Pattern Notes

Granny Square Motifs

• Each color aligns with one round in the motif using five colors in total. If you find you have too much color left at the end of the round, pull back some stitches and adjust your gauge to finish at the color change. Conversely, if you have too little, tighten your gauge slightly.
• When the motif is complete, cut the yarn at the end of Color 5 (the longest color repeat), leaving a tail for weaving in. Start the next motif with Color 1.
• The motif begins with Color 1 (shortest color repeat) from the center of the pull-skein. Leave a 4″ [10 cm] tail to weave in.
