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.

Woweee! Great shot! We posted a butterfly last week and are always amazed at their beauty #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteButterfly's do have something magical about them don't they?
DeleteNice shots! I don't know what it is about butterflies and bees - I always have to stop and try and catch a shot :)
ReplyDeleteI've been trying for ages to get a butterfly. This is the first one that has stood still long enough for me to capture it. One of those little photographer moments of 'Yeah! I finally shot it'.
DeleteWow so much detail amazing shots, Clio lending a helping hand for Coombe Mill

DeleteStella, you inspired me to photograph a grasshopper on my hibiscus the other day. I'm not sure if the pic will ever see the light of day on the blog, but it was fun to think I was you, for a few minutes! ;)
ReplyDeleteWoot woot! Thanks for making my day! I hope we get to see the pretty hibiscus and grasshopper :O)
DeleteAmazing capture. So pretty. The texture of the butterfly looks so delicate! #mysundayphoto
ReplyDeleteThey do seem more delicate then other butterfly's somehow.
DeleteWhat a lovely and unique butterfly.

They look amazing when they are ready to mate, the pair flitter around each other in the prettiest dance.
DeleteOooh, just keep that butterfly away from my cabbages!
ReplyDeleteWe have such trouble with growing vegetables in our garden between the caterpillars (and butterflies) and the snails. I haven't even bothered to try growing cabbages.
DeleteStunning! I love all the detail and the different views. Great images!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nikki!
DeleteAlways lovely to see a butterfly. These white ones just won't sit still enough in my garden for a photo!
ReplyDeleteI think this one was newly emerged from the cocoon and still pumping it's wings out to their complete fullness and that is why I was able to capture her. They move so fast and although I have tried many times this was the first time I was able to capture one and she just sat there for a while and let me take photos.
DeleteOh wow, these are great shots. The features are so clear!
ReplyDeletethanks =)
