Granny Square patterns make the best crochet projects. The Two Tone Crochet Granny Square uses a crochet linen stitch that creates a nicely dense pattern. The tightly crocheted stitches interlock into alternating rows of color and points. This granny square pattern only works with exactly two colors because of the way each round is worked together, but that helps lock in the simplicity and elegance of this design. This free crochet pattern also includes a photo tutorial to guide you through the process of making these gorgeous six inch squares.

(Note: I haven’t finished putting in some of the links I mention but know that some of you want this in time to make Christmas gifts) This is a free pattern for a scarf made up of rectangles joined together and surrounded by a picot-edged border, a fun accessory for anyone who loves Hello Kitty. Each rectangle features either a cute kitty face or a traditional granny square (modified slightly to make it oblong). It is very long. I’ve tried to bold the most information so that you have an idea of how it’s put together, but of course, at some point, I think you should read it all! At the end, I’ve also included links for a pdf of the pattern; it is shorter than these directions here, has fewer photos, more condensed instructions, and fewer explanations. I have already been informed of some errors (wrong stitch total, missing stitches, etc) and have fixed those. I have also tried to fix some spots that others have found confusing. But the pattern probably still contains some errors and confusions; please let me know if you find them. Also, I did not think of this idea/design/motif myself; rather, I saw it as a pattern on Ravelry (which in turn was an adaptation, I believe, from a pattern in a Japanese crochet book), then I also found other versions online. However, when I tried them, I didn’t like the shape of the resulting kitty face nor the fact that the ears were added separately. I also didn’t like how dense the final round around the kitty face was; it didn’t look like a granny square round. So I made up my own pattern, this one here, but it’s based on someone else’s design. OK, then. Here goes… Materials: 5.00mm/US H(8) crochet hook 6.00mm/US J(10) crochet hook Yarn needle Optional but highly recommended: Stitch markers (Alice at futuregirl.com has a tutorial on how to make stitch markers out of paper clips. Quick, easy, and cheap!) Worsted weight yarn for: face (white) outline (your choice; I used grey; red is also very nice) background (your choice; I used bright pink for one scarf, purple for another, and aqua for a third) eyes and whiskers (black) nose (yellow, or light pink if you don’t care about being “authentic”) flower or bow (your choice; I used yellow) granny square colors 1, 2, 3 (I used white, grey, and my background color) (Model made with Caron Simply Soft) Gauge: 4 sc = 1” (2.5 cm), 4-5 rows of sc = 1” (2.5 cm) (if gauge even matters here) Finished Size: Width: about 7” (18 cm) Length: depends on number of squares you use Each granny square*: 5” x 6” (13 cm x 16 cm) Face appliqué only: 3¼” x 4” (8 cm x 11 cm) *The finished “square” is actually not. But who’s ever heard of a Granny Rectangle? So I’m just going to call them as squares throughout. Abbreviations: Most of these abbreviations are standard. The ones I made up are shown in bold. beg = beginning BLO = back loop only (instead of inserting hook under both loops of a stitch, insert hook under the back loop only; more, with photos, here) ch = chain (yarn over, pull up a loop through loop on hook) dc = double crochet (equivalent to UK treble crochet; yarn over, insert hook in next st, yarn over, pull up a loop, {yarn over, pull through two loops} twice) hdc = half double crochet (equivalent to UK half treble crochet; yarn over, insert hook in next st, yarn over, pull through all three loops on hook) R = row or round sc = single crochet (equivalent to UK double crochet; insert hook in next st, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, and pull through both loops on hook) sc x N = single crochet in next N stitches, where N is some number sl st = slip stitch (insert hook in next st, yarn over, and pull through work as well as remaining loop(s) on hook) sp = space st(s) = stitch(es) tc = treble (or triple) crochet (equivalent to UK double treble; yarn over twice, insert hook in next st, yarn over, pull up a loop, {yarn over, pull though two loops} three times) V = 2 single crochets in next stitch V x N = 2 single crochets each in next N stitches, where N is some number W = 3 single crochets in next stitch yo = yarn over Special Stitches & Techniques: DOUBLE = skip 4 st, 3 dc in next st (for face square) or skip 3 dc st from prev rnd , 3 dc in next ch sp (for granny square) EAR = sl st in next st, hdc in next st, ch 1, dc in same st as