Pinks and Orange Granny Square Blanket

Happy Friday!

I am so excited I am finally finished sewing in all the ends on this granny square blanket! Woohoo!

This is for my son in California girlfriend..She chose the colors and I love the way it turned out!Isn't it just so pretty!

There are 13 granny squares across and 15 rows down.. Look at all those ends.. and a sleepy pup!

Flower Granny Square Pattern

To make the granny squares .. chain 3 with size H hook. join to first chain to form a ring..
chain 2 ( counts as first DC) then do 7 double crochets in ring ..slip stitch to top of the first chain 2.

there will be 8 spaces in the circle.

Join new color..
Chain 2( counts as first DC) 2 double crochets in the first space.. then 3 double crochets in the remaining 7 spaces..Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain 2
It should look like a flower at this point.

Join next color.
you will do this next round in between each flower petal.
chain 2 do 2 double crochet..chain 1 ,3 more double crochet all in the first space which makes a corner.. next space 3 double crochet.. next space 3 double crochet, chain 1 ,3 double crochet which makes another corner ..continue alternating until you have 4 corners.. join to the top of the first double crochet..

I use a join as you go method to connect the squares ( all the white on the blanket) and you can click HERE to get those instructions..

The border is a row of single crochet ..2 rows of half double crochet and another single crochet row.. to make the little ruffles I slip stitch around the post ,chain 3 ,skip a stitch then repeat .I did that in the last single crochet row and the first half double crochet row.. I used a size H hook and the yarn is from Hobby Lobby I love this yarn except for the orange which was a different brand .

There are 3 colors of pink , the orange and lots of white..

Patriotic Baby Crochet

Since we are expecting another Grandson at the end of June, its time for me to get busy crocheting some cute things for the new little guy! I made this patriotic blanket , cocoon and hat ..

I used this pattern for the cocoon, except when it started the fancy stitch I just stuck to plain half double crochet .. I did 5 rows of each color to make the stripes. I made the stars from Attic 24's pattern ..for the blanket star I used a H hook ,for the hat I used a F hook .
