Granny squares are more than just colorful blocks of yarn—they’re pieces of living history. These iconic crochet motifs trace their roots to the Victorian era, when women across Europe and North America embraced modular needlework for both beauty and practicality. The first published pattern resembling a granny square appeared in 1891, and since then, the humble square has journeyed through generations and across continents. During the Great Depression, it became a symbol of thrift and resilience. In the 1970s, McCall’s magazine launched it into the fashion world, turning handmade coats and vests into bold boho statements. Today, granny squares are experiencing a global revival on social media and in slow-fashion circles. Whether stitched by hand or shared online, they remain a timeless expression of creativity, community, and craft.
