The Granny Square Card Deck™: 50 mix and match designs (The Granny Square Card Deck™ Collection)

I have always avoided Granny Squares, finding them small, fiddly and confusing. This card deck has turned me into a Granny Square Hater to a Granny Square Lover. The cards are really easy to follow, a high quality photo of a Square on one side and the instructions shown as a crochet chart on the back. I had never used a chart before, but I found it really easy to use once I got used to it. It is really helpful to see a picture showing which stitch below your new stitch should be going into or skipping. I can't always visualise how things should look when reading written instructions, this makes it much clearer. I really like how the complexity progresses through the cards. The cards start simple and increase in difficulty. 1 card introduces a new technique that can be used in a Square, and the next few show you different ways to use it. Then a few cards later it gives you a new thing to learn and a few new ways to use it. I have found my stitches havr got neater and I am better at weaving in ends. I have seen a massive improvement in how my stitches looks in the few weeks I have worked on the deck. It has taken me from beginner to advanced beginner . I am excited to take away my new skills and try them on other projects

Love this book. I have completed a large number of patterns to to make a blanket the stitches are written in American terms but it is easy to google the UK alternative and keep a note of them It has also taught me how to read crochet patterns The squares are a good gauge for the size if the completed square which is useful in making sure they are all the same size

Just started to use and fabulous designs

Just starting off in crochet and these have been perfect to improve my technique and grow confidence. Clear easy instructions. Would be a great idea for an alternative advent calendar for a crafty person. I'm using my practice squares to make a sensory baby book and have already ordered yarn to make my first top using granny squares. Can't wait! Lost one star just because there are a few of very similar designs that are still useful but do feel a bit like filler cards to make up numbers

A lovely compact box of granny square patterns. The instructions and photo of finished square are clear. The little booklet that comes in the box is helpful with stitches. Its something you could take anywhere just pop in a bag with scraps of wool and a crochet hook. A good holiday project.

These are great fun for the crochet fan. One should note that the patterns are on the back in chart form so if you are unfamiliar to charts it may throw you off. The charts are very easy to follow and full Comprehensive instructions are included.

I do like the item it was a good buy.

My granddaughter who is a beginner is very happy with these and the quality is good too.

I love using these, especially for inspo. Once you get the hang of one of the designs, it’s easy to adapt it to your preferences. Instructions are super clear and the design options are essentially limitless. I know some people have said they found the cards disappointing because some were duplicates, just with different colors, but I haven’t found any, they all seem to be different.

These cards are so fun. I have been doing granny squares off n' on for years with a multitude of crafting books with granny square patterns, have created many of my own but decided to see what these cards had to offer and found many patterns I had never seen before. Looking forward to trying these patterns out for blankets for my great grandkids! It's always nice to find something new to do. These cards are made so well and the colors are vibrant; instructions simple to follow. Perfect gift for someone just starting out in this craft!
