FREE Cross Stitch Pattern Giant Granny Square

Welp, I'm up to one of my crazy projects again! This mornign my Instagram friend, Elizabeth @SolerStitches, shared THIS VIDEO from Morgan Renfro who is painting a cross stitch pattern on her wall!!! Ummmm.... hello!!! I am on it!!! 

Update! Here is the (mostly) finished wall!

I went through some of my finishes over the last few years and decided a giant version of my free granny square pattern would be perfect. 

Rainbow Granny Square Cross Stitch Pattern by AnnMakesThings


A cross stitch pattern + a crochet pattern + painting really big on a wall = perfection!!

I quickly made a larger version in PCStitch and voila, I am ready to paint! Well the wall I'm thinking of painting really needs a new color as the base so it may be a little bit before I am able to add a cross stitched crocheted granny square to it. 

Follow me on Instagram to enjoy my crazy journey!

Here is the pattern I will be using, but I will probably be adjusting the colors. Let me know if you're going to join in on this fun project too!










Lately, I have been feeling so down and dreary (hello, cold rainy weather, I'm looking at you) and this project has put the spring back in my step!

Have a color-full day,
Ann :)
