Crochet Granny Squares in all my favourite colours

[@MsLisaMBrown]

Gorgeous colors! I’m working on a Jethro cardigan as we speak, just finished joining all the granny squares. You are right, it’s so addictive!

I love your color palette. I am also making a Jethro. I used regular blocking matts to block the squares. I did the first 20 squares at once and then the rest later. I’m working on the button band now. It’s such a fun project!

If you turn your work for each round, you don't have to block your granny squares. Also, combining the double magic circle technique with the 2-ends granny square technique will leave you with only one end to weave in for each square.

Lovely! DK minis are such a cool idea. I’ve fallen down the crochet hole and haven’t looked back. I especially like combining the crafts when it makes sense, like knitted ribbing is cleaner than crochet ribbing so that’s a good sub. Someone needs to make a book of socks with a crochet motif on the leg and knitted parts where it makes sense. Actually, crank a tube on the csm, crochet a bit, and finish it off as you like. Sorry to go off topic, nice Jethro! 😂❤❤❤

[@sweetgeorgia]

Yes! Love this idea of mixing up the crafts where it makes sense 👍

I mist 3 squares individually & pin down the 3 in a stack on top of each other on the blocking boards. Let them dry in sun, or overnight in doors.

I bought the granny square blocking set and loved it when doing my cardigan. But I understand not wanting to acquire yet another piece of equipment. Could you use longer pins and stack 2 or 3 squares on your blocking mat ( with a little space between them. it is still a bunch of pins, but not quite as many as blocking each one individually. Love the colors, but then again, I love all the Sweet Georgia colors!

Toe nail clippers would work in place of scissors. If allowed.

I'd tend to suggest that you add your third party of five set of skeins sooner rather than later, and mix them in with the existing colours, so that the squares from the third party don't look like an afterthought. If it were my cardigan, I'd probably go for the brighter colours, or perhaps the pinks - but definitely start mixing them in. EDIT: I like your colour choices much better than the ones in the photograph of the pattern, the ones in the pattern really weren't doing it for me.

[@sweetgeorgia]

@@resourcedragon oh YES! I did end up going with the pinks from the Spilling Secrets set. Glad I mixed in some pinks and purples 👌🏼

You can make granny square “emotional support” chickens with these! @sweetgeorgia

[@sweetgeorgia]

@@Grace-fb7jk brilliant. I think I need one of those chickens 😆

@You do! @sweetsofties YT has the pattern. Would love to see yours! I imagine the eyes could be yarn if you want to avoid the plastic parts in case of babies, dogs or just plastic.
