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 saw a brief video of a similar stitch one day, and it was unfortunately linked to a scam website with stolen patterns in a different language. There were many comments on the video from crocheters requesting the pattern in English, so after watching it a few times I came up with my own variation- AND I even made a tutorial video for you, as the pattern itself is quite easy, but explaining the technique in written form was a bit of a challenge and I wanted to give you a visual to go along with what I have written.
I designed the Diamondback Scarf as part of the 2024 Gift to Myself CAL, hosted by Underground Crafter. We spend so much time crocheting items for loved ones and for donation, at times it seems we have hooked and hooked with nothing to show for it, so I just love the spirit of this event- it is okay to put our talents to use on a "selfish" project! You can proudly wear this scarf, knowing you will get lots of compliments and every time someone asks, "where did you get that?" You can say, "oh, I made it!"
I know personally, I would make far more money from pattern sales than I do advertising revenue. I imagine this is the case for my designer friends as well. Just some food for thought, the next time an ad annoys you- the owner of that site relies on those pennies they get from each ad.
We want to make sure your gift list is covered, so for the first half of December, we will be sharing Quick Gift crochet patterns. Then at the second half, we will feature Cozy Makes, or patterns for you to work on after the craziness of this month has died down. Each designer will be offering their pattern either for free or for a discount, plus some of them have additional offerings for you on their featured day!
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!
