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.

ReplyDeleteSuch lovely photos, it is like a little insight into their private lives.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, you get amazing detail and so close up
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up
I almost hate to ask this, Stella. Do people eat them? We eat squabs, I just don't know if the word has the same meaning here.
ReplyDeleteAccording to wikipedia: 'In culinary terminology, squab is a young domestic pigeon, typically under four weeks old, or its meat. The meat is widely described as tasting like dark chicken.'
DeleteI would assume that pigeon destined for the food table are appropriately farmed in sustainable ways.
These are young laughing doves and although the term dove and pigeon are often used interchangeably they are different. They both belong to the same family, Columbidae of which there are over 300 species. The young of the Coumbidae family are called squabs.
This particular species would not be found on your dinner table.
Lovely birds!
