Catching Rays Granny Square
Throwing it back to last Thursday to when I introduced y’all to my freestyle beachy top project. Several crocheters asked if there was a pattern or if I would create a pattern for the top. Well, I researched and have only found the top for sale, but no pattern.
I decided to take you all up on the request for a pattern and have begun by creating my own square (to make it even more original). I’ve named it the Catching Rays square. It is super easy and is only 5 rounds. 👏
I hope you’ll enjoy incorporating it into any of your granny square projects. Please tag me if you do! Stay tuned for more details to come on the top pattern.
Xoxo, Rachel
