Do you have lots of small balls of yarn? This is a great project to use them up in a pretty way! The mini granny squares only take about 60" for each one. And you will need lots of squares. You can make them all at once, or over a period of time. They look pretty stored in mason jars.

Ch 3 and join into ring, or use magic circle.

Sc in next 3 dc, (sc, ch 1, sc) in next ch 1 space, sc in next 3 dc, join to fist sc. Fasten off. Weave in ends.
Joining Rows
Holding right sides together, slip stitch the back loops of both rows together to join, leaving front loops free.
Outside Border
Sc in the back loop around, with a sc in the spot where the two rows are joined. Join. Sc in same st as joining, ch 2, dc in same st. Skip 2 stitches, *(Sc, ch 2, dc) in next stitch, skip 2 stitches* Repeat around, skipping only 1 stitch at corners so it lays flat. Join, finish off, weave in ends.
