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.

Your outfit is soooo beautiful. I am amazed how it all turned out - you have brilliant sewing skills. I was just wondering how people in the past wore them in the colonies. Singapore is sweltering hot so did they make any adjustments? Would be interesting to find out. Thank you for sharing. So lovely!
ReplyDeleteGreat question! I'm only just starting to figure out details for the 19thC but from what I've found so far styles were much the same for hot weather but fabrics were super fine, sheer even. 'Sports' corsets started gaining popularity because they would have gaps in between the boned sections to allow them to breathe.
DeleteIt was 31C on Sunday when I wore this and I know that if it had been a light cotton it would have been far more pleasant. My chest should have been covered with a partlet but I didn't get it made and in that heat I wouldn't have worn it anyway. Did you see my pinterest board for 19thC Australia? It's a good place to start for figuring out what they wore in the colonies. We'll have to figure out what you guys would have been wearing then.
Oh, I will need to check it out. Thanks!
DeleteThat looks like so much fun to go to. Thanks for sharing.
