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.

Horses are such regal animals. Love your photos of this great horse and the mean bird, too! :)
ReplyDeleteI think Maggie was nesting and feeling a little protective.
DeleteWhat a beautiful set of photos from the friendly horse, the last one is my favourite, it looks so pensive
ReplyDeleteHi Stella, lovely pictures of a friendly horse, love the close up of the eye, a mirror to it's soul. Love the bird picture too, looks like you were taking a risk being directly underneath it!

I was a bit worried about maggie pecking me on the head, it got very close a few times.
Deletetotally saluted the magpie then!
ReplyDeleteI love the eye-level photo of the last photo - just beautiful! #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, my favourite is the final photo. I love the close up detail
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up
That's my favourite too ;)
DeleteThe final photo is stunning. Love the simplicity and peacefulness x #MySundayPhoto x
ReplyDeletei love the photo of the horses eye with the fly
ReplyDeleteOh wow stunning especially the eye shot it is just so so stunning x
ReplyDeleteLove it! My horse loving 7 year old will too. She wants to be a horse vet and a ballerina teacher when she grows up. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting mix, but they need not be exclusive, there used to be Spanish Dancing Horses up the road from us. I can just imagine your little ballerina dancing with her horse =) (Sorry I got a bit carried away there.)
DeleteWow these are some really good pictures. The last one is my favorite because it is such a great close up pic.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alicia, I rather like the last one too. =)
DeleteGreat pix as always, Stella! You have the "Eye of the Photographer!"
ReplyDeletePerhaps I do, because all I see are the bits that didn't turn out right ;p
Deletewhat a cute fella stella:) maggies are a bit scary. they can really jab you and make you bleed! lovely horsey face.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I ducked 3 times and then I got outta there! It got my heart racing I can tell you. Maggie didn't seem to want to actually attack me just shoo me off, but I think if I'd hung around any longer an attack would have been eminent. It's not common for them to be aggressive around here but I think the nest was nearby.
