I am delighted to bring you the tenth square of the Granny Stitch Sampler Blanket CAL today. I love how versatile the Granny Stitch is and how you can combine it with more complex stitches to create something unique and lovely with a vintage feel. The Granny Stitch is the first stitch I learned when I was a beginning crocheter, and I made SO many blankets using only the Granny Stitch.
30 new fall patterns from 30 talented crochet designers will be released over the month of September. Check in each day for the exclusive discount code to save 50% or 100% on these great patterns!
I love using different stitch combinations to create textures that you can see and feel, but I don't like to use stitch combinations that are too open for baby designs because I would never want a tiny finger or toe to become entangled in something created from my pattern. Still, I did want a nice unique texture to this blanket and I achieved this with tiny crossed stitches that look like "x" s. Since "x" is a typical abbreviation for kiss, I thought Gentle Kisses was the perfect name for this design!
My friends and I are offering a selection of 10 adorable baby crochet patterns that you can grab for just $2.00 each- with no discount code needed- from March 10 through March 22, 2024.

The Trading Grannies Square works up really quickly and was quite fun to design. Each round is half the traditional granny stitch and half solid double crochets. And then from time to time, you'll "trade" which set of stitches comes first!
My friend Helen from Sunflower Cottage Crochet invited me to participate in the Preemie Crochet Challenge again this year, and of course I agreed! My niece was a micro-preemie born at 24 weeks gestation, so this event has a special place in my heart. (Plus I love designing baby things even though it really isn't in my normal niche of pattern designs!)