hdc, ch 1, tc in next st, ch 1, dc in next st, ch 1, hdc in same st as dc, sl st in next st fsc = foundation single crochet. A year ago, I’d never heard of this stitch. Now it’s my favorite way to start. In this case of only 4 starting stitches, it doesn’t make that big a difference, so if you’d rather not learn it right now, I’ve provided an alternate method. But on pieces that start with longer chains, I find fsc so much easier, faster, nicer. Essentially, each fsc stitch is made of up a “chain” part and a “stitch” part. So you get your starting chain and your first row at the same time! Do an online search for “foundation single crochet” for more info, tutorials, videos… Here’s a great fsc tutorial with photos to get you started, from Alice at futuregirl.com magic ring = an alternate beginning method when crocheting in the round, which allows one to avoid having a hole left at the center start. Essentially, instead of slip stitching a short chain to make a ring, you make a ring by looping the yarn around your fingers. Need some photos and more instructions? Here’s a great magic ring tutorial by June that includes a comparison picture (“normal” way with hole and “magic ring” way without hole), but her tutorial uses single crochet around the ring. Here’s another great magic ring tutorial by Donna which doesn’t have the comparison picture but does use double crochet which is what we need for the granny squares. JSS = joining slip stitch. Another great technique, this is for joining granny squares as you go instead of stitching them all together at the end. I first saw this technique beautifully explained by Lucy at attic24. Essentially, you substitute a slip stitch for a chain stitch along sides you want to join, inserting your hook into the corresponding chain space of another square before completing the slip stitch. For the scarf, always join along the longer edge of the square. I’ve given detailed steps with photos in the Join As You Go section below. picot = sc, ch3, sl st in 1st ch or sl st, ch 3, sl st in same st or whatever picot stitch you prefer TRIPLE = skip 4 st, 3 tc in next st (for face square) or skip 3 tc st from prev rnd , 3 tc in next ch sp (for granny square) Setup & Planning This pattern is for a crocheted Hello Kitty Granny Square Scarf as shown above – a scarf with a Hello Kitty Granny Square at each end and seven regular granny squares in between (four with white at the center, three with grey). The scarf, intended for a 5-year-old girl, ended up about 45” long. If you want to make it longer or change the pattern of the squares, here’s what I can suggest: Figure out how many squares you need by dividing your desired finished scarf length by 5” (12.75cm) and rounding to nearest whole number. Decide how many face squares you want to include, then figure how many granny squares you need to reach your total. Also, decide on the pattern or order in which to attach the squares. Note: I made this scarf by joining the squares as I crocheted the last round of each square and that’s how I’ll describe the steps. First I’ll give the patterns for how to make the kitty faces and the first three rounds of the granny squares. Then I’ll give the stitch instructions for completing the kitty face squares and granny squares, joining them to previous squares as you go. (If you’d rather, you can complete each square as if it’s the first, then whipstitch or crochet them together at the end.) Next, I’ll give the instructions for the scarf border. And finally, I’ll give the instructions for adding the embroidered facial features and crocheting the ear accessory. Kitty Faces You’ll need to make one for each Hello Kitty Granny Square in your scarf. I’m making two per scarf. I used my own shorthand for writing these directions. Example: R5: ch1, turn, sc x 2, V, sc x 6, V, sc… means that after you chain 1 and turn, you make 1 single crochet in the next 2 stitches (sc x 2), then make 2 single crochets in the next stitch (V), followed by one single crochet in the next 6 stitches (sc x 6), and again 2 sc in the next stitch(V), followed by 1 single crochet in the next stitch (sc), etc. If you would prefer to use conventional crochet pattern terminology, here’s the pattern using abbreviations and here’s the pattern using full text. Notes: Stitch count is shown at end of each line. Ex. “—18 sts.” Do not count the ch1 at the start of each round as a stitch. Do count the sl st at the end of each row as a stitch. (So, the sl st at end of current round becomes the “first stitch” to use in next round.) Start with face color yarn(white) and 5.00mm hook: R1: 4 fsc (or alternate method: ch5, sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in remaining 3 ch) —4 sts. R2: ch1, turn, V (in top of fsc closest to hook), sc in next 2 sts, V (in top of last fsc), V (in bottom of