7x9" Rectangle Granny

Sized for Warm Up America

Pattern by Donna Hulka of yarntomato.com

Yes, technically it should be rectangular granny, but rectangle granny feels better. Either way, with this pattern you'll be whipping up 7x9" sections in no time for Warm Up America or your favorite charity that accepts this size. Or for yourself! I love grannies for the rhythmic comfort of mindless crochet. And plus, grannies always look good!
