Is there a written pattern for the border of the spiral granny?
You can find the written instructions for the spiral granny here: https://blog.tcctest.co.uk/spiral-granny-square/
What if you wanted to make the squares bigger? Where would you suggest continuing?
Hi Danielle To make a bigger square I would suggest using thicker yarn and/or a bigger hook size
I love your video! I love the way you say to pause the video and put the stitches we are working on on the screen. Thank you so much!
Hi Cheryl, Thank you and you are very welcome 🙂
Wonderful video. I was wondering why the border round was not in the written pattern? I had to go back to the video to write down the border instructions. Thanks
