Flower granny square blanket

Another blanket I am making is a gift for my mum, ( still in progress) can't wait to finished it and send it to her to the Philippines. Everytime we had a video conference she always give me a hint that She loves my seat cover made of granny square in a different colours.

This time I am making for her

For this blanket, I started it with flower motif instead of the regular granny square.

Flower pattern is from Redheart with free printable, link here

In row 4 instead of 2dc in ch1 space, I work 3dc in every ch1 space.
Repeat row 4 until your square become bigger.

Happy crocheting!!!

Crochet granny square

When I started my crochet hobby, the first thing I saw
was a granny square blanket, and I told to myself one day I will learn it,
fair enough I did 😊



I made my first scarf using cotton but not long enough but at least I did.



I know some of us can't resist granny square stitch, so many potentials
and not hard to make.



I decided to share the way I crochet granny square,
I know some of us have a different ways to do it but I'm happy to share mine.

Grab your hook and yarn and crochet along with me 😊😀


With your 5mm hook or you can use any hook that you are comfortable with


Start with chain 4 to form the center of the motif.
Chain 2 count as first DC, 2dc into ring,* ( ch2,3dc,ch2)  repeat*
until you have 4 groups of 3dc.
Ch2, slip stitch top of ch3. fasten off.

Row 2:

change to white colour,

join in to any ch2 space, ch3, ( 2dc, ch2,3dc) same space to form corner,

*ch1, (3dc,ch2,3dc) next ch2 space repeat until you have 4 corners.  

slip stitch top of ch3.

fasten off.

Row 3:
Join orange colour in any ch2 space,
ch2, (2dc,ch2,3dc)same stitch. ch1, in ch1 space work 3dc,
*ch1, to the ch2 space, (3dc,ch2,3dc) ,
ch1 3dc next ch1 space, repeat* to complete the row,
slip stitch top of ch3,.
fasten off.

Repeat row 3 until your square become bigger.

Just remember in every corner work (3dc,ch2,3dc)

and to the ch1 space work 3dc. 

Hope this will help.

Crochet doilies

As part of my crochet adventure, learning crochet using chart or diagram is fun when you know the crochet symbol.

This week after a massive learning of pineapple stitch, I learned how to crochet DOILIES, its fun to make if you have patience :)

I finished this doilies, using 3.5 mm hook with 8 ply acrylic yarn and not COTTON, because I don't have patience in cotton lol. It's a little bit faster to make, if you have the time.

I love it and turned out good, without blocking.

There's a lot of pineapple crochet doilies out there, you just have to search the one you like.

Here is another one I finished in red color.

I probably making another one of these lovely doilies.

Thank you for visiting my blog.
