I just love a granny square, don’t you? There’s something so cute and unique about each one. I’m so excited to share this beautiful boho mosaic crochet granny square pattern with you!

So, we have this chair that my grandfather-in-law made and my husband has had it since he was young. It has a lot of memories attached to it and It’s very special owning passed down pieces like that! It’s definitely been “loved” over the years and needed a little bit of freshening up. I thought, what better way to give it a little lift, than to cover the cushions in granny squares! 🙂
I’ll be adding a blog post about covering the chair as well, so make sure you check back for the reveal! Sign up [here] for the yokieB newsletter so that you don’t miss it!
I didn’t know exactly what I wanted the granny square to look like, but I knew I wanted to use I Love This Yarn! from Hobby Lobby. That’s really my go-to brand for acrylic because there are so many great colors to choose from! You can find some of my other projects using I Love This Yarn! below (click each title below to take you to the free pattern).
I just love the mosaic tile look these granny squares have and the boho feel of the colors…And that’s how the name, Boho Mosaic Granny Square, came to be!