last fsc), 3 sc in bottoms of next 3 fsc, sl st to 1st sc of current round —12 sts. R3: ch1, turn, sc, V, sc x 2, V x 3, sc x 4, V, sl st to 1st sc of current round —18 sts. R4: ch1, turn, sc, V, sc x 6, V x 3, sc x 6, V, sl st to 1st sc of current round —24 sts. R5: ch1, turn, sc x 2, V, sc x 6, V, sc, V, sc, V, sc x 8, V, sc, sl st to 1st sc of current round —30 sts. R6: ch1, turn, sc x 3, V, sc x 8, V, sc, V, sc x 2, V, sc x 10, V, sc, sl st to 1st sc of current round —36 sts. R7: ch1, turn, sc x 3, V, sc x 10, V, sc x 2, V, sc x 2, ear, sc x 4, ear, sc x 2, switch yarn to outline color (grey), sl st to 1st sc of current round (pulling the new color through) —52 st. Continuing with outline color (grey): R8: ch1, turn, sc x 3, skip sl st, sc x 4, W (mark middle/2nd stitch), sc x 4, skip sl st, sc x 4, skip sl st, sc x 4, W, sc x 4, skip sl st, sc x 2, V, sc x 2, V, sc x 14, V, sc x 2, sl st to 1st sc of current round; bind off —56 st. Granny Square Centers Time to make the other squares for the scarf, the ones that looks like regular Granny Squares. Only thing: they’ve been altered slightly to make them into rectangles instead of squares so that they’ll match the finished shape of the Hello Kitty Granny Squares. Make as many as you need for your scarf. I’m making at least 7 per scarf, 4 starting with white and 3 with grey. In a nutshell, along two sides opposite each other, I substituted triple crochets for the double crochets (see photo below). So if you already know how to granny square, grab a 6.00mm hook and have at it, making the necessary stitch changes on two sides. Otherwise, here’s the pattern for the slightly altered granny squares. By the way, here’s a video by Beth showing how to change color and draw in your starting tail on granny squares and here’s a video by Anne showing how to weave in your ending tails on granny squares. Start with Color 1 (white/grey) yarn and 6.00mm hook: Start: use a magic ring (or alternate method: ch 6, or 5 or 4…, sl st to starting ch to join into a ring). R1: ch 3 (counts as 1 dc st, here and throughout), 2 dc in ring, ch 2, 3 tc in ring, ch 2, 3 dc in ring, ch2, 3 tc in ring, ch 2 (this makes the 4th corner), sl st to top chain of beg ch-3. Bind off. Switch to Color 2 (background color: pink, purple, aqua) yarn. R2: Insert hook into the 4th corner ch-2 sp, yo (with new color) and pull a loop through, ch3, 2 dc in same sp, {ch1, DOUBLE,} ch 2, 3 tc in same sp, {ch 1, TRIPLE,} ch2, 3 dc in same sp, {ch 1, DOUBLE,} ch 2, 3 tc in same sp, {ch 1, TRIPLE,} ch2, sl st to top chain of beg ch-3. Bind off. Switch to Color 3 (grey/white) yarn. R3: Same as R2, except do parts in {} brackets twice. Bind off.(Optional: mark the 4th corner so you can easily see which corner to start at later.) By the way, here’s a video by Beth showing how to change color and draw in your starting tail on granny squares and here’s a video by Anne showing how to weave in your ending tails on granny squares. Last Rounds Your squares – kitty and granny – should all be almost done now, just waiting for their last round(s). For this part, first decide on the order in which you’ll be attaching the squares to form the scarf. Next, finish your first square separately. (Or if you don’t want to “join as you go”, then finish all your squares separately, using the following two patterns. Then whipstitch/stitch/sc them together.) * * * Here is the pattern to finish a stand-alone Hello Kitty Granny Square (as shown below). Start with background color yarn (pink), 5.00mm hook and a Hello Kitty face: R9: Turn/Hold face so marked ear is on the right if you’re right-handed, on the left if you’re left-handed. Starting at tip of ear, put hook through middle (marked) st of W in previous round, yo and pull loop through, ch 1, sc in same st, sc x 5, skip 1 st, sc x 2, skip 1 st, sc x 5, W, sc x 13, V, sc x 12, V, sc x 14 (14th sc is in same st as 1st sc of current round), sl st to 1st sc of current round —60 st. (If you prefer to use conventional crochet pattern terminology, abbreviated version is here and full text is here.) Switch to larger 6.00mm hook. R10: Don’t turn. Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc st), 2 dc in sl st from previous round, ch1, TRIPLE, ch1, TRIPLE, ch1, DOUBLE, ch 2, 3 tc in same st, ch1, DOUBLE, ch1, DOUBLE, ch1, TRIPLE, ch2, 3 tc in same st, ch1, DOUBLE, ch1, DOUBLE, ch1, TRIPLE, ch 2, 3 tc in same st, ch1, DOUBLE, ch1, DOUBLE, ch1, TRIPLE, ch 2, sl st to top chain of beg ch-3; bind off —68 st. * * * Here is the pattern to finish a stand-alone regular Granny Square. (photo coming soon…) Start with background color yarn (pink), 6.00mm hook and a Granny Square Center: R4: Insert hook into the (marked) 4th corner ch-2 sp, yo (with new color) and pull a loop through, ch3, 2 dc in same sp, {ch1, DOUBLE} 3 times, ch 2, 3 tc in same sp, {ch 1, TRIPLE} 3 times, ch2, 3 dc in same sp, {ch 1, DOUBLE} 3 times, ch 2, 3 tc in same sp, {ch 1, TRIPLE} 3 times, ch2, sl st to top chain of beg ch-3. Bind off. * * * Next, finish the remaining squares, joining one edge to a previous square as you go by substituting joining slip stitches for chain along that edge. Photo tutorial down at the end. * * * If your next square is a regular granny square, here are the directions for adding the last round and joining as you go. Start with background color yarn (pink), 6.00mm hook and a Granny Square Center: Round 4: Insert hook into a (marked) 4th corner ch-2 sp, yo (with new color) and pull a loop through, ch3 (counts as dc), 2 dc in same sp, {ch1, DOUBLE} 3 times, ch 2, 3 tc in same sp, {ch 1, TRIPLE} 3 times, JSS, ch 1, 3 dc in same sp, {JSS, DOUBLE} 3 times, ch 1, JSS, 3 tc in same sp, {ch 1, TRIPLE} 3 times, ch2, sl st to top chain of beg ch-3. Bind off. * * * If your next square is a Hello Kitty with the joining edge at the bottom, i.e. under her chin, below are the directions for the last two rounds and joining as you go. (photo coming soon) Start with background color yarn (pink), 5.00mm hook and a Hello Kitty face: R9: Turn/Hold face so marked ear is on the right if you’re right-handed, on the left if you’re left-handed. Starting at tip of ear, put hook through middle (marked) st of W in previous round, yo and pull loop through, ch 1, sc in same st, sc x 5, skip 1 st, sc x 2, skip 1 st, sc x 5, W, sc x 13, V, sc x 12, V, sc x 14 (14th sc is in same st as 1st sc of current round), sl st to 1st sc of current round —60 st. (If you prefer to use conventional crochet pattern terminology, abbreviated version is here and full text is here.) Switch to larger 6.00mm hook. R10: Don’t turn. Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc st), 2 dc in sl st from previous round, ch1, TRIPLE, ch1, TRIPLE, ch1, DOUBLE, ch 2, 3 tc in same st, ch1, DOUBLE, ch1, DOUBLE, ch1, TRIPLE, JSS, ch1, 3 tc in same st, JSS, DOUBLE, JSS, DOUBLE, JSS, TRIPLE, ch1, JSS, 3 tc in same st, ch1, DOUBLE, ch1, DOUBLE, ch1, TRIPLE, ch2, sl st to top chain of beg ch-3; bind off —68 st. * * * And if your next square is a Hello Kitty with the joining edge at the top, i.e. above the ears, below are those directions. (photo coming soon) Start with background color yarn (pink), 5.00mm hook and a Hello Kitty face: R9: Turn/Hold face so marked ear is on the right if you’re right-handed, on the left if you’re left-handed. Starting at tip of ear, put hook through middle (marked) st of W in previous round, yo and pull loop through, ch 1, sc in same st, sc x 5, skip 1 st, sc x 2, skip 1 st, sc x 5, W, sc x 13, V, sc x 12, V, sc x 14 (14th sc is in same st as 1st sc of current round), sl st to 1st sc of current round —60 st. (If you prefer to use conventional crochet pattern terminology, abbreviated version is here and full text is here.) Switch to larger 6.00mm hook. R10: Don’t turn. Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc st), 2 dc in sl st from previous round, JSS, TRIPLE, JSS, TRIPLE, JSS, DOUBLE, ch1, JSS, 3 tc in same st, ch1, DOUBLE, ch1, DOUBLE, ch1, TRIPLE, ch2, 3 tc in same st, ch1, DOUBLE, ch1, DOUBLE, ch1, TRIPLE, ch2, 3 tc in same st, ch1, DOUBLE, ch1, DOUBLE, ch1, TRIPLE, JSS, ch1, sl st to top chain of beg ch-3; bind off —68 st. Picot Border With the squares all attached together, next step is to finish the edges and add some structure to the scarf by adding a border. Notes: For the picot round, R3, you will be doing a series of {sc, sc, picot} sets except at the corners where there should be a picot in the stitch before the corner st, then 3 sc in the corner st, then a picot in the stitch after the corner st. So, depending on where you start along an edge, you may need to add a picot or a sc, picot before starting your first full set of {sc, sc, picot}. Also, if the number of stitches between the two corner stitches along an edge: is evenly divisible by 3, then add an extra sc into two of the {sc, sc picot} sets somewhere along the edge; has a remainder of 1, then no extra sc are needed; has a remainder of 2, add an extra sc into one of the {sc, sc, picot} sets. * * * Easy way (but I didn’t like how the border dipped in slightly at every spot where two squares joined): Start with background color (pink), 6.00mm hook (I think, or maybe I used the 5.00mm one…) and joined squares: R1: sc all the way around the scarf, doing 3 sc in each ch-2 sp corner, sl st to 1st sc of current round. R2: ch 1, turn, sc all the way around the scarf, doing 3 sc at each corner, sl st to 1st sc of current round. R3: ch 1, turn. Including the exceptions and additions as explained in picot note above, {sc, sc, picot} all the way around, doing 3 sc at each corner, sl st to 1st sc of current round * * * Slightly more complex way (that