Granny Squares


Granny Squares, originally uploaded by CraftyPease.

Wanted to make a nice cozy afghan as a gift... the only problem is, I had to first learn to crochet and then learn how to do an afghan square pattern. Good thing for the internet!!!!

Thank you for looking!

Even though I just learned how to crochet at the very end of December, I just had to try to learn this pattern!!

Here's the addy if you want to try.

The pattern has a really cool 3D effect to it. It's a nice compliment to all the other flat style granny squares. Going to also have some squares with gray petals and these 3D type squares will will "peppered" all over the afghan.

Had such a fun time making this. it is a lot like making paper. Can't wait to see how it looks "sculpted" into a hat!

Christmas Hat

Hubby bought me the Fisherman's Wool, Natural Brown and I couldn't wait to make a hat.

Knitted the hat and wet felted the flowers all over and then shaped on a bowl.
