peggy square /ˈpɛɡi ˌskwɛː/noun NZA small knitted woollen square, numbers of which are sewn together to make blankets: children knitted peggy squares and women knitted balaclavas for the troops...- I am so glad I started collecting peggy square blankets last year as their popularity is making them scarce as hens' teeth and expensive.
- A Peggy square blanket: this is only a quarter of the size and its very solid but soft feeling.
- I love old textiles - woollen blankets, handstitched doileys, crochet peggy square blankets, florals and old school prints, distressed furniture.
