Here Are Some Ideas for Granny Square Patterns
Should You block your granny squares before joining?
The question of whether to block granny squares before joining is a common dilemma for many crocheters.
While blocking can certainly improve the overall look and uniformity of your project, whether it’s necessary depends on several factors. Firstly, if your granny squares are relatively consistent in size and shape, blocking may not be essential.
However, if you notice significant variations or distortions among your squares, blocking can help to even them out ensure a more polished finish, and make the texture pop out beautifully. Additionally, blocking can make the joining process smoother by aligning the edges more precisely.
