It’s Granny Square Day!
In honor of Granny Square Day and #crochetsummer2019 we prepared a colorful little surprise—the Sub Rosa Earrings by Lana Jois!
While Lana was crocheting up her Sub Rosa for the Kelbourne Woolens Crochet Collection she also whipped up a petite version of her granny square motif into earrings with a note exclaiming, “I couldn’t help myself!”
We couldn’t help ourselves either, and Meghan Babin immediately dove into our Mojave stash when she was at the office and made a few colorful versions of the Sub Rosa Earrings of her very own!
The Sub Rosa Earrings are simple granny squares worked in the round using two colors of our ready-for-crochet Mojave.
Grab some dangly earring findings and a hook to follow our sweet and simple pattern for a pair (or many pairs) of your own!
