I thought I'd make my next blanket a squares one. I vaguely visualised a flower motif in different colours to use up the yarn left over from the last blanket, but when I saw this modernised granny square, it called to me. The
original pattern by Hiromi is for a bag, but there's no reason the squares can't be joined to make a blanket. I like that the main colour will be natural (undyed) and that I can use the different left overs for the 'background' round. And I like that it's a updated version of a traditional pattern.
This is going to look great !
ReplyDeleteAlso very effective with the flowers being 3-D. This will be a lovely blanket too, you are on a roll, aren't you?
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother used to do granny square afghans. This reminds me of her. Very nice! Can't wait to see it done.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fun one to crochet!
ReplyDeleteIt's really pretty! Nice pattern, great execution!
ReplyDeleteLovely squares and looks a great pattern
ReplyDeleteOh so do I like this version those flowers just seem to pop out at you
ReplyDeleteI like this pattern, the flowers look 3D, do the petals stand up?
ReplyDeleteYes, they do. I think that's what makes it more modern than the normal granny square.
DeleteThat's lovely :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful squares, that will make a lovely blanket!
ReplyDeleteThat is going to be an awesome blanket!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThese squares are extra pretty with the flower centers.
