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.

So weird that it is summer here! I can feel how cold it is by looking at the photo! Looks like your dogs had so much fun in this walk. Wet fun =)
ReplyDeleteYou'd think all dogs would like water but I've seen the ones who don't looking very nervous around our river and streams while others romp through it. #AnimalTales
ReplyDeleteOK - go on tell me - what are your average winter temperatures??
ReplyDeleteWe are just about to have a heatwave here in Normandy but I am not sure the forecast 32 degrees would be too hot for you and the dogs - Saari hates the heat mind you and we are yet to see what Harry thinks to it. I see some early morning walks happening this week.
Many thanks for adding this post to #AnimalTales - it's lovely to have people join from so far away.
PS - I have not forgotten to answer your question on red mite but am really behind with bloggy things - I'll tweet you when I do reply.
I know all about being behind on bloggy things so I hope you will forgive my late reply also. I don't know what our winter averages are but this week we had the coldest day in 3 years hitting 0 °C. I'll swap for your beautiful 32 any day! It's not really hot here unless it's over 40 °C
DeleteIt took ages for Bob to go near water, now we can't get him out of it, until it comes to washing him
