Video Tutorial
What a fun way to embellish a solid granny square! I have only surface crocheted a few times. Need to add this one to my list. A bunch with a continuous string of lights would be neat. Pinned.
Would love if you shared this at our October Granny-Spiration Challenge – a granny square inspired link up. Current one can be found here: http://eyeloveknots.blogspot.com/2017/10/pumpkin-pixel-art-free-crochet-pattern.html

Thank you!!
I am loving this CAL. When you see the black lights string down to granny block do you sew on both sides of the chain loops or just down the middle. Thanks.
I sewed them just down the middle and it worked well. I think either way would work!
Thanks so much
