I’ve heard people call them this, but it feels like a weird word to me for some reason. But I have in fact been making 2 lap Afghans out of ever-increasing crocheted granny squares, and I’d like to share them with you!
Each used 3 Caron Blossom Cakes, the first in thr Tropical Bloom colorway and the second in Azalea (which is also our kitten’s name). I used an H-8 (5mm) hook because that is my favorite size, but I noticed something interesting: with the Azalea one I used an inline Susan Bates hook, and for the Tropical Bloom one I used the Clover Amour hook, which has a tapered head. I know I’ve talked about which I prefer before, but get this: with the inline hook, my square needed more stretching on the sides to get it even with the corners when I was done. With the tapered hook, the rows took up slightly more yarn but I didn’t have to do any stretching to get it to be a decent square. Interesting.
I’m also working on a crocheted shawl and I’m sewing a costume and I’m crocheting a little cardigan thing, so stay tuned for those! I hope you all are doing well, and thanks for stopping by!
