GRANNY SQUARE Classic Granny Square. The history of crochet granny square blankets can be traced back to the early 19th century, although their exact origin is difficult to pinpoint. The term "granny square" became popular in the 20th century, reflecting the idea that these squares were often associated with older women who enjoyed creating intricate and colorful blankets.
The origins of granny squares are somewhat unclear, with various cultures contributing to the development of this crochet technique. The use of small, geometric shapes in crochet has been noted in different parts of the world, including Europe, Africa, and North America. However, the specific term "granny square" is believed to have originated in Europe. Granny square blankets are traditionally made by crocheting small, square motifs that are then joined together to form a larger piece. The appeal of granny squares lies in their versatility and simplicity. They can be created using various colors, patterns, and stitches, allowing for endless creative possibilities.
Over the years, granny square blankets have evolved from practical and frugal household items to cherished heirlooms and fashionable accessories. They gained popularity in the 1960s and 1970s during the hippie movement when handmade crafts and DIY projects became highly valued. Granny square blankets became a symbol of self-expression and creativity during this era.
