When we talk about Granny Square, we mean the typical tile made in crochet by grandmothers, in cotton or wool, to make blankets, shawls and other garments. It’s one of the first crochet processes you learn because it’s simple to make and quite versatile: you can also create crochet bags, pillows, clothes and accessories.
The fringe manufacture embellishes this fabric to be able to package all the products that require it.
These are very colorful and showy creations, just because the grandmothers made them using leftover yarn, and now they are also returning to fashion: in summer, thanks to the large and colorful beach bags made with cotton yarn, and in winter to show off soft sweaters and blankets for a vintage style. More generally, all crochet creations are on trend: from tops to caps, from dresses to fabric earrings. Even celebrities, this year, have not resisted the fashion of the moment: characters like Chiara Ferragni and Cristina Parodi have shown off on social media their crochet garments.
