i like to crochet in Winter, helps keep my fingers out of the cookie jar and while Ive made a number of multiple granny square blankets I’m not as keen on sewing all the squares together as I am to, in a Zen state, go around and around and around the one square.
so that’s how it started.
A few years ago I came across what is the worlds largest single granny square. Yes, there is a world record and it’s just over 11 metres by 11 metres or 121 square metres. I could challenge that I thought. And I did.
so, at the end of Winter this year I thought I’m sure I’m about 13 metres x 13 metres. That was was goal.
obviously i need a large space to spread it out properly so I figured I’ll just wrangle out one side and give it a rough measure.
Ok, so I’m an overachiever it seems.
Rough measurement of one side is actually 17 metres.
and that’s the the joy of Maths my granny square 289 square metres.
more than twice the size of the current world record.
Wow.
I still have to organise an official measure but here are a few pictures.
excuse the dog hair, I crochet with two dog weights ha ha.
