Granny squares have been a beloved tradition with crocheters for more than 100 years, but these graphic granny afghans from Donna Williams make a dramatic break from tradition!

Follow her patterns to crochet five exciting looks, or create your own mosaic art using her technique of arranging solid-color squares and two-color triangle squares. Donna's designs include Painted Eggs, Puzzled, Belt Buckles, Greys on Pink, and Five C's.

All are for Easy skill level, using medium weight yarn and hook size G (4 mm). Charted variations of the designs are called Echoes, English Garden, Barrel of Monkeys, Flower Power, Southwest, and Zigzag. A blank grid is included for charting additional variations.
