MAKING A THROW

Make it as big as you require changing colour every round

I first did a wrap cushion way back in 2012 and have made several versions since.

One of the first i made in 2012 to go over a striped cushion cover to create a double pattern. Make the giant granny slightly smaller than required so it opes at the sides and join at the centre only 

in a SOLID GRANNY SQUARE

A block stitch version from 2013

Wrap cushion cover from lots of granny squares...

Basically its just a big Granny square, or lots of smaller square wrapped around a cushion....granny shells, solid dc, or a block stitch square. 

Make it big enough to wrap around the cushion you want to cover

One I did for Book 1: Granny Squares with a vintage vibe, that never made the book.
