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.

Ok so now you've piqued my curiosity so much so that I googled S.O.Y. and found nothing but soy food. Ok do tell what does it mean, I am going crazy here!! I can't even enjoy the pictures till I know!
ReplyDeleteUmm, it's illustrated in the next shot all over the log...let me know if you still don't get it.
DeleteOK... I'm a little slow.. not enough coffee!! Hahaha!
DeleteIt's not like it's an acronym in common use :o)
DeleteI'm with Mary K, but I have an idea... S.O.Y. Is it really what I'm thinking, or am I bad? If it's what I'm thinking, then that's a funny sign :)
ReplyDeleteIt's totally what you are thinking! LOL
Deletelol if it's what Jenny is thinking that is too hilarious!! Also sea gulls are dangerous, never give up and will follow you everywhere begging!
ReplyDeleteNever underestimate the persuasiveness of pester power!
DeleteIs that a real sign? I have to know this.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely a real sign! I took this shot when we last ate at Cicerello's, in Fremantle.
Deletehaving grown up in fl on the west coast i wish i had made this sign and carried it to the beach every time we went, the tourists would feed the bird and then all of a sudden there seem like hundreds of them soying all over, i have had them steal hot dogs right off the grill, the dirty birds lol xx
ReplyDeletePigeons of the sea! Sneaky little thief's both of them.
DeleteOh yeah! Here in Fl they do the same at the beach!! Natives know better than to feed them!! Funny sign! But on so true!!
ReplyDeleteThe restaurant is such a major tourist destination, so I guess it doesn't occur to most of them what the dangers of sharing their meals entail.
DeleteGreat captures (and great sign, too)!
ReplyDeleteThey have newer versions of the same sign up, but I really liked this older one.
DeleteAgree with this ... one time the boys dropped a chip at the beach and about 20 gulls descended on us to try and grab said chip. It was really quite scary.
