---- About the Pattern ----
The Spring Court Granny Square is a colorful crochet pattern that features a flower motif. The end result is a dense and stiff granny square with minimal gaps, which is great to piece up for larger projects that require more solid construction. This may include stuffed animals, pillow covers, thick cardigans, or more. Alternatively, crocheting this pattern with a larger hook can produce an airier, softer granny square with more gaps, making it suitable for summer tops. Overall, this is the perfect design to play with different yarn color combinations for a rustic, farmhouse touch! The PDF pattern includes written instructions and a detailed photo tutorial.

We just made two today with my 9 year old stunning, little grand daughter, who I'm teaching to crochet. This was her first time with the HDC, Triple and drop stitch. She also learnt to change colours with you. Thank you so much for this tutorial. We are now going to go ahead and make the chicken! Love from Australia! 😘😘😘

[@SweetSofties]

So awesome to hear!! Yay! What a joy it is to crochet with your granddaughter. That's wonderful quality time together. Smart girl for being abl eto do all these new stitches too!

[@vanessanda]

@@SweetSofties Yes, It's amazing! And you're right, it's great quality time. When she grows up, she can teach her kids something that her Yiayia (grandmother) taught her. We need to make sure that this art form doesn't die out! You are doing your part! Thanks again! 🙋‍♀ Oh and by the way, I'm back again to make a chicken for myself! So cute!

[@susanwood9439]

Love the fact that you show the mistakes and how to fix them. We all make mistakes..

[@amygunn3774]

Just found your channel today and I’m hooked (pun intended). Your voice is calming and this video is easy to follow. Thank you SO much for including the brand and name of the yarn. That information makes it so much easier to track down the exact yarn or a similar yarn if needed. I wish everyone did that. Great job

[@SweetSofties]

Aww thank you for the amazing feedback! I really appreciate it!

[@sometimesiwander7146]

I made 2 last night while sick in bed. TWO!!! Yay me. lol. My colors are not lovely like yours, but that’s bc I test all my learning patterns out with cheap Walmart yarn in wild colors to keep me awake. lol. Thx for the video. I wanna make the chickens now.

[@SweetSofties]

YAY, good job!! Hope you get well soon though

[@fatheadchicken3918]

I messed up 😂 I kept seeing x7 thinking "Total of 7" then towards the end of the video you say 8 petals 😮 uh oh 😅 Oh well, now I know next time. It still worked out, I just added a few stitches throughout and it's not too bad 😎👍 I will make two more (the right way) and move on to the video with the lil chickens you make with them.... Can't wait 😁 thanks for the video!

[@Gretagarbo830]

[@kathyw141]

I just got the pattern. I want to make a cardigan and a top for myself.

[@SweetSofties]

This would make an aboslutely gorgeous cardigan and top!!

[@YvonneWilson312]

Such a pretty square! I love them. The colour possibilities are endless! P.S. My Get-A-Hug bear arrived this morning! So adorable and so very well made. He has been named Hugo :)

[@SweetSofties]

So glad you like this design, and how exciting that your sweet bear arrived today!! Hugo seems like a very fitting name for a bear you're going to hug a lot!

[@giorgoszafeiriadis1141]

I love It! When it was to make the corner I did (2 Tr, ch1, 2 Tr: all in the same st) and looks like a corner even more!

[@minini5571]

So pretty!😊

[@SweetSofties]

Thank you! 😊

[@mikeandrews3655]

Basically you can make a “circle in a square” . Very easy.

[@SweetSofties]

Yep! :)

[@Marieginette30]

merci d'Avignon

[@irmiisrael7685]

Sooo pretty!!!

[@SweetSofties]

Thank you!!

[@Value1lady]

Beautiful! What size hook with an acrylic yarn to make it a 5x5? Thanks! 💕💕

[@SweetSofties]

I'm not exactly sure (maybe 5mm?), but I'd recommend using bulkier yarn as well!

[@katielou2118]

How did you get 5 single crochets between the drop stitch I’ve tried so many times and I don’t understand

[@janettekerr1506]

Hi. Hopefully you have already figured it out. But if not and I understand your question, I kinda looked at the drop stitch as an extra stitch. She goes back under it to make the first single crochet of the 5 . The single crochets are on top of the double crochets of the row before. Hope that made sense and helped. Good luck

[@evastarink4546]

I had the exact same problem! Where we went wrong is in the previous round, round 4, she not only does the drop stitch below but also does a single crochet in that same stich. So first you are working under the stitch to make the drop stitch, then you remain at that same stitch to single crochet tthis time hrough the stitch as you normally would! This way you end up with 5 single crochets inbetween the drop stitches!

[@MicheleForce]

Am I correct that by the end, because the ch3 at the start of the final round "doesn't count," then the last side you stitch has 17 dc between the corner ch1 spaces, while the other 3 sides only have 16? I'm a bit confused on how these are going to stitch together since the sides are not all the same. (I'm making the chicken)

[@SweetSofties]

You join with a sl st to the first Dc so the chain isn’t part of the stitch count; your join will go over the chain. That makes the sides equal stitches 😊

[@MicheleForce]

@@SweetSofties Ah, ok - So it has an extra "post" but not an extra stitch on the top. Got it! Thank you SO MUCH for replying so quickly! 💞

[@SweetSofties]

@@MicheleForce yes, correct! You explained it better than me!

[@puddintainaskmeagainilltel3031]

On round 2… restart all saying chain, won between the double coaches and then after you made a few of them, then you said the chain too, I’m a little confused? I’ve watched it four times to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating. Did I miss something? Help 🤪

[@jamiesmithhart1234]

Definitely a mistake. She did ch 1 all the way around except for that one. I just did ch1s and it came out great!

[@juliebean2806]

Why did you say won and too instead of one and two

[@bg12445]

I lost the link to make this into a chicken

[@SweetSofties]

Here it is! :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eomYapiOeKx6ac0

[@mikeandrews3655]

Maybe a better quality yarn would have been a better choice.

[@SweetSofties]

Thanks for the tip!
