Granny Square Wall Hanging

There are a million and two different patterns for granny squares available for free. This particular pattern is one that I just made up while I was crocheting. You can choose any one that you like. As you can see I did this one in a solid white.

I went out back and got an old twig from one of the trees and broke it to size. I used a yarn needle to 'sew' the square onto the twig and then just made a chain to use as a hanger.

For the bottom I just wrapped yarn around a piece of cardboard 20 times and then tied the ends around the top to make tassels in different colors. I had a bunch of the little craft clothespins laying around on my desk and my son suggested attaching the tassels to the pins so that I could change out the colors if I wanted to. I think it would be a great way to add a splash of color for the holidays. Maybe some pastel ones for Easter, orange and brown for Thanksgiving, red and green for Christmas, multicolors for Birthdays ... that sort of thing.

However you choose to do this, always remember that if you are not having fun then you're doing it wrong! =)
