Granny Square Projects Beyond Blankets

Bags, cushions and quilted throws: what to do with a stack of squares.

By Sweety Dreamz ·

Granny squares are the ultimate portable project. Once you have a stack, here are some ideas that are not "just" a blanket.

Ideas and square counts

  • Cushion cover: 2 panels of 3 × 3 squares (18 squares)
  • Tote bag: 2 panels of 3 × 3 plus a strip of 3 for the base (21 squares)
  • Baby blanket: 6 × 7 squares (42)
  • Cardigan: about 40 to 60 squares, depending on size