gives a smoother/straighter border because of the increased stitch heights at every spot where two squares join; see photo below) Start with background color (pink), 6.00mm hook (I think, or maybe I used the 5.00mm one…) and joined squares: R1: Starting with 1 sc in the ch-2 sp at a corner heading toward a short edge, sc all along the short edge, 3 sc in the ch 2 corner space, 15 sc, {hdc, dc, hdc, 14 sc*}, repeat {} until you reach next corner, 3 sc in the ch 2 corner space, sc along the short edge, 3 sc in the ch 2 corner sp, 15 sc, {hdc, dc, hdc, 14 sc*}, repeat {} until you reach the corner, 1 sc in ch2 corner sp, sl st to 1st sc of current round. *You might have to do fewer or more sc, depending on how you joined your squares. R2: ch 1, turn, sc all the way around, doing 3 sc at each corner, sl st to 1st sc of current round. R3: ch 1, turn. Adding extra sc if needed as explained in picot note above, {sc, sc, picot} all the way along, doing 3 sc at each corner, sl st to 1st sc of current round. Bind off. Finishing Weave in all ends and block the scarf. (If you’ve never blocked before, Rachel at crochetspot has some good info to get you started.) Then add the facial features and accessories and you’re done! * * * One of the keys to really making this look like Hello Kitty is correct placement of eyes, nose, and whiskers. Hopefully the gridlines on the image below are helpful. The eyes are really low, in the bottom half of her face, each about ¼ of the way in from the sides. And her nose is even lower, about ¼ of the way from the bottom edge. So, using black yarn in a yarn needle, embroider eyes and whiskers. Embroider nose using yellow yarn. In order to make a face on both sides, I made the eyes and nose by putting 3-4 stitches on top of each other, allowing two of the stitches to curve outward to create the oval shape and then tying each one off individually and trying to hide the knot under the stitches on the “back” side. For the whiskers, I did one long stitch for each, tied a knot on the “back” side, slid the knot as far to the outside as I could, i.e. off of her face, onto the outline, and then dabbed some FrayCheck/fabric glue onto the knot before cutting the tails off really short. I will warn you – this was the hardest part for me and at least one other person: getting the eyes to be the same size and evenly aligned, getting the “back” to look at least half-way decent, hiding the knots on the back… I pulled out all my work and started over a number of times. But it is possible. I’ll take pictures of the next face I do. * * * Now for the flower for her ear… With flower color yarn (yellow): R1: Start with magic ring (or alternate method: ch 4-6 and join into ring with sl st), ch 1 (does not count as st), 5 sc into magic ring (or plain chain ring), sl st to 1st sc (counts as a st). R2: {sl st, ch 3, sl st} in BLO of each st. [6 petals]. After last sl st, cut yarn, pull through and tie to starting tail. Sew onto Hello Kitty face near right ear using white yarn so stitches don’t show on the other side. (For a one-sided application, I would have just used one of the yarn tails.) * * * I tried two bows and didn’t like either one. But they can’t be that hard to make. Any ideas? : ) Join As You Go As mentioned earlier, this pattern joins the squares as they’re finished, not after the fact. Essentially, you substitute a slip stitch for a chain stitch along sides you want to join, inserting your hook into the corresponding chain space of another square before completing the slip stitch. For the scarf, always join along the longer edge of the square. The photos below show joining along the third edge; if you’re attaching a Hello Kitty square along its top edge, you will have to join right away along the first edge. In that case, do steps 6-16, then loop back to the beginning. Here’s a photo tutorial of how I did that: 1. Finish last 3 tc shell of current edge. Match up current square to previous square. 2. Insert hook, front to back, through ch 2 space at corner of previous square. 3. Yarn over… 4. …and pull loop through to create joining slip stitch. 5. Chain 1 to finish corner (not shown in photos). 6. Crochet first dc shell of current edge. 7. Insert hook, front to back, through next ch 1 space on previous square. 8. Yarn over… 9. …and pull loop through to create joining slip stitch. 10. Crochet next dc shell. 11. Repeat 7-10 until you reach ch 2 space at next corner. 12. Chain 1 to finish edge/start corner (not shown in photos). 13. Insert hook, front to back, through ch 2 space at corner. 14. Yarn over… 15. …and pull loop through to create joining slip stitch. 16. Continue around remaining edges, starting with a tc shell in the ch 2 corner space. Finished Edge, joined as you went! PDFs of pattern If you want a shorter version to print out, here it is.

