Making
the panels
Place 8 squares for each panel. With the right side
facing up, use a yarn needle and yarn to connect the squares together. Start at
the outer corner of two squares and sew the yarn through the back loops only.
Continue with the other squares, sewing horizontally and vertically. When finished, weave
in all yarn ends. Follow the steps in making the next panel.

Once you have made two granny square panels. Fold them
in half horizontally. Begin at the bottom of the panel with a yarn and needle,
sew through the back loops of the two outer corner squares. Fasten off the yarn
and weave in the ends. Continue this with the other panel.
Connecting the panels
Bring both panels together and with yarn and a needle, sew
both middle granny squares together. Sew up to your desired length. Fasten off the yarn and weave in the yarn ends.
