Circle Of Hope Free Granny Square Pattern

Today I bring you the Circle of Hope FREE Granny Square Pattern! Isn’t it beautiful?

Rainbow’s are an ever popular symbol of hope in the worlds current climate, so I took inspiration from that and the amazing community (symbolised by the circle) to create this granny square. This stunning granny square is a beginner friendly pattern which will look amazing now matter what colours you choose. I chose to take inspiration from a pastel rainbow (of course!) and I just adore how it’s turned out.
