Crochet a teapot granny square and make the most fun blankets and accessories for your home and kitchen decor.
I first designed the teapot granny square for the Granny Square Supplement of issue 126 of Simply Crochet. However, I also used the same pattern for one square of my Valentine’s Day collection.
To make the teapot more romantic for Valentine’s Day, I replaced the floral decoration with a heart applique. But of course, you can have fun and decorate your teapot with some polka dots, stripes, stars, or whatever you like best!
