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.

Such lovely photos. I am visiting from Photo Friday. What a fun, interesting blog you have! I love the blog name too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by Pam. I'm glad you enjoyed the flowers =)
DeleteOh wow! I would have never guess that they were that tiny! I know that if I were out on that walk, I would have totally and completely missed the beauty. So lovely! Thank you for guest posting and thank you for sharing such amazing wonder with us at Photo Friday!
ReplyDeleteYes, our spring wildflowers remind me every year just how much I'll miss if I don't stop and take a closer look. Thank you so much for the opportunity to share my photos with your readers!
DeleteWonderful an great shots.

Greetings from Germany
Thank you Jutta. I'm not sure I understand how the challenge works but I'll be sure to take another look.
DeleteWow Stella Lee...they really are tiny! You got some beautiful shots!
ReplyDeleteAren't they just? When I first came and I heard everyone raving about the amazing flowers I expected to see fields of bright flowers, but it's not the case at all.
DeleteI was blown away by the gorgeous wild flowers....I live in Australia and never been to see them....a must for my bucket list!

If you ever have an opportunity to wander the old bridal trails in Perth you won't be disappointed.
DeleteThanks, Stella for opening my eyes to all the beauty that I would have just stepped right over! or on!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! God's creation is marvelous.
It's easy to miss those tiny beauties, I'm sure I've stepped on a few myself.
DeleteI always love looking at your photographs on Fridays. You have such an artistic eye :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha, at least someone thinks so! Thank you =)
DeleteBeautiful collection of flowers
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up
Thanks for hosting such great linky.
Deletewonderful photos. i love the secrecy of australian wildflowers. they hide away and you have to look hard at times but it is really worth the effort.
ReplyDeleteIt truly is worth hunting them down. It's like discovering another world.
DeleteBeautiful photos looks like a lovely place, Clio lending a helping hand for Coombe Mill
ReplyDeleteThank you =)
DeleteWow they are so tiny but beautiful & delicate. It looks like a lovely place to visit xx
ReplyDeleteAnd there are hundreds of varieties.
DeleteGreat shots! The fringe lily is stunning.
ReplyDeleteI found it super-extra-interesting to look at these. I live in central Florida, where many Australian plants have been introduced (and some have become invasive). Although they're different species, there are many wildflowers around the area that resemble a few of these. My favorite was the Sundew, because there's one in my yard that looks exactly like it - but it grows to four feet tall!
I want to see your giant four foot flower!
