The Green Dragonfly | A site about creativity, crochet and fun crafts with children. Joining Granny Squares. When I join my Granny Squares together I always choose to crochet them rather than stitch them. Its just the way that appeals to me, although many of my hooking buddies prefer the stitching method.
I guess it's a personal preference. And as many of you have asked me to supply this information, here you have it :: my take on joining the Grannies, in usual Attic24 style with waaaaay too many pictures I suspect. But hey, I want you to get it and not struggle with it, and I think pictures do the job better than words. Ok, firstly put your two squares together, Right Sides together. So your hook goes through the outside loop of the square nearest to you.... ...then through the outside loop of the square farthest away. Start at the right hand corner, you are working right to left. Put hook through OUTSIDE LOOPS of the corner stitches, and hook your yarn through both loops.
(Note :: I am using a contrasting red yarn here to join so you can see it easily, but best to use a matching colour. Free knitting patterns: tiny knitted toys. Here is a free pattern to make some teeny tiny toys - just under 2.5 inches (6 cms) tall. It's a wee bit fiddly but lots of fun! What you will need: some left-over scraps of 4ply yarn in pink, black and fur colour (brown/ cream / grey...) a small circle of felt (for the back of the face - to prevent the tiny stitches pulling through), 1 pair of 2.25mm needles and 2 double pointed 2.25mm needles. You can use thicker yarn and larger needles for a larger sized toy, eg: 3mm needles with DK yarn 3.25mm needles with aran yarn With your fur colour yarn and 2.25mm needles cast on 13 stitches - leaving a tail of around 5 inches for sewing up later.
Purl the first row and knit the next. Cut the work from the ball of yarn leaving around 6 inches for sewing up and thread a needle with this end. Now take your small circle of felt and place at the back of the work behind where you plan to embroider the face. Pull up tightly to gather seam and seal body cavity. Now make the limbs (4 the same).
