Here's a keepsake that may pull at your heart strings. It certainly did mine. Nestled in a Christmas paper wrapped box, 9 hand crochet Granny squares were given as a gift "To Granny".
Many of the squares are wrapped with crochet thread, all tied in bundles to give to Granny. What a thoughtful gift from a grandchild. Granny, I am sure, had a fond remembrance, too, as she, too, put the box away just as it was presented.
Judging from the design of the Christmas paper and about the age of the crochet work, my thought is about 1940's.
A couple of the little squares were not tied, so unfolded to take the photos and measurement. The block is 3-1/2 square.
The size of the little box, in case you want to know, is 3" x 5" x 1/2" high. Paper of the box is decent but not perfect. The crochet is unused. Color of the squares are ecru.
