Granny Ornament Crochet Kit

A complete, eco-friendly crochet kit to make two ornaments – a square and a star – in the style of traditional ‘granny’ squares.

This DIY kit contains everything you need to make both ornaments:

• 23-page fully-illustrated crochet pattern printed on 100% recycled paper
• lovely British Shetland wool in red, white and green
• 3mm wooden crochet hook (optional)
• blunt-tipped metal yarn needle

The lovely, springy yarn included in this kit is 4ply weight woollen-spun 100% British wool yarn. It from Shetland breed sheep grown on Shetland, and is also prepared and spun on the Shetland islands. This yarn is synthetic-free and not super-wash treated, which is a process that involves chlorination and coating the wool fibres with a plastic-based polymer.

🟨 This project is categorised as suitable for intermediate crocheters. Anyone with a solid knowledge of crochet should be able to make this project and the project will seem familiar if you have made ‘granny’ squares before. The trickiest part is the border which produces the striking harlequin effect, but everything is explained in great detail in the pattern. You can see an explanation for the difficulty levels of my kits and crochet patterns.

The kit is designed to be as eco-friendly / sustainable as I can possibly make it, and is beautifully presented, so the kit itself makes a great gift for a crafty and/or eco-minded friend.
