Joining Granny Squares

“I enjoy joining squares”, said no crocheter ever 😊

When I started designing #letsminglecal, I was dreading the moment when I had to start joining the squares together. I used to avoid any projects made up of squares. It is that last step that you might put your work aside for months or even years just to avoid doing it. 

 

This week, I have brought together 3 different methods to join squares, each of which results into a different look and texture.
Method # 3 is the technique I used in joining Let’s Mingle CAL squares (you can find the CAL videos in this link).

I hope you enjoy the tutorial and as always, I will be looking forward to hearing your feedback and answering any of your questions.

Have a nice weekend! And keep crocheting.

I am not sure how this post got missed and it was sitting in the “Draft” section all this time. My apologies for this. 

Hi and welcome back to the last week of Let’s Mingle CAL.
This is the 6th pattern in this crochet along journey.
I hope you have been enjoying working on these patterns as much as I have enjoyed designing them.

This week we are adding more texture to our blanket with the Swirl Pattern. 
And as we have already been doing with the previous patterns, you can start your work with a chainless half double foundation row (you can find the tutorial here).

If you have missed previous CAL tutorials, you can find them here:

Let’s Mingle CAL : Week 5

by | posted in: Bernat yarn, crochet blanket, Crochet projects, Let's Mingle CAL, riche textured crochet projects, textured crochet stitches | 0

Hey friends,

Hope you’re all doing well and enjoying our CAL patterns.
This week we are doing one more textured pattern; the Slant pattern.

It’s a simple repeat of 2 rows with a slight twist to give the slant effect. It is one of those patterns that you can crochet absent mindedly once you get the hang of it.

In the video tutorial, I am starting with 35 foundation chains; however, if you wish to work a chainless foundation row, you will need 34 chainless single crochet stitches to begin (here’s a link to the tutorial)
 
Here are links to previous patterns in this CAL:
Week 1: Up & Down Pattern
Week 2: Rain Drop Pattern
Week 3: Modified Shell Pattern
Week 4: The Y Pattern

You can also purchase the written pattern of all 6 patterns through my Ravelry store.

Let’s be friends 😊

Always happy to answer your questions and receive your feedback.

Have a nice weekend!
