Bright, breezy and brilliantly clever — this charming 1978 “Playtime Popover” granny square top is made from just 6 squares in 3 different sizes. The genius is in the construction: the same square design is simply worked with more rounds to create larger squares, so the whole top grows naturally from one simple motif. Quick, satisfying and endlessly colourful.
