Prepare It to Donate: Finishing Your Square with Care

Whether it’s your first granny square or your fiftieth, taking the final step to prepare it for donation is just as important as crocheting it. A little extra care at the end ensures your square can be joined smoothly into a blanket that will bring comfort to someone facing serious illness. This step is simple—but meaningful.

❓ What is Warming Neighbors?

Warming Neighbors is a grassroots blanket mission through Why Knot Crochet that collects handmade granny squares and turns them into beautiful crochet blankets for neighbors walking through difficult seasons — illness, grief, hardship, or unexpected crisis.

❓ Why it matters?

Because warmth is more than temperature.

I’m doing this because too many people are walking through hard seasons quietly — illness, grief, loneliness, financial strain — and they need to know someone sees them.

I’m doing this because crochet has always been more than yarn to me. It’s therapy. It’s prayer. It’s hope worked in loops.

I’m doing this because small things matter. One granny square feels tiny in your hands… but when stitched together with others, it becomes something strong enough to wrap around someone’s shoulders.

I’m doing this because handmade love hits differently.

I’m doing this because I believe ordinary people can make an extraordinary difference when we show up consistently.

And honestly?

I’m doing this because I don’t want to sit back and wish the world was warmer.

I want to help make it warmer.

One square.

One blanket.

One neighbor at a time. 💛
