How To Crochet A Straight Granny Square
The beginners can really have fun with the crochet learning doing some cute and fun projects just like this straight granny square. The one yarn hued granny square is really making this crochet project easier as you do not have to add in more colors. Create a bunch of these granny squares to practice sufficiently. Details here!
Windows Border
The Windows Border is an easy two round pattern that can work with just about any pattern, but it is particularly suited when you're bordering squares or blocks that have been joined by one of the loopy methods, where chain loops are made all the way around the square. This would include the Tight Braid Join, Scallop Join, Flat Braid Join, and more! And I think it looks like little windows with pretty curtains - but the modern, graphic style will work with tons of patterns! For the hook and yarn, use whatever you've been using for the rest of your project.
Heart Pixel Art Square
Though a little time consuming, pixel art projects are so fun! I think I like most that it kind of resembles a quilt, but also that it uses my favorite join-as-you method - the Pull Loop Through Method! Makes for an easy join, and no worrying about how to assemble later - can't say I enjoy sewing squares together. BUT! If you do, you could always make the squares separately, and then use the mattress stitch (or your preferred technique) to join them later. WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH THIS SQUARE? It's the perfect size for a 16 throw pillow, use it as an afghan square, and build a blanket, add more squares all around to make a larger blanket, use it as a doily, attach it to a dowel rod, and hang it, use it as the star of the show for a sweater/top, even changing up the weight of yarn used will open doors!
Crochet Mosaic Potholder
To begin with, this crochet mosaic potholder uses quadrants of repeating patterns to generate a truly spectacular effect. Indeed, the combination of an almost snowflake-like pattern and flame orange is wonderful.
Elements Potholder
Earth, wind, sun, fire, indeed this crochet mosaic potholder has it all. Moreover, you can make each of the elements in any color you choose, to really liven up the table.
