The Granny Square Twist

I have a twist to The Granny Square Project!  During the past year as I’ve been making the two squares for each month, I’ve actually been making four squares – two of each.

My initial plan was to make two separate afghans to give to two different people.  But as I worked on it over the year I realized that I wanted to keep the second one for myself as a keepsake because I had made it during my son’s first year.

So now I am blocking the squares for the second afghan.  As soon as I’ve got them all joined and edged I’ll get a picture of them together and finish this project up!

Alternate Squares

Most of the squares were exact duplicates. However, I made alternate squares for some of them by switching up colors or just the order that I used them in.  I love the differences-some of them very subtle, others quite bold!

October – Square Twenty

October – Square Twenty

I saw some squares with the reaching stitches like this, but none that I liked exactly so I wrote the pattern for this square. It’s a very basic granny with long double crochet stitches that reach down to the stitch two rows below.

Orange is generally not a color I would personally crochet in.  In fact I had to go buy a skein-the first I have purchased for this project I believe.  But since this is October’s second square, here you are!

I do have this square available for sale on Ravelry!

Only two more sets of squares left!

October – Square Nineteen

October – Square Nineteen

Oh my gosh is this thing not just adorable!? My sister in particular is going to love this.

The pattern comes from here.  Although the pattern on that page references yet another page for the skull and crossbones applique which is just sewn on with a tail of yarn.  The pattern doesn’t specify the eyes and nose, so I just used my cross stitching experience to make french knots for the eyes and a small stitch for the nose.

I did have to make a slight adjustment to get my square to reach my seven inches and that was doing one more round in black before switching to the white for one row.  Other than that, this pattern was pretty straightforward and simple.  This is definitely one of the cutest squares from this project.
