 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.

Folding the panels

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 panel

Bring both panels together and with yarn and a needle, sew both middle granny squares together. Sew up to your desired length. Fasten the yarn and weave in the yarn ends.
