Granny Half Squares are flat on the bottom and involve adding an extra dc into the first and last “granny group” of each row. For a refresher course, check out my ridiculously awesome tutorial!

For an awesome Granny Triangle tutorial, check out Carina’s craft blog – she’s got pictures and everything!