Eén van mijn lievelings blijft toch het haken van granny squares. Als ik weer eens een bak vol restjes heb dan worden het heel vaak granny squares. Vaak zelfs zonder dat ik vooraf weet wat ik er mee ga maken, ook deze keer... Ik ging met mijn restjes 'Cosy fine' van Durable aan de slag en koos gewoon voor de 'normale' granny square. Al hakende werd het een gilet... En wauw, wat een leuke reacties kreeg ik op het resultaat toen ik het #grannysquaregilet op de social media kanalen poste! Ik liep nog wel zo te klungelen om het een beetje op de foto te krijgen, haha. Maar, blijkbaar zagen jullie genoeg van het gilet om het leuk te vinden, ik kreeg namelijk veelvuldig de vraag of ik een patroon had of wilde maken... Nou bij deze! Eén klein probleempje alleen, ik had namelijk niet meegeschreven tijdens het m(h)aken. Stap voor stap heb ik geprobeerd het te beschrijven voor je. Deze blog is dan ook meer een werkbeschrijving dan een patroon geworden. Het is ook niet in een maat o.i.d. uitgeschreven. Maar, het komt vast goed, meten is weten is vooral het motto hier als je wilt weten of het voor jou de juiste maat is. Zo maak je het toffe "Granny square gilet': Wat heb je nodig? Ik nam een duik in mijn restjesbak en verzamelde mijn restjes en aangebroken bolletjes 'Cosy Fine' van Durable. Voor het gilet heb je (ongeveer) 300 gram nodig aan garen als je hem m(h)aakt volgens deze beschrijving. Haaknaald 4.5 Schaar Stopnaald Welke steken worden er gebruikt? Losse (open rondje in patroon) Halve vaste (dicht rondje in patroon) Stokje Hoeveel granny squares moet je m(h)aken? Achterpand; 9 Linker voorpand; 3 Rechter voorpand; 3 Schouders; 2 Zijkant links; 2 Zijkant rechts; 2 Totaal; 21 granny squares van 5 toeren. Andere belangrijke dingen om te weten; Wil je het gilet aanpassen naar een andere maat? Haak dan meer of minder toeren bij je granny squares! Je kan ook nog een beetje spelen met de granny stripe rand rondom. De maat van 1 granny square van 5 toeren is ongeveer 13 cm. Dan kan je nu aan de slag! Zo m(h)aak je het gilet: Haak een granny square van 5 toeren volgens het patroon hieronder. Ik gebruikte 5 verschillende kleuren per granny square. Copyright | Alleen voor persoonlijk gebruik. Niets uit deze uitgave mag worden doorverkocht of voor wederverkoop worden Vanaf de 2de granny square ga je de vierkanten aan elkaar haken. Hierbij vervang je in toer 5 de losse voor een halve vaste. Deze haak je om de losse van de opening waar je je vierkantje aan vast wilt haken. Op de hoeken, haak je een halve vaste, losse en halve vaste om de lossenopening (3 lossen) van de andere granny square. Haak volgens de tekening de granny's aan elkaar. Copyright | Alleen voor persoonlijk gebruik. Niets uit deze uitgave mag worden doorverkocht of voor wederverkoop worden De granny squares die aan de zijkant komen haak je zowel aan het achterpand als aan het voorpand. Wanneer je alle granny squares aan elkaar hebt gehaakt, haak je rondom met een granny stripe. Hecht daarvoor aan op een hoek van een voorpand, op beide hoeken van de voorpanden haak je 3 stokjes, 3 lossen 3 stokjes. In iedere andere lossenopening haak je 3 stokjes en tussen deze groepjes haak je ook iedere keer weer een losse. Waar je de granny squares aan elkaar hebt gekoppeld in de 3-lossenopeningen haak je in de halve vaste een groepje van 3 stokjes. Haak nog 2 toeren granny stripe rondom. Let op! In de 2de toer haakte ik bij de middelste granny square van het achterpand geen losse tussen de 2 groepjes van 3 stokjes (hoeken). In de 3de toer wel weer. Haak rondom een toer vasten, op ieder stokje en ook in iedere lossenopening. Haak bij de armsgaten ook rondom vasten langs alle steken van de granny squares. Hecht alle draadjes af en je #grannybohostylegilet kan aan! Ik ben super benieuwd hoe jou #grannysquaregilet gaat worden, wens je heel veel m(h)aak plezier!

