Here's the result of my recent project of joining 70 crocheted (not by me) Granny Squares into twin blankets for the Pine Street Inn Knit-a-thon. The assembly was super easy with all the squares being identical. I didn't have to worry about square placement as I did with the two previous blankets that I have worked on. This time I used Lucy's method to join the squares . The result was very nice. I recommend this slip (crocheted) stitch method. Sure beats sewing all the squares together! Then to dress them up a little bit I felt a scalloped border was in order. First I did a border of single crochets around the whole blanket, then I crocheted six triple crochets spaced with a single crochet in between them. I'm very happy with the results.

ReplyDeleteWow! Those are amazing blankets!! GREAT job!!!
ReplyDeleteThose blankets are awesome! I like Lucy's joining method, too. Hope you're having a great spring!
ReplyDeleteThose are so pretty, and very spring like, too. I think my grandmother used to crochet her squares together, too, and it seems less time-consuming than sewing.
