Welcome to the great crochet boom of 2022. ...
This year, crocheted granny squares have leapt onto dresses, Kimonos, tops, and cover-ups.
For some of us granny square clothing will forever remind of the seventies, In the ’70s these squares were combined to make blankets — perhaps your grandmother had one on her couch.
Perhaps this crochet look is a wearable way to get closer to our grandparents — a generation that’s been hit hard by the effects of the pandemic
On a lighter note, our appreciation for all things knit and crochet can be read yet another reaction against fast fashion. We are finally starting to value the time it takes to make something. The granny’s squares clothes are true works of art. There is also something almost subversive about taking something so traditionally domestic and proudly wearing it out in the world.
