Little Tin Bird » Basic Granny Square Pattern
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. 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.

I hope this pattern is of some help to you anyway :) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Related:  Crochet

Anleitung: Sunburst Flower Granny Square haekeln « Kasa Amend Geschafft: Meine Foto-Anleitung zum Häkeln der Sunburst Flower Granny Squares für eine dieser tollen Decken, wie sie viele wahrscheinlich von Sandra Juto oder dieser Flickr Group kennen, ist fertig. Für eine Freundin, die heute Geburtstag hat, wollte ich schon längst mal meine kleine Übersetzung dieser englischen Anleitung von MaryjoO abtippen. Nun hab ich mir etwas mehr Zeit genommen, um die Anleitung noch etwas detaillierter auszuarbeiten. Dank des tollen Fußauslösers, konnte ich die ganzen Häkel-Schritte selbst fotografieren und da die liebe MaryjoO nichts dagegen hatte, stelle ich das Ganze nun auch hier in den Blog und wünsche viel Spaß beim Häkeln. Wolle: Cool Wool 2000/ Merino Superfein von Lana Grossa (Das aber nur als Info, ihr könnt selbstverständlich auch ganz andere Wolle nehmen. Die Merino Wolle ist zwar etwas teuerer, aber sehr weich & kuschelig und lässt sich außerdem ganz gut waschen.) Bedarf: Etwa 9 g Wolle habe ich pro Granny Square verhäkelt. Doppelstäbchen: Puff-Stich:

Revisiting the Granny Mandala…. | Crochet with Raymond Helloooooo!!!!!! I hope you’re all having a fabulous week!! I certainly am and it is very much due to the amazing and beautiful sunny weather we are STILL having! I’m pleased to announce that my creative slump is officially over! I’ve been contemplating my Granny Circles for a while now, and decided that it is time to re-do that tutorial, as since I first had a play with making the circle back in August, I’ve learned a few new techniques and stitches, and I like the way I’ve been doing the centres lately much more… they’re not as ‘squished,’ so I decided to do up a brand spanking new tutorial! Soooooooooooooo………. Round 1: Make a magic ring…. if you’ve never done this before now, click here for step by step photo instructions….. and into this circle make 3ch (counts as 1dc) 1dc, *ch1, 2dc* repeat ** until you have 6 2dc’s separated by 1ch each, join with a slst to 3rd chain of original 3ch. Rounds 1-3! Yes! OK… let’s make our first round of increases….. Mandala-rific! Like this:

Sew Sweet Violet McCall's Quilting Blog Diane Harris designed the Very Merry pattern for the latest issue of McCall’s Quick Quilts, October/November 2017. Diane is a past editor of Quiltmaker, recently launching her own company, Stash Bandit. Go to stashbandit.net to see more of what’s happening with Diane. 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. 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. I wondered, “What would happen if the points were smaller?” I started thinking about using the stars in a quilt layout.

On japanese crochet road Granny Stripe Headband/Earwarmer I had to stop in the middle of working my Granny Stripe Boutique Bag the other day and when I set it down realized it would make a perfect headband/earwarmer. I used a smaller hook size so the shells would be closer together. I think it turned out perfectly! I love how these look all stacked together. This pattern is written for children 6-12. You can increase or decrease the size of this by adding or subtracting by 3's to the initial chain. This is my beautiful daughter Isabel modeling. MATERIALS LIST: Worsted Weight Yarn (I used Impeccable found at Michaels.) STITCH COMBINATIONS: Shell is "work 3 dc in same st or sp." TIPS: Join all rounds. Starting out: Ch 67. Finish off. You can attach any flower you like.

Daisy Granny Square pattern Hello Lovelies, thank you all so much for your wonderful "Yorkshire" comments. I'm so glad you enjoyed sharing my pictures :0) Here is a photo tutorial of my latest square .Quite a few you you lovelies seemed to like it . I expect there are similar patterns already in existence , but this is my own creation and thought you might like to try it ..... It's a simple pattern . The pattern is written in U.S. terms. using yellow yarn.......... begin by chaining 4 and slip stitch in first ch to join to form a ring........... ch 1 ........ and work 7 sc into ring, the space you want is the bottom space in the picture above ............ I crochet over the loose end as I make my sc stitches , that way you can pull the centre tighter with it if you want slip stitch into first sc to join and fasten off......... NOTE the next part will seem rather tricky if you are not used to making puff stitches. using white yarn ........ join into any sc and make a puff stitch like this.......... yarn over hook

crazy mom quilts Learn to Crochet | Understanding Instructions | Knit Simple Magazine Learning about crochet is like immersing yourself in a foreign culture where another language is spoken and written, and where there are unfamiliar rules and customs. It can be a little intimidating and a tad frustrating at times, but the payoff is big and totally worthwhile. So continue to follow along as we explain what you’ll need to know before you make your very first project! The longest journey begins with the first step, and knowing the meaning and importance of gauge is your first step to crocheting a garment that comes out the correct size. The second step is making a gauge swatch, which enables you to make sure you get the recommended gauge before you begin your project. Once you have achieved the recommended gauge, it’s time to begin your project! The first time you look at the directions for a crochet pattern stitch or directions for a project, you may think it’s written in a foreign language. So what are all these numbers?

Passion-Crochet Three Beans in a Pod: Retro Circles - The Tutorial I’m calling this a ‘tutorial’ rather than a pattern as I’m not re-inventing the wheel. Although I didn’t work from a pre-existing pattern when making my blanket I know there are many ‘circle in a square’ patterns out there. One from Little Tin Bird that is very similar to what I had done, so I would hate anyone to think that I’m claiming their pattern as my own. So! Abbreviations: US crochet terms SS- Slip stitch SC- Single crochet HDC- Half-double crochet DC- Double crochet TC- Treble crochet Ch- Chain Select the hook that works well with the yarn you have. Note: Rounds 2-4 worked entirely in the BACK LOOP ONLY. Round 1: Start with a magic circle and chain 3 (counts as first DC), 11 more DC into the circle, tighten circle. Alternatively, if you’re not sure how to do a magic circle you can chain 4, join to make a ring. Round 2: Chain 3, DC into same loop. Round 3: Chain 3, DC into same stitch. Round 4: Chain 3, DC into same loop. * DC in the next two back loops, 2 DC in next.

County Line Quilters Tangled Online Magazine I designed this retro-funky cushion when I realized that the pile of square cushions resting on my box full of LP record-albums were feeling the groove too! I entwined the tunes with the yarn to bring a little bit of the style from those glorious vinyl decades to the living room. You can personalize the label on each cushion you make with your favorite album titles. What better to rest upon than a heap LP cushions after dancing to your favorite grooves? Original design by Rommyna De Leeuw Rommyna learned the basics of crochet in elementary school, and continued the education in secondary school, where she recognized a love of working with fiber.
