September – Square Seventeen
I have finally gotten back to the grannies! This cute little square looks like a maze. It can look so different by reversing the order of the colors or by making it in solids. The pattern for this square can be found here and is really very simple if you are comfortable with post stitches!
I did modify the pattern for myself just a little bit. It called for treble crochet stitches where it wasn’t really necessary, so I only did trebles on the front post stitches. All other stitches I completed as double crochets. I also joined the corners with a double crochet instead of the chain 3 and slip stitch in the pattern. One thing I would do differently if I did it over would be to only do a chain 2 for the corners instead of a chain 3 to tighten things just a little.
So the Granny Square project was supposed to be a 2014 project, but is going to take me well into 2015. There are so many projects that I want to do and just not enough time!
That last sentence could describe my crochet life perfectly! I always have so many projects I want to finish. I am working on a basket right now, but it looks like granny squares might make the list…
