I didn't know exactly what I wanted the granny square to look like, but I knew I wanted to use I Love This Yarn! from Hobby Lobby. That's really my go-to brand for acrylic because there are so many great colors to choose from! You can find some of my other projects using I Love This Yarn! below (click each title below to take you to the free pattern).

  • Llama Llove Pillow

  • Peaches Pie Ombre Loop Stitch Rug

  • Neon Waves Mini Wall Hanging

I just love the mosaic tile look these granny squares have and the boho feel of the colors...And that's how the name, Boho Mosaic Granny Square, came to be!
