What is your favorite Granny Square pattern & why?

[tiniree]

I am intrigued by granny squares right now. I am in the process of looking for a more "closed" granny pattern and while searching (and "no" I haven't found one yet ) I started wondering what everyone's favorite pattern was and why?

I found one that has a turtle in the middle. I love turtles, so that's my favorite!

My fav is the Carousel Square by Priscilla Hewitt It is more closed and has fp dc stitches radiating out from the center. It can be done in one or 2 colors and is stunning.

2nd would be any type of spider stitch square.

3rd is the butterfly square by Chris Simon

and 4th is the Victorian Dream Square I found on Crochet Pattern Central

 

I really have many favs for different reasons, speed, type of yarn, etc..., but for looks I go for these 4.

I just like the old-fashioned one that my actual grannies used to make!

Here's the Never-ending Granny Square link. Very easy and looks great.

One of my favorites is Priscilla Hewitt's "Circle of Friends", it makes up really pretty. I have used it to make dishcloths also. http://priscillascrochet.net/free%20patterns/Afghan%20Squares.pdf

The Granny a la Harper is my all time favourite granny. It is so adaptable and works up very quickly for the charity events.

 

I can make enough of these in any colour combos that I can think to try to complete a lapghan in a weekend. Love it.

 

Guess it is now time to see if I can manage that continuous join for this. it should be do-able

The Thoroughly Modern Granny is my favorite go to square and scrap afghan to make as well. It's fun, different and using lots of little bits of yarn.

My fav is the snowflake square.

I also like the basic granny & never ending granny among others. The Carousel square by priscilla hewitt is one I've made a few of too & it is so pretty. I made a pr of potholders but I'd also like to make a ghan out of it someday.

I like all kinds of squares. 6-8 inches are best. I've even designed some myself. The traditional granny is the easiest and most versatile to make.

I love most of Priscilla Hewitt's squares, particularly the ones already mentioned.

This square is similar to the never-ending square but it has x-stitches across the rows, which gives it a bit more dimension. Right now I'm beginning to wish I'd never seen this square though. I'm finishing making 195 of them for an afghan quilt for my DS & DIL's first anniversary-then I get to put it all together. I may wait a while before I make this square again.
