How To Crochet The Blooming Lotus Square | An Overlay Crochet Granny Square Tutorial

[@SistersInStitch]

A little pattern note: apparently I was a bit tiered after the last round. You should end up with 52 double crochets per side (!) and not 53 as I say in the tutorial. 😇 Wish you lots of fun! All the best, Tess

[@kathyouthere]

Thank you for the free patterns. I'm low income and having to purchase them makes it so I can't do them. Your instructions are also great!

[@SistersInStitch]

Hi Kathy, thank you for your kind comment. This is exactly why we try to offer as many of our patterns as possible for free. We want crochet to be available for all and want to help you grow as a crocheter. ♥️ It’s such a beautiful and mindful craft 🌷🌸🍃 Sending you a big hug

Estou tentando fazer a flor não está perfeita pq é a minha primeira nesse estilo.depois mando uma foto .obrigada por compartilhar seu conhecimento.🥰😘

[@jonasweepill1262]

I’m in the same boat! And I’m newer to using different stitches so I need to evaluate the pattern before I commit 😂

[@aarathyradhakrishnan4688]

You are so kind to share a video tutorial for free here. Thank you so much. Purchased my biggest yarn stash ever just now to make a blanket out of these squares. I can't wait to see how it turns out. Thank you again so very much. Love from Germany

[@SistersInStitch]

Oooh wow, it sounds absolutely amazing. Wish you lots and lots of fun! 😍

[@Beav3067]

this is my first time doing a square like this and it turned out so well. the video was so easy to understand, thank you so much!!

[@NailebrityFilms]

I have only been crocheting for two weeks. After lots of little practice squares with the different crochet patterns I decided to give your video a try. I have very LOW expectations of being able to follow along as a beginner… BUT omg I did it! I watched you on half speed, did lots of rewinding but completed my (one color white) square today after about 5 days on a trip to Maine. Thank you so much. Your teaching skills are incredible and I am now addicted to crocheting. thumbs up, subscribed and notifications on….. fan for life.

[@SistersInStitch]

Oooh, you have no idea how happy you made me with your kind words. Thank you so so so much! 🥰

[@billtessgreatadventure1481]

I made mine along with the video and for whatever reason, I thought it would turn out about half the size, but mine is huge. It could be a sofa pillow! I think she’s using a lower weight yarn and smaller hook, but even as big as mine is, I’m super happy with how it turned out. My sister wants it for Christmas and I decided I would just build on the square until it reaches the size of a small throw/lap blanket. I wish I could post a photo for you!

[@fritula6200]

This is the "jewel" of crocheting !!! I think once you learn to do something like this, yr crocheting confidence hits that level of bliss. Also, thank you for showing us how to sew in and hide the ends. Thanks you for yr kindness.

[@SistersInStitch]

Awwww thank you! That means so much to hear. Sending you a big hug!! ♥️🌸🍃🧶☕️

I’m going to have to watch this 50 times to get it. Not because your instructions aren’t absolutely perfect and easy to understand. It’s because I’m dense. Love this soooo much! 🤷‍♀️🔥❤

[@Prd2bamom5]

I just made one of these beautiful squares to see if I could do it and yes 👏 I was able to finish it completely 🥰 it turned out beautifully! I’m going to make a bedspread 🛌 it will be beautiful! 😍 only thing I would say is to mark the first and last HDC of round 11 because you will need to know where they are on round 14 I believe? lol that was the only hard part for me because I used my own colors. So I recommend to Mark your stitches just so it’s easier. Thank you ladies for this beautiful project!!! It’s not difficult surprisingly!!! 👏 👍 👍 😊

[@SistersInStitch]

Awww thank you so so much for your kind words and helpful suggestions. We are so happy you tried it out and had fun! :)

I just started this square today and all I can say is WOW! I'm in love! I'm having so much fun doing all the different rounds and colors and I adore the idea of how it originally came together.. passing it back and forth to a friend.

I loved this tutorial and my square looks gorgeous I’m going to turn my square into a decorative cushion !! I felt great sense of achievement when I completed the square as there was some tricky stitches and techniques but all was explained clearly 👍🏻🧶

[@annalouux8553]

Thats great how big was your square in inches or centimetres thanks. I mean is the square big enough for a cushion?

[@craftastic3126]

The square was 12” by 12” I used James Brett 100% cotton wool in pastel colours can’t remember what hook size I used possibly 3.5 or 4mm and I crocheted a back piece in single crochet rows, then crocheted the edges together 😊

[@SistersInStitch]

Thank you, we are so so happy to hear that you enjoyed it. :)

[@SStoll-dz1cp]

I’m a beginner & I would never attempt this if it wasn’t for your detailed instructions . It’s so important to explain very slowly & repeatedly every single step till the very end. Thank you for that.Wish me luck! From sunny California!

I generally don't comment on KZbin, and I normally hate positivity in videos, it turns me off because it comes across as forced and fake. But I liked your voice, and I'm not sure where you are from but your accent was beautiful. I felt like I was experiencing a Disney princess teach me how to crochet a beautiful pattern. Thanks for uploading this, and keep being yourself.

