Why is it worth using a blocking board for collecting granny squares before sewing them together? Because crocheted squares/hexagons or triangles are not exactly flat and perfectly-shaped. Blocking sets the stitches and may enhance the drape of the fabric. It makes easier to work seams and edgings and may enable you to make minor size adjustments. The finished crocheted granny squares dimensions depend on a number of factors even your mood at a particular moment. Collect your granny squares on a blocking board and all your "grannies" will be the same dimension and well shaped.