ARE YOU READY FOR THIS ???? SURE YOU ARE !!! I now that!!!! ;oD So during this last week I was showing you via Instagram (see my personal feed) some colourful pictures about my new crochet w.i.p. , which I completed last night ... ... so this morning, before school/office time a couple of boys helped me with the last photos for this blog post ... TA-DAH ... The beauty of this project resides in the fact that is adaptable to any extent, any kind of yarn and any corner of your home (in or out!) !!! The inspiration and "creative kick" derives from two other projects I've seen around : The Chain Statement Necklace by my dear friend Miki from Set Free My Gypsy Soul and Peggy's Comfy Indoors Blanket by Pip Lincoln from Meet Me at Mike's !!! Thank you both, girls !!! It has been a long time since I've been wanting to crochet (or even knit !) a paper chain ... I made some long paper chains for our Christmas tree back in Indonesia but I always thought that something made out of yarn will be more durable, right ? So here I am with this colourful project, which I'm going to share with you RIGHT NOW !!! WHAT YOU NEED : some colourful yarn : I was using some DK acrylics from my personal stash (there is no need to buy new yarn!) and I could do my chain way longer than I did, but other projects are on the way, so... a 4mm hook a pair of scissors a yarn needle Please remember that I follow the US crochet terminology, thank you ! Be aware that my turning chain is made of 2 chains and not 3, even though working with double crochets (= DC) ! Notice that this turning chain is never considered as a proper stitch, too ! We are going to crochet a lots of granny rectangles. If you never did one before or your memory is simply a little bit rusty, I suggest you to look at some videos on YouTube, like How to crochet a GRANNY RECTANGLE by Bella Coco or How to crochet a granny rectangle by Yolanda Soto Lopez .... there are a lot more !!!! ;oD Pattern for the GRANNY RECTANGLE My chain is made of 24 rectangles or links. Each rectangle is worked in 3 rounds and every round is crocheted in a different colour. I prefer to weave in ends all the time one round is completed, to avoid too many tails at the end of the work !!! The picture above shows you a complete rectangle I'm giving you the pattern to crochet. Useful if you prefer to sew your rectangles together, but ... I prefer to use the join-as-you-go method, so my rectangles, instead, are never totally done, as I complete each of them while joining to the previous link : no worries, I'm going to show you how!!! first round : choose your first colour and make a slip knot on your hook. Chain 30+2 (= my turning chain!), wrap yarn around hook and push it in 3rd chain from hook : work your first DC. In the same chain, work other 2 DCs, so that you will have your first shell (in above chart : extreme right, you can see a small horizontal shell with a A .... sorry for the quality of my drawing!). Now chain 2, then work the first shell (1) of the long side and chain 1. Skip two chains and in 3rd chain work the new shell and chain 1. Repeat this pattern until you reach 10 shells ( you are in the second last chain of your foundation chain)! After this shell, chain 2 and work shell B in last chain. Chain 2, s you can start to crochet the second long side of your rectangle, working your 10 shells at the base of the previous shells and remembering to space them with a chain-1 space ! When shell 10 is completed, chain 2 and slip stitch in the top of first DC made. Slip stitch even in the tops of the following 2 DCs and in the corner! Cut yarn and fasten off. second round : choose a new colour and, in the same corner you have completed your first round, add the new yarn (insert front to back your hook in corner, pull new yarn from back to front, wrap yarn around hook and pull it trough the loop!), chain 1 and crochet 3 DCS, chain 2, 3 DCs in this first corner. Chain 1, (3 DCs in chain-1 space + chain 1) 9 times. In second and third corner : 3 DCs, chain 2, 3 DCS and chain 1. Along the other long side : (3 DCS in chain-1 space + chain 1) 9 times. In fourth corner : 3 DCs, chain 2, 3 DCs. Chain 1 and slip stitch in top of first DC made. Slip stitch even in the tops of the following 2 DCs and in the first corner! Cut yarn and fasten off. third round : choose the last colour and join it as done for the second round ! After the joining, chain 1 and crochet 3 DCS, chain 2, 3 DCS in this first corner. Chain 1, (3 DCs in chain-1 space + chain 1) 10 times. In second corner : 3 DCs, chain 2, 3 DCs and chain 1. Work 1 shell in next