MINI MOTIFS COLLECTION
Small wonder
Making pretty statement pieces is easier than you think – just use simple little motifs like these!
WIN BY A NECK
Add a cute handmade touch to any top or dress with a removable collar made from granny hexagons. Putting it on takes seconds, too – tie it on and go!
IT’S A CINCH
Give an outfit the perfect finishing touch with a boho-style belt. It’s easily adjustable and oh so cute! And if you need a bigger size, just add more motifs to make it longer.
MITT MAGIC
Be bold in this eye-catching set of matching mini-motif fingerless gloves! They’re nice and roomy, so should fit most hand sizes.
BORDER TOWN
Trim a drapey shawl with a line of granny squares in a mix of enticing shades. It’s an attractive and achievable way to personalise a piece from your wardrobe.
BRING TO A HEAD
Even the simplest hairstyle can become a Pinterest-worthy masterpiece when you add this mini-squares headband to the mix. It’s a great stashbuster, too.
