The Grannies Rectangle
The Grannies Rectangle is a family member to the Grannies Square! The rectangle is a variation on the square for those who would like to work the pattern in an elongated version versus a square. This pattern, like the square, can be made to any desirable size.
The Grannies Rectangle is a combination of the traditional granny square with a solid granny square. The rectangle can be made as small or as large as desired due to repeating rounds.
Notes:
· Size H/5.00 mm hook
· Ch 3 counts as a dc
· Lg cluster = 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc
· Sm cluster = 2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc
· Round 3 begins the Lg cluster rounds
· In the solid granny rounds (Round 4), dc in the ch 1s instead of the ch 1 spaces
· Rnd 4 is the solid granny round and Rnd 5 is the traditional granny round.
