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 hope you'll join us and link up at this week's photo party at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/. It opens as Tuesday dawns "down under" and remains open all week long!
I didn't even realise there were different varieties of Turtle Dove; how lovely to have them so close :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty bird.
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to own a nest. I dont know why. I just find it so organic, fragile and strong at the same time. #mysundayphoto
ReplyDeleteHi Stella, I almost don't want to type this comment for fear of disturbing her. She looks so settled on her nest and how lucky you are to be close enough to be able to observe the goings on once the chicks have hatched.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking at getting another lens for Christmas, but am not really sure what to go for. Your 150mm lens shot definitely has the edge.
