This circular spiral granny square pattern is similar to the Spiral granny square in that 4 colours are worked into the same round, but this spiral pattern is more rounded inside the square.

This example of an unusual granny square pattern is a great addition to any granny square blanket and has a striking look.

You can choose to work it it 4 different colours if you fancy making the square even more unique!

Working in the round is always fun, and the added challenge of working all the different colours in the one round makes this a unique project.
