Recommended Yarn and Crochet Hooks
Let me share my absolute favorite yarn choice for these granny squares - Loopara Milk Cotton yarn! I can't wait to tell you why I'm so smitten with it.
The yarn is incredibly soft and gentle to the touch, offering perfect stitch definition that shows off every detail of your work. What I particularly love is how it never splits while working, and it holds its shape beautifully after blocking. The range of colors available blends together like a dream!
In this guide, I used this gorgeous color combination: light blue (#74) creates a dreamy background, white (#43) adds a crisp border, purple (#75) forms delicate flower petals, yellow (#24) brings a sunny center, mint green (#30) adds lovely leaves, and black (#02) provides perfect accents. These colors blend together so harmoniously, but feel free to play with different combinations to create your own unique look.
For this delicate pattern, I pair the yarn with a 2.5mm crochet hook. This combination creates beautifully defined stitches and helps maintain the intricate detailing of the flower motif, giving your work a more refined, professional finish. Trust me, once you try this yarn and hook combination, you'll be just as excited as I am about creating these lovely squares!
Also, the best part of making granny squares is that these small squares work up quickly, making them perfect for portable projects you can take anywhere.

Care instructions
I'll share my tried-and-true care tips to keep your beautiful triangle granny squares looking as lovely as the day you made them! Since we're using Loopara milk cotton yarn, these pieces are wonderfully easy to care for, but a little extra attention will help them last for years to come.
For washing, I always recommend hand washing in cool water with a gentle wool wash or mild detergent. Despite being cotton, gentle handling will help maintain those crisp stitches and keep your flower motifs looking fresh. Avoid wringing or twisting the pieces - instead, gently squeeze out excess water and roll them in a clean towel.
Blocking is your best friend when it comes to maintaining the perfect triangle shape! After washing, lay your squares flat on a blocking mat and pin the corners to achieve that precise triangular form. I find this especially important for pieces that will be joined together - it makes seaming so much easier when every square is exactly the same size.
When it comes to storage, I keep my finished pieces flat in a drawer away from direct sunlight. If you need to stack them, place acid-free tissue paper between layers to prevent any color transfer or snags. For projects in progress, I love using a breathable cotton project bag - it keeps everything clean while allowing the yarn to breathe.
One last tip that has served me well: if you're creating a larger project that requires multiple squares, consider blocking them all at once before joining. This ensures consistent sizing and makes the final piece look professionally finished. With proper care, these lovely triangles will remain a cherished piece in your collection!
