crochet:: hawaiian granny square pattern

I am thoroughly enjoying my crafting right now.

I am so thankful that I have hobbies to take my mind off my troubles.

Loving the hooker therapy.

No big secret here ~ my dreamy layers pillow is just a giant hawaiian granny square.

I have searched the interwebs to find a pre-typed version to share to no avail.

So, I must undertake this on behalf of our great-great-great-great-great-grannies.

 My pattern for this has always been scribbled on paper, copied out of one of my Granma Amy’s books years ago.

I have no idea to whom the credit should go for this old granny square pattern.   But here it is…
