Hi everyone! Today's pattern & video is on this pretty granny square! It is the Sweet Peach Granny Square by Melissa Bradley. I crocheted these to make The Sweet Peach Scarf (Just completed testing). If you're interested in testing future patterns, join my test group here!

I have a video for the traditional granny square using just one ball of yarn. You can watch it below or on youtube, here.
I have a couple of "granny" related garment patterns including the Granny Cabin Cardigan and Granni Pocket Cardi, but I really wanted a cardigan using squares stitched together.
