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.

How lovely to have your very own dove! I love that the nest is so close.
ReplyDeleteI do hope they keep returning.
DeleteIt's a lovely looking Dove. So pleased you get to see it in your garden.
ReplyDeleteThey are certainly prettier then the feral pigeons.
DeleteShe is beautiful, we too have collared doves nesting in our garden, they are so beautiful. #AnimalTales
ReplyDeleteIt's such a treat when they make their home in your yard.
Deletewe used to have a pigeon that would visit us most days for almost a year
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have it visit so regularly.
DeleteIt's like she/he's wearing a very chic spotty scarf! A lovely visitor :)
ReplyDeleteIn silk, very glamorous. :0)
DeleteShe's a beauty! Thank you for sharing her with us. I don't think we have any special visitors to our garden - although the muscadine vines are alive with tiny bird - common sparrows - who make their nests deep in the foliage. I can hear them but very rarely do I get to catch a glimpse of them.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us for Photo Friday again this week!
Those little birds are so elusive aren't they? They move so fast, but at least their twitters are lovely to listen to even if we don't get to snap them.
DeleteMy daughter has 'her' pigeon. It's one of the crowd that live under a nearby railway bridge but it is very distinctive in colour (brown instead of the usual grey) so she always spots it. I quite like pigeons when they aren;t trying to eat the bird seed I put out for smaller birds. I like their calls.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like it might be a crossbreed. How awesome she gets to build a love for birds so early. Doves do have such a pretty song don't they?
DeleteI do love seeing your different antipodean birds - we do have turtle doves here but they don't look the same. Thank you for adding Spotti to #AnimalTales
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see what your turtle doves look like.
