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.

Thanks Sue. And for the reminder.
DeleteWhat a handsome guy! I love how you capture these birds. Makes me jealous!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing him with us at Photo Friday!
It's just a bit of practice but you do need the zoom!
DeleteAbsolutely stunning!!
ReplyDeleteYou are a fabulous wildlife photog!!
His name is wonderful too.
It's a rather charming name for a dapper little guy isn't it?
DeleteGreat looking bird! Love the fabulous red cap. And you photos!
ReplyDeleteI love how he has a matching vest to go with his cap ;)
DeleteWow - what a looker! Tell me, is his name pronounced like chit chat or the French for cat which is how I first read it? Thanks for joining in with #AnimalTales again - it truly has been an International week.
ReplyDeleteI believe it's a hard 'ch' like chalk and chit chat. I want to see a red kitty now =D
DeleteLovely series of a very nice bird!
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Germany
Thank you Mascha =D
DeleteFantastic capture, and a beautiful bird.
ReplyDeleteHe is adorable, the lighting was terrible so I was lucky to get a shot at all.
DeleteWhat amazing colour on the bird! Lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a bright red you would think he would be easy to spot, but it helps camouflage him well.
DeleteVery adorable little bird! You caught some nice photos.
ReplyDeleteIt was the first time I'd ever seen a crimson chat in person. He really was the cutest.
DeleteBeautiful bird. Love the red!
ReplyDeleteMe too! The red is rather spectacular.
DeleteThat is certainly a colorful little fellow. I can see why you would want to capture his image. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteIt was a challenge in the failing light but it was totally worth persevering to get the shots.
Deletewhat an amazing shade of red, the birds in the southern hemisphere are so much prettier
ReplyDeleteDo you think so? I'm always seeing birds from other countries that I think are stunning. Maybe it's just because they look so exotic to us?
