Christmas Pick and Mix Squares
These fun Christmas granny squares are all started the same by making a circle for each design in either the animal colour or main colour, then turning into a square using a background colour. They come in four sizes and are compatible with the pick and mix sweater and romper. Or can also be used to make blankets, cushions, wall hangings or anything you choose. The circle part can also be used to make appliques!
The sweater pattern can be found here and romper here