chain-1 space and chain 1. In third corner : 3 DCs. chain 2, 3 DCS and chain 1. Along the other long side : (3 DCs in chain-1 space + chain 1) 10 times. In fourth corner : 3 DCs, chain 2, 3 DCs and chain 1. In next chain-1 space crochet a shell + chain 1. Slip stitch in top of first DC made. Slip stitch even in the tops of the following 2 DCs and into the first corner ! Cut yarn and fasten off. This is the full pattern of a granny rectangle made of 3 rounds. Honestly, I stop mine (see above picture) when half fourth corner (3 DCs + chain 1) is done ... In this way I can use the join-as-you-go method to join the short sides of my rectangle (s) to form a link (s) for my granny yarn chain ! Wanna see how ? The JOIN-AS-YOU-GO METHOD to make links We need to have links for our chain, right ? Nice, right ??? But how to do that??? Very simply !!! When you have a rectangle almost done (just started half fourth corner of third round), you need to fold it in half (back sides facing each other) and make pass the short side completed, from bottom to top, inside a previous link already joined ... ... and be sure to have the rectangle and the link in the right position, as follows ... ... with the completed side of your rectangle at the top and the uncompleted side at the bottom ! Let's start the joining !!! Insert the tip of your hook in the corner at the top (see above picture, left), wrap yarn and and pull it to the front, through the loop formed by last chain 1 : slip stitch done (joining officially started!)! You can complete the 4th corner of your rectangle ... ... by working 3 DCs in that corner, as usual (see above pic) ! Then ... ... slip stitch in above chain-1 space (it replaces the chain 1) (see above pic) and work a new shell in next chain-1 space (see below pic) ... .... and, again, slip stitch in the above chain-1 space, as did previously ... Now : slip stitch in top of first DC made at the beginning of round 3 of your rectangle ... ... and slip stitch in tops of following 2 DCs and in corner, too !! Hope you can see this in the below pic ... To complete the joining, just slip stitch in the top corner ... Joining done !!!!! DON'T CUT ANY YARN !!!! We have to finish off the link properly ! In order to do that, simply turn your work from left to right of 90 degrees ... ... and work a single crochet (= SC) in the first corner at the left of the joining line. You have to work 3 SCs into the tops of each shell and 1 SC in each chain-1 space and corner! When the round is completed (last SC in corner adjacent joining line), slip stitch in first SC done, cut yarn, fasten off and weave in ends. If you look closely at the above picture, you can notice how much neater looks the bottom line in comparison with the top one, not yet "single crocheted" !!!! ;oD So, repeat the same procedure even for the bottom of your link : make a slip knot on your hook, insert it in the top corner at the left of the joined line and work your first SC. Crochet the same pattern, but this time, when ending the round, slip stitch in the 2nd SC you made !!! Cut yarn, fasten off and weave in all the ends !!! LINK DONE !!!!! Go on the same way for all the other ones !!!! ;oD PLEASE, NOTE that even your absolute first link is joined in the same way !!! The only difference is that you don't have to connect it to any link! It will be, instead, the first link to insert in the second one you will make !!!! Nothing difficult and really addictive !!! ... and some more ... .... Maybe with a softer yarn and a couple of tassels it would be nice as a scarf, too .... Have a lovely weekend !!!! xxxx Alessandra ... if you like more photo tutorials/patterns to try, just click HERE and ... have a lot of fun !!!
Sophie's Garden Spring cleaning I came upon UFOs. Grannies in rainbow colors. The thing is that I have designed a granny square that still hasn't seen the light of day for maybe a year now. Why? Because I wanted to make a baby blanket with it, but with all the things I want to do and try my hand at, I simply don't have time for it. So sad. But I am sure you all have piles of unfinished projects (?), so that's my comforting thought for now; knowing that I am not alone in this :) Granny squares being my oldest and deepest love hold a special place in my creative world and today I am sharing a roundup of adorable granny / mandala squares I have found and would very much like to try. Mandalas are quite a crazy in the crochet community - have you noticed? Now you have some free to enjoy and make yourselves! The Pondoland Square" The De Rust Square Starflower Mandala Square
