Designers  elevated granny chic on spring and fall runways with afghans fashioned as um, fashion. Not sure anyone would actually wear a crochet square getup (other than Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who’ve been spotted with granny square scarves), but the look is taking hold in decors for the under 60 set. A lot of these images are from Flickr, but there’s the usual Anthropologie shot (their displays are always on trend), and a couple from magazines. For additional commentary on the look, see “Trendlet Alert: Crochet” on The Inside Source.
