Learn how to create a seam free, single sided Crochet Granny square for perfect results every time.
The humble Granny Square is the crochet staple of Nanna's everywhere, which is how it came to be known as a 'Granny Square'. Originally it was just called a crochet square.
The Granny Square is often the very first thing we are taught when learning to crochet, so it would follow that it would be simple to have a perfect square every time and those new to crochet often get discouraged when this is not the case.
However, to get a perfect square actually requires a bit of experience, good fundamentals and advanced row starting techniques, otherwise you are left with seams, the reverse side of stitches showing every second row or even a slight spiral effect.
This granny square is made without turning your work and has a right and a wrong side.

Thanks for sharing this amazing post. I have read about the cuffs but have never seen them. May I ask where you got them? BTW, I have a small collections of ladies' handkerchiefs.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed it. I had never seen them before either, They were listed on ebay a few years ago. The listing said they were found in a closet of an old farm house in Michigan. I'd love to see your handkerchiefs.
DeleteI'm curious as to where you got these? Very interesting! :) Are you going to try to duplicate these?
ReplyDeleteThey were a great ebay find, just sheer luck I think. When I can find the right linen I would love to dry to make replicas. I should get practising on that lace design I suppose.
