainly would be a very strange thing around here! And rather than take down boxes from the attic, I figured I’d whip up a few simple crocheted accessories for myself with some yarn I had on hand, which is how this wagon wheel granny square pattern came to be. I love this granny square as it is quick to work up, about 15 minutes for one square, looks great, and of course can be used in so many ways. I always favor circle within a square motifs, and this one that is wagon wheel and starburst at the same time is just simply wonderful. So far I have used this pattern to make a neck warmer and hand warmers, which I’ll be sharing with you shortly, here’s to a cozy winter!
Okay, lets give this granny square a try, shall we?
