Two-Tone Granny Squares

Two-Tone Granny Squares

Two‑tone squares are so much fun to make, and the technique is wonderfully simple. After each round, turn your work and change colors without breaking the yarn. Instead, carry the unused color up the back of your work from round to round, creating neat vertical floats on the wrong side.

When inserting your hook into a corner space shared by two colors, hold the floats close to the stitch that matches their color. This keeps the back tidy and prevents the floats from peeking through to the front.