Awww you are the sweetest. I’m from Sweden and I so appreciate your kind words and encouragement. Thank you! ♥️♥️♥️

[@gwennie82]

I think it says something about ourselves that we are annoyed by a cheerful person, at least that is what they say: That you have to find an irritation within yourself. But the amount of laughter, while nothing funny happens, also irritates me very much 🙉 Combination working without colleagues and uncertainty, I think. I see this in a lot of tutorials. Regardless, this was a great tutorial. But with the sound off 🤭 I'm sorry Sisters, some laughter is fine but it is a liiiitle too much 😘🍀

I❤❤ your tute. Thank you so very much. I have not crocheted in years and since I lost my mom last November I have been so busy being lost that I need to have something to do with my hands to focus on something positive. Anyway, I picked up my hook and decided to learn stitches doing squares. I have made granny square blankets and scarves and shawls and a blanket for my mom years ago doing double crochet stitches. It’s horrible but she loved it to my face. I checked out your channel and got so excited. Your content is amazing and beautiful. Anyway I’m making a journey blanket and I would love to use your tutes to make it. 😊😊😊. Thank you 🙏.

It actually looks a lot like the main flower in the fabric! It's been so long since I've had to do so many changes, so I hope my piece will turn out as beautiful as yours.

Oh my gosh, I just had to comment on this wonderful video. I had some free time this holiday weekend, and having been a knitter for 15+ years but always been a little hesitant to try crochet, I finally looked up some tutorial videos and made a few granny squares. I saw this video and thought, what the heck, why not give it a go? And your instruction is so clear and easy to follow that I've been able to make the square! I had to look up a few of the stitches but you're really helping me understand the different elements of crochet design and your video is so much easier to follow than trying to decipher written instructions. Thank you so much, I'll definitely be trying your other designs as well!

[@SistersInStitch]

What a gorgeous crochet square. I have never seen anything so beautiful. Thank you both for sharing. I am going to give this a try very soon. The tutorial and the way you explained the instructions are clear and concise. 💜💜gayle

Thank you so much for your kind words Gayle, wish you lots of crochet fun! ♥️🥰

Thank’you so much for this vidéo! I learned a lot: new stitches and technics I didn’t know to make volumes. At the same time it’s so delightful like a cup of tea with cookies because you seem to be so funny and joyful … and I love the Colors which you use . Those mandala which have different rows permit to learn a lot different things on a single project ❤

[@phillipbaugh9876]

I wanted to thank you for the pattern (and tutorial) for the Blooming Lotus Square pattern. I started it to include it in a granny square blanket with 12" squares and didn't read the story behind it. Through many nights of frogging and throwing crocheting needles in frustration, it is finished and gorgeous and I will be turning it into a wall hanging. (I wish there was a way to include a picture.) The tutorial was a Godsend (even if I was going to scream at one more "easy peasy lemon breezy") when it wasn't easy. I have come across another "What were you thinking?" pattern, but I think I will do a few simpler squares first. Again thank you Tess and Ina. It was a great adventure.

Awww thank you so much for your kind comment. It means the world to hear and we are so happy you enjoyed it.. Even through the lemons.. 😘😅😂 Sending you a big hug!

[@chloespetservices]

I am making this for my newly refurbished bedroom! Can't wait to start it!

[@SistersInStitch]

What is beautiful motif!! The tutorial was easily followed, also. Thank you!!

Thank you so much ✨🥰 We are so happy you had fun!

Okay, I'm taking this on. I've been recovering from a repetitive motion shoulder injury (due to marathon crochet efforts) and I need to get back. The pattern is lovely, and into round 2, it's obvious that your instructions are clear. I appreciate the time stamps as well, and even though guys crochet and knit, too, I think "SistersInStitch" is a delightful name.

[@SistersInStitch]

Hi Betty, I’m so sorry to hear that you have been hurt and are happy you are feeling better. Hope the Blooming Lotus will bring you some crochet joy. 🥰 Regarding the name: I totally agree with you, all people enjoy crochet regardless of gender. SistersInStitch was first intended for me and my friend Kay whom I started this business with as we saw our friendship as the crochet versions of sister-in-laws, and the movie sisters in jeans from back in the early 2000. ♥️ Two years ago, she decided to leave the brand and I’m now flying solo but have included all crocheters as my fellow SistersInStitch:es. 😄 Happy crocheting!

[@ruchikashah3712]

[@penniewalsh9596]

Beautiful. I ordered my yarn for it tonight. I want to make a queen size bed cover

[@SistersInStitch]

Oooh that sounds amazing, we wish you lots of fun!

[@kadenmoore7918]

Thanks for the beautiful pattern and so easy your instructions are. Am already on row 13!. I've plenty of some beautiful soft tweed yarn all autumn colours , and so a blanket it will be!!!. Wish I could show it here once done! Just an update 😊 Regarding the formation of the square at Row 16 I think? , yeah. I found I had to watch each stitch, I personally would have liked, ( because I find reading instructions a bit challenging) 10 single crochet 2 half double, 2 double, and so on. Well I managed it !!! Am sure many will agree. But hay! Am doing it! Thanks😂

[@SistersInStitch]

Ooooh that sounds absolutely magical! You can always contact us through our homepage www.SistersInStitch.com/contact or send us a DM on Instagram at @SistersInStitch 🌼 We would love to see it
