Tiny Granny Square Necklace

By Heather Mann from Dollar Store Crafts
You can get a handful of fun colored

"yarn" for just a dollar or two. These tiny
granny squares are about an inch and a
half, and perfect for a fun little necklace
that would make a great homemade gift!
INSTRUCTIONS:
If you are a beginning crocheter, I
recommend making a couple granny
squares with regular yarn and hooks just
to get the hang of it. After you make a
few, you will memorize the pattern, and it
will be the perfect thing to crochet on
auto-pilot (and a great way to use up your
small leftover balls of yarn.)

Using a tapestry needle, sew strap to the

your bag with fabric or leave it as is. My
daughter didn’t want it lined because she
didn’t want to see the fabric through the

bag, she puts her stuff in a ziploc bag

Granny Square Afghans

Lakeshore Plaid Blanket
By Ana from Lanas Hilos
Create an amazing afghan that looks like SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:

gingham or plaid! The best part of this These granny squares are made each in
afghan is that instead of sewing the one solid color. Four colors are
squares at the end, the granny squares needed: One is used for the background,
are joined together as you go. two for the “lines”, and the fourth for the
connection point of the two lines.
This is the order in which the motifs
should be placed in order to make the
plaid pattern:
Small : 7 x 7 squares
Medium: 9 x 9 squares
Large: 11 x 11 squares
This is the number of squares needed for

INSTRUCTIONS: JOIN AS YOU GO INSTRUCTIONS:

There are many ways to join granny
squares:
* with simple crochet (sc) stitch... but it

leaves a bump;
* sewing the pieces together with a
needle... but most people that crochet
don´t like it;
* there is still another option...
I find the best option for this blanket is to

“join as you go along”, which is done on
the last row of the motif.
Points where you will join along:
The granny squares for the can be made

as big or small as you want, as long as you
follow the color arrangement and order. I
made mine with 4-row grannies (medium
size). Other color options:

How to join-along passing the needle

on the top (left) How to join in the corner:
After joining in one corner, then you
make a chain, and do the opposite corner,
before doing the following 3-DC cluster.
(right)
For the border, I followed the granny

pattern all around. I used all four colors,
and made one row of each, finishing with
white (or the background color). Finally,
finish off with a row of simple crochet (sc)
over each stitch all around.
