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.

ReplyDeleteI've got plans for a yarny roundup - but shhh don't tell anyone.
DeleteI don't do Halloween at all. No way am I gonna glorify evil, like death and blood, witches etc. Personal conviction.
ReplyDeleteBut I have nothing against pumpkins. You have a terrific range of them here.
But people look askance at purple ones! Lol I have a profile pic of purple pumpkins that I've. Used on FB. I love it. Duh, huh? Lol
Speaking of FB are you on there?

I've never looked at Halloween that way, I thought it was about honouring passed saints. But either way lets go with the 'Fall' theme, I totally think purple pumpkins would be cool. I sure am on FB you can click on the 'F' at the top right of this page and it will take you there.
DeleteI am about to harvest my pumpkins - the leaves are just dying back and then I'll be able to see what I've got. Most will be for eating but I am sure I cold so some craft with a few. #Pinbellish
ReplyDeleteI'd probably go so far as to arranging them prettily on the bench until they got eaten ;p
DeleteI'll go look you up!
ReplyDeleteGlad you figured it out!
Deletei love the pumpkin painting but mine end up more ummmm free style lol
ReplyDeleteThe closest I'm going to get to pumpkin crafts is painting it with cooking oil and roasting it :p
