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.

Fantastic, I love period clothing and looking into it all. And never even though about pant. Makes you wonder what people will say about pants of today in 80 years time x
ReplyDeleteAnd of course in 80 years time it will only be the poorly fitting ones that have survived. I want to know what the comfy ones were like in the 20's.
Delete*whistles* Hubba hubba! Wonder how many models would want to be photographed in those!! ;)
ReplyDeleteI dunno, personally, I think I could rock them. Then again, I'm at the point in my parenthood where I'll do just about anything to embarrass my oldest so I can't really say the decision comes from sound judgement :P
Thanks for sharing these! Very cool to see throwback fashion.
Nice to connect with you on The Art of Better Monday Mash-Up!
I bet you'd rock them in amazing style. I think they'd be quite comfy if they were made in the right size. I laughed thinking of all the ways you could embarrass your kids with these :D
DeleteHow interesting! I never even thought about what they would wear. My "unmentionables" look a lot more comfy that theirs. Thanks for linking up at Snickerdoodle Sunday! Hope to see you on Saturday!
ReplyDeleteGive me comfort every time!
DeleteLinen? Oh heck, no!! And the crotch in between the legs seems really wide!
ReplyDeleteGotta have all ctton- I guess I'm spoiled!
Linen gets comfier the older it is. We don't get beautiful fine linens like this these days. They do seem to be a very strange shape, I think she probably didn't get that quite right and that's why they are still in existence instead of worn out.
DeleteGood golly, imagine the time and effort women spent making their undergarments... Nowadays you can click a button and have a five - pack for each person in the family shipped to your door the next day. But I bet handmade lasted a lot longer!
ReplyDelete*Groan* I would hate to have to make all of my undergarments! But you're right, they probably would last a lot longer =)

ReplyDeleteI could not wear these, I'm so used to my stretch cotton. These would realy take getting used to.
ReplyDeleteIt would certainly be strange to wear now. It's funny how we get used to our favs. I'm seeing a change in modern styles now too, at least cotton knit isn't going to go away any time soon.
