I got this kit, just to try out a granny square blanket (8x9 squares).
This is a never again pattern, and never again yarn. This is never again for sure, not going back in 6-10 years like cross-stitch. :)
I think granny squares with a single color sounds like a fun and relaxing crochet. And if you like this kinda patterns my total respect for you!
I’m happy, now I am done with the squares. This will be a very small but nice blanket at the end.
My mom did several granny squares in that exact color and pattern! I’m not sure if she ordered a kit or just had the yarn for it (there’s always yarn!), but seeing this really helped me out on a night that I’ve been missing her strongly. Thank you for the unintentional gift.
ETA: I believe somewhere, possibly hanging on the wall in my brother’s house, is the blanket she made from them. I’ll have to check when I get back there.
It looks amazing, well done for powering through. I agree single-colour squares are much less faff. I’ll leave an idea here for you: granny squares as pixels. Let it brew in your head!
(I’m turning a Super Mario 3 sprite into a blanket for my husband with solid colour squares. The Mario itself isn’t too painful, it’s the background squares to make it blanket-shaped that’s painful. I need about 850 of them)
Oh my God, I love that idea. My mom was an amazing crocheter, but I’m much less talented. I’m a cross stitched at heart, though, and love pixel art. She made several items from tiny granny squares (2 inches to a side) and taught me to make those. I could totally make teeny granny squares and use them like pixels/cross stitch. That’s so freaking cool!
That’s not a bad idea. I just finished a tatted creeper - so many split rings - using the same method. I only posted it on craftree tho…
850 square is a lot. Like a lot lot! How is the process going? Will you shar e wip pics?
Looking beauty!
Thank you! :)
Wait, are you my child? They’re doing something extremely similar
Nope. But if I can do this, they will finish it up also! They can do it!
It was a kit from Amazon - and I do not recommend it: I really hate the yarn it come with. Snags, it randomly ends - frays when I’m trying to sew the squares together.
The pattern itself is fine tho.
