This square can be made into a large square for a blankie - just continue to repeat Rnds 7, 5 and 6 of the pattern. This is one I'm working on now. :)
I've made a video for a rectangle 'simply pretty'.
A realy beautiful square! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'll pin it on my Pinterest board.
Wow! a very pretty square. I have been hooked on different squares for a while now and I must tell you....I am in love with this one. Thank you so much for the pattern. I am going to use this in my latest blanket I am working on.!

ReplyDeleteYour crochet square is beautiful thanks for sharing the pattern.. Do you take special rockers for your crochet hooks with the lovely pink swirls??? Hugs Judy
ReplyDeleteThanks Judy. No, sorry - I don't sell my crochet hooks, but there are quite a few sellers on Etsy who create beautiful hook handles. :)

Debi - I loved this square when you first shared a picture, but I couldn't figure out what I could do with it if you shared your pattern (I'm not huge into multi-square blankets just yet) - this one large square is PERFECT! thanks for the pattern, and great idea. Definitely adding to my list of "to-do" in the future projects!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this pattern-and for sharing so many lovely square patterns. You make them so easy to follow and they really are fantastic :-)
ReplyDeleteDebi, This is gorgeous as always!! Definitely have to add this to my to do list, which is already filled with blankets inspired by your posts. I love them all!!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome Debi! Thank you for sharing it. I am definitely going to make one. I just started on a never ending granny but Mikey from the Crochet Crowd. It's the 7 strand. Oddly my crochet 'impatience' I think is changing. I don't know, we'll see what happens. But I'm loving the colors I picked (except I changed one, and unfortunately it was the first one I started with and that is the only round with that color but I have an idea to cover it up).
ReplyDeleteDebi, I was introduced to your site and this pattern yesterday; downloaded and tried the pattern last night. FINALLY figured out the problems with it today. You need to check your written instructions for Rnds 3 and 4 (rnd 5 also but it is just a case of saying SC when you mean DC). Had I not had the picture and also been an experienced crocheter, I would probably have never figured out what you did on those two rounds. Everything else so far looks fine; I am loving the way the square is turning out; will probably do a baby blanket out of this one. I do thank you for sharing this pattern; it may easily become a favorite for me. Marie
ReplyDeleteYAAY! Thanks for this. Have a wonderful weekend (what's left of it). :)
ReplyDeleteI think this is a most beautiful square. I am a relative newbie when it comes to reading patterns. I'm having trouble with the instructions. My square is puckering or something. Has anyone done step-by-step tutorial with pictures? Thanks. Bg
ReplyDeleteHi Brenda. If I remember correctly, this square will pucker a tiny bit after the ch 3 rounds, but will straighten out when you crochet the granny stitch round. (I didn't do a step-by-step with pictures.) :)
DeleteHi Debi, I also had problems with the same rounds Marie is talking about so I had to come back to this site and now I think I can figure it out. I am using size 3 Aunt Lydia's thread and a small steel hook and making the prettiest coasters. I will be giving them for a bridal shower. Thank you for sharing. Roberta
ReplyDeleteI would like a draw of the pattern. it would be easier. I can not understand the explanation. thanks
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, but I don't know how to do that.
DeleteBEAUTIFUL & EASY AND DIFFERENT THANKS
ReplyDeleteThis is the prettiest and most versatile square I have ever seen. You can make a blanket with less gaps than a traditional granny. Thanks
ReplyDeleteHello Debi, my mum and I both love this pattern. Unfortunately our native language isn't English. So I tried to puzzle a little bit and made a drawing of your pattern. You can find it on pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/519110294530283901/
ReplyDeleteI've made a reference to this blog post. Please let me know if you agree or if I should remove the drawing. Regards Daisy
Hi Daisy. You have my permission to use the drawing of my square. It's very nice by the way. I'm sure a lot of crocheters will appreciate the drawing instead of having to follow a written pattern. :)
DeleteHi Debi, I love this pattern. I've used it a number of times to make different projects and it always turns out well. I am about to teach a beginners crochet class for the first time and I was hoping you would give me permission to use it as a project option. There is a charge for the class but my income (if any) from it will be small. I would make sure it is clear that the pattern is your work, and encourage the students to come and look at your blog. I think it would make a great confidence builder for students as it is so lovely, yet it is simple to learn.
ReplyDeleteHi Twigbymeg. Of course you have my permission - thank you for asking. I'm happy that you enjoy this pattern so much that you would like to share it with others. I hope you have a great class. :)
DeleteThis square is REALLY pretty. I love the blanket you made. I will definitely give it a go! Thank you so much for writing out the pattern.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very pretty crochet square pattern. Would like to try make a blanket out of this someday soon.
ReplyDeleteHey Debi!
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern. Your video tutorial is very good. Thanks for sharing this really pretty pattern.
Thank you Geeta - I'm glad you like it. :)
DeleteBeautiful. Will try this. Thanks for posting
