#2604 Granny square Handmade Crochet Multicoloured Blanket 76” x 62”

The granny square crochet technique, characterized by its distinctive circular or hexagonal motifs built up in rounds, gained significant popularity in the mid-20th century. This style of crochet became a hallmark of the bohemian and hippie movements of the 1960s and 1970s, often seen in clothing, accessories, and home decor. Its versatility and the ability to use up yarn scraps made it an accessible craft for many.

Handmade afghans, particularly those crafted using traditional techniques like the granny square, are often cherished as heirlooms or decorative pieces. They represent a significant investment of time and skill by the artisan. While mass-produced blankets are common, handmade items like this carry a unique charm and value, often appreciated for their individuality and the warmth they bring to a home.
