ETA: I made my RU-vid profile picture and cover photo images of the toddler cardigan!🥰 It took 10 squares for a size 18-24month. Looove this pattern and tutorial! So easy and fun once you get it, and quick to work up. I made an adorable cardigan for my toddler out of them using a chunkier velvet/furry yarn and a 5mm hook and I love the way it turned out. My first ever clothing piece!! In two days It took me about 4-5 hours of work time including sewing together and hiding ends.. would’ve been shorter if I worked faster and made less mistakes lol. Just have to watch your tension keep it nice and relaxed/loose to keep it laying flat and open. Wish we could post pics!! I’m about to make another for my older daughter and then one for myself. Thanks so much for this wonderful tutorial!
I love it...you did a fabulous job! I also wish we could post pictures. It seems people who crochet are a particularly creative group. One follower made a dress and a tank top with this pattern, they were so beautiful as well! Well done!!!
It could be a thread. The yarn (or thread) I used was a thrift store find and there was no information with it, so it's really just a guess what it is! :)
Wonderful! You may want to consider doing a chain 7 in the corners, rather than a chain 8. I found this once I starting joining the motifs together for the scarf tutorial which will be published Sunday.
I love this pattern! I love the lace effect it gives. I'm new to crochet, and have noticed that a lot of granny square patterns use a slip stich of the series of chain stitches to get to the next round. But why not use a double crochet instead of the chains?
It is a subtle but important difference. In this pattern, you want the clusters to be in the chain spaces. If the first stitch starts on top of the dc from the previous row, that cluster will look different than the others because it is not in the same place. Slip stitching to the correct starting point is why that technique is used.
@@createandcrochetwithpatricia Oh I see! Thank you! And then the following chain stitches gets your hook to the right height! It's all making sense. I worked this up last night and loved how it turned out! I ended up adding a round of regular double crochets (not clustered) so I can attach it to another square easier!
Great! Do check the description box below the video (click on ... more), where I have a scarf tutorial using this square. I show a joining technique there for a more lacey look.
See the link to a scarf tutorial in the description box below this video (click on "... more" to open the box). That tutorial shows how to join the motifs.
Absolutely! You can repeat round 3, but you will have to increase your stitches in each consecutive round, otherwise, the motif will curl up. You can do this by adding chains in the chain spaces and/or adding more clusters. I don't have an exact pattern, but just play around with it!
I have a scarf tutorial that shows one method of joining these squares together. The link to that is in the description box below the video (click on "...more" to open up the description box).
Yes, there is a link in the description box below the video for a scarf tutorial that shows how to join the squares together. Click on "...more". A very creative young woman made a dress with this pattern...it was beautiful!
Yes it would! Someone made a dress with these squares and it was so beautiful. There is a link in the description box below this video for a scarf tutorial. That shows how to join the squares. Have fun!
Here is a tutorial on how to join the squares together to make a scarf. It would be easy to adapt it to an afghan. There is always a written pattern and links for more information in the description box below my videos. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-41GxUIEkA0I.html
I thought it was square? Here is a project using the squares to make a scarf: patriciafentie.com/2022/05/01/crocheted-old-time-lace-scarf/ And if you have Instagram, check out this dress made using the granny square: instagram.com/p/CjhJW6CDkJO/
You can use a number 4 medium-weight yarn and a larger crochet hook to make a larger motif. If you wanted more rounds, that would be an addition to the pattern. You are welcome to do this if you like.
