Crafters, especially yarn crafters, are always trying to think up projects to use up their stash. My favourite is brooches but this time I decided on cushion covers. In the interest of keeping things kitsch I went with granny squares. Here are two I’ve done so far.
This first one is just one giant granny square, designed to use up left over cotton yarn.
For this one I crocheted lots of smaller squares and then sewed them together.
If you’re interested in doing some basic granny squares yourself this tutorial looks pretty good.

Thanks for posting this, Marian. I was just looking at some unused yarn and looking for something that can be left and picked up again. Will go and look at the tutorial
