County Line Quilters. Basic Granny Square Pattern | Little Tin Bird. As promised, here is my pattern for the Basic Granny Square. I didn’t invent this pattern in the slightest, (obviously) but I’m going to show you step by step how to make the basic granny square. When I started to learn I couldn’t find a pattern that I could understand easily and so I hope to change that by doing one with lots of pictures :-) This is the pattern I used to make the squares for the Granny Alice blanket (above).
For this pattern, you will need to know how to chain stitch, and how to make a UK treble (TR) stitch. This is equivalent to the US double (DC) stitch but I will be using the UK terminology for this pattern. If you don’t know how to make a TR stitch, have a look HERE. I am using Rowan Handknit Cotton DK (and a 4mm hook) to write this pattern as I think it’s easier to see the stitches with cotton than wool.

GourmetQuilter - because quilting is delicious! — Creature Comforts Quilt Pattern. McCall's Quilting Blog. Diane Harris designed the Very Merry pattern for the latest issue of McCall’s Quick Quilts, October/November 2017.

In the meantime, we asked her to tell us the design backstory of Very Merry. Before I was a quilt designer, I often wondered how others came up with original ideas. I think I assumed that quilt designs came out of nowhere, thoroughly developed and polished to perfection. Then about 10 years ago, I read an article in Quilters Newsletter, and I had an epiphany. The article described how one artist had struggled, made, unmade, worked, reworked, sewn, unsewn, conceived, trashed, remade again and eventually finished her one-of-a-kind quilt. It takes time and effort to bring them up, to see them through to fruition. The idea for Very Merry came to me in bits and pieces, and that’s what I’m sharing today.
