Rectangle Granny

Description

There is nothing quite as comforting or timeless as the traditional granny stitch, and this lovely Rectangle Granny pattern is just as easy and relaxing as the classic square! If you are a beginner who knows how to make a basic chain and double crochet, you can absolutely make this project with ease. We start with a simple foundation row, and then we magically transition to working all the way around it in rows and rounds. It is a wonderfully satisfying, repetitive pattern that grows quickly before your eyes, making it the perfect stress-free project to unwind with after a long day.

These charming 9-inch by 3-inch rectangles are incredibly versatile and practical for everyday use. They make the most wonderful, eye-catching bookmarks for the bookworm in your life,  a lovely little mug rug to protect your favorite tabletops or keep adding rounds for a beautiful table runner. Because they work up so quickly, they will become your absolute favorite go-to project for quick handmade gifts. Tuck one inside a book or pair a couple of them with a beautiful mug for a thoughtful birthday, teacher appreciation, or housewarming surprise that will make anyone feel special!
