Gothic Granny Squares

Granny squares don't need to be all prim and proper in pastel colours.

I thought I'd give them a sinister twist for my recent creation, a Tarot reading cloth.

This was a really enjoyable crochet project; so easy to complete whilst watching TV.

Traditional Bohemian (i.e. Eastern European) designs have inspired me to come up with this colour scheme.

Now that it's finished, it would also make a lovely baby blanket for the Addams Family. What do you think?

Yarn: Sirdar Click DK; colours: Black Sheep 138, Fern 132, Blueberry 137. Available online here.

If you would like instructions for the granny square, please check out this page.

  3. I like it :) For your next one, consider a silk yarn for the sheen ? I loves me a bit of glitter :}

  4. Hello Vivianne, must admit I wanted to stick to an inexpensive yarn, as I had no idea how this would turn out ;-)It was my first ever blanket/table cloth with granny squares. Would love to use some lovely silky yarn next. Can you recommend any? If yes, please add a link. Thanks ;-)
