I have been longing to create this spiral granny square since designed the Spiral Sun Hat earlier in the year.
I really love working the granny stitch in the round, but I wanted to create a square spiral, that captures the look and feel of a vortex.
This spiral granny square uses 4 different colours, which are all worked in the same round. Stitch markers will be your best friend to keep your stitches safe.

This solid spiral granny square can be worked in 2 or 4 colours, but you will still need to attach 4 strands.
