Worlds Largest
​Granny Square

COMPLETED!

World's Largest Crocheted Granny Square

On July 21st, 2013 I began what I thought would be just another of the many granny squares I had been making for my Saddlerock Yarnbomb. Then it dawned on me, since starting a new square took the most effort, it would be much more efficient to make much larger ones. When it reached 4 feet across I wondered what the record for the largest granny square might be. Turns out there wasn't a category for it yet. When I applied for a new category to be started, I was rejected. So I appealed, and was rejected. This happened 2 more times until they relented and said if I make it at least 10 meters squared, I would have the record.
Two years, 7 months and 17 days later I completed the challenge.
