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 :)

he will rejoice over you with gladness;

    he will quiet you by his love;

he will exult over you with loud singing."

FREE Cross Stitch Pattern - Granny Squares Mini Blanket

So excited to finally share this pattern! 

I love to crochet but have misplaced my crojo since 2020. 

Fortunately that's when I began to focus on little, portable, car-line-friendly cross stitch projects. Then I decided to combine the two and create a crochet granny square pattern done in cross stitch. 

I designed it back in the spring of this year and chuckled when a fabulous, famous designer released a granny square pattern a month later. (Actually I was pretty discouraged, but later realized that they were actually rather different from each other.) So at last here is MY pattern! 

The fun thing is how you can customize it with your own colors and how many squares you decide to do: 1 huge one, 4 together like mine, or 9 or 100! It is up to you. 

The first one I did in my favorite color palette, but I have added 2 more versions. Look at those yummy colors!!! (For my Instagram friends, these colors are in my Lori Holt "Flea Market Flowers" and in my Jeannette Douglas "Mini Bouquet Sampler." 

One with jewel tone colors.

And one with fall or 70's colors.

Now for the patterns. I'm new to sharing pdf's on Blogger, so please comment below (or on Instagram) if you have trouble opening or downloading any of these.

hello

Hi! I'm Ann and I make things. Thank you for checking out my blog. Currently, I'm on a cross stitch kick. 

Below is a WIP (work in progress) that is a lovely free SAL (stitch along) from the talented Jeanette Douglas. A new bouquet is posted to her blog on the 1st of each month of 2022.

I have substituted all of the colors for a brighter palette and will list the numbers in my next post. 

I am also working on a cross stitched version of this granny square blanket I made for my daughter years ago.

Should be another colorful project!

Thanks for stopping by! God loves you!

:) Ann
