A baby nephew is coming, and I decided it was time to put my money where my mouth is and make something lovely. I started out using the
Crocheted Granny Square pattern in cream, but it the squares were a bit too big with wider spaces for little baby hands. So I took our existing pattern, shrank it up a bit and used a light taupey-grey yarn. Here are the pictures I took along the way:

Finished!
I love the granny squares in solid colors. It brings a whole new feel to the pattern. What do you think? Ready to
make your own?
