I think I've been growing old enough (not a granny yet!) to patiently crochet granny squares now! I'd say I love it! When the Stitch Studio Storybook lullaby yarns were on sale at A.C. Moore, I bought dozen of them - every single color! They've been sitting in the closet for a while and I was thinking how to get rid of them. I used them to make amigurumi dolls but I still couldn't finish them. Suddenly granny square just popped up in my mind and I made two beautiful cushions with these yarns! The small cushion is 12"x16" which is a perfect size for me and the square one is 16"x16" (16 squares in total, huh!). They're bought at Walmart under $3 each! Great deal! So, two cushions were made for my daughters! They of course love them!
Unfortunately, they're made by freehand so I don't have a pattern. After I posted it on Facebook, so many people were asking for a pattern. Sorry ladies, I'm too lazy to write the pattern in words but I drew a diagram of the granny square. Is that ok? For the back, many people asked, what it looks like.....it's nothing! Just double crochet in white yarn with 3 buttons for opening! If you'd prefer, you can double the number of squares so that both sides look the same. Therefore, the buttons would be at the edge.
This is how I block the squares by using an empty Kleenex Tissue Box. Stick 4 bamboo sticks inside the box and through the bottom!
Have you got a written pattern for this?
ReplyDeleteHow did you join the granny squares in the turquoise pillow? I really like how the corners have the white circles. So pretty but I need more details! đ
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice if the creator actually answered a question
ReplyDeleteThe pattern is very easy to follow, thank you for sharing. For the blue one, we will need to add a row in white, is that right ? And please advise how to connect the squares in the blue cushion . It will be much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThese 3 treble stitches in bule in the pattern are made into a corn stitch. The revers purple arrow is how to do the corn stitiches . Watch any video that helps with corn stitches . Very easy , but unfortunately the pattern did not mention this bit.
