Blackwork-Style Squares Free Pattern
The Blackwork-Style Squares crochet pattern by Kathryn A. Clark brings the delicate art of embroidery into crochet. Featuring Hobbii Amigo and Hobbii Winter Glow yarn, it is ideal for intermediate crocheters who like working with intricate detail. This project is also a perfect opportunity for you to explore the interlocking filet crochet technique.
The Blackwork-Style Squares pattern calls for a 3.5 mm hook, allowing for very fine stitching in this interlocking-method project. It features a geometric design reminiscent of traditional blackwork embroidery but is much more three-dimensional due to the cable-like effect.
These squares can be used individually as decorative hot pads or joined together to create a stunning pillow cover or blanket. Whether you decide to make a true statement piece or a king-size afghan, this project combines aesthetic appeal and functionality. For the intermediate crocheter looking for a touch of embroidery flair, the Blackwork-Style Squares pattern makes a perfect choice!
Year Of The Ox Granny Square
Hi everyone! It's an every year contribution I've been doing, to come up with a granny square that has the face of the current year's Chinese zodiac animal. So far I've made the chicken, the dog, the rat, and now the ox. And I've also enjoyed making other animal granny squares, such as the cat and the frog, and have a few in the making (a rabbit and other animals) that I'm going to post in the future. The only hard part for me when designing these granny squares is to show as many face traits as possible, while keeping the square easy to make. I think I've nailed it this time. So enjoy making this cute ox as a granny square unit for a baby blanket perhaps, plus, you can totally change the colors to make it look like a cow. Stay safe and healthy, and happy (belated) Chinese new year!

How To Crochet A Granny Square
"The granny square is the easiest crochet square out there and should be one of the first things a beginner should learn. It sets the start for more intricate patterns and designs. You can crochet a few rows and stop to form classic granny squares which are joined together, or you can continue with the rounds of clusters to make your granny square as big as you like (and even turn it into a one-piece blanket). How do you crochet a granny square? A granny square is crocheted in the round and it's constructed with clusters of 3 double crochet stitches evenly spaced out to form a square shape. This granny square tutorial was designed for absolute beginners with step by step instructions and a video tutorial for those who learn better from watching how it's done. "
