Granny Square Day returns on Thursday 15th August 2019, so make sure to put the date in your diary – this year is going to be bigger and better than ever!

It’s easy to get involved. On (or before) August 15, take a photo of your granny square and crop the photo into a square shape, so that the granny square neatly fills up the entire space (a four-round traditional granny works well, but feel free to make yours as simple or as detailed as you like). On the day, upload the picture onto your Instagram account, and – most importantly of all – make sure to post it with the hashtag #grannysquareday2019. Your square will then be added to the virtual blanket! To see the blanket, search #grannysquareday2019 – you will need to be viewing in Instagram’s standard three-wide format to get the full effect.
