Mitred Granny Square Blanket |
Crocheters, meet Karen Wiederhold, the mastermind behind the ever-popular Mitred Granny Square pattern (also known as the Optical Illusion Square by some of her fans!). Today, we're diving into the story and inspiration behind this ingenious design.
Back in 2013, Karen was on a mission to create the perfect blanket for her teenage son. She envisioned a design that paid homage to the classic granny square but with a modern twist that would resonate with his style. Another key factor? A project she could comfortably work on while spending quality time watching TV together.
Through some creative exploration and experimentation, Karen's vision came to life – the Mitred Granny Square was born! The finished blanket boasts a stunning shading effect, almost like an optical illusion, adding a unique touch to the traditional granny square motif.
Calling all yarn enthusiasts with a hook in hand! If you're searching for your next project, Karen's Mitred Granny Square blanket might be the perfect match. follow the full pattern and instructions
