Instagranny yarn: specially designed to make granny squares

Crochet eye-catching, multi-colour granny squares without having to worry about changing colour, with Instagranny from Katia

Granny squares: the retro throwback that everyone should learn to crochet. With Katia Instagranny 100% Merino wool yarn you can make them in an instant, and perfect every time.

Instant + granny = Instagranny

How it works: In a single ball of Instagranny yarn there’s 5 rows of 3 exact colour cycles (that create 3 identical granny squares). The yarn fibres transition naturally from colour to colour so there’s no need to change it yourself! And there’s enough extra yarn between squares for you to join them or finish off the borders.

Let’s take a look at 4 unique kits where you can put Katia Instragranny yarn to good use.

  1. Granny Square cowl  Ideal for crochet beginners. Turn just 3 balls of the Instagranny yarn into a stand-out, colourful cowl with classic granny squares and button fastening. Just join your finished squares into a larger square shape and fold it in half to create your triangular bandana-style cowl.
