Multi-Blue Granny Square Crochet Maxi-Skirt Update #4

Update 0 | Update 1 | Update 2 | Update 3 | Here | Update 5 | Update 6

I'm not done making all the granny squares yet, but I decided to start stitching together the ones I already blocked.

It looks super cool so far! I have I think 7 and a quarter granny squares to make (I have a WIP on my hook)

I'll join them lengthways next and see how everything fits before I tie off all the ends.

I don't talk abt it much on here but I crochet pretty much nonstop, this is the nicest thing I've made so far. super proud of it

My improvised setup for blocking granny squares... A solitaire board, some chopsticks and a plastic lid lol. Good enough!

one finished square, one wip, because i don’t know what color to finish with for the second square… feel free to leave me suggestions in the notes!

as per usual, done with a 3.5 mm hook, added the splendid serendipity border, and yarn and pattern details under the read more :)

square 1: Pennywise by Diana Krenz (free), despite my dislike for the fictional character, this is a lovely pattern. :) i think i added some front post stitches somewhere, but otherwise this pattern is unchanged.

yarn: if i’m not mistaken, entirely Lana Grossa Cotonella 002. cut off some of the gradient from gray to pink in between, to get the clean magenta and red border which i find really striking!

square 2: Gabriel by Diana Krenz (not a free pattern). Added a barely visible round of slip stitches before squaring up, because i thought the circle was too pretty not to be subtly highlighted. :)

yarn: Lana Grossa Cotonella 005 until squaring up, and then 008. The maroon border was done with a yarn i bought in a spanish dollar store — Melissa Platinum Cotton (100% cotton) in color Piri 8

Multi-Blue Granny Square Crochet Maxi-Skirt Update #2

Update 0 | Update 1 | Here | Update 3 | Update 4 | Update 5 | Update 6

I'm not done crocheting yet, but I decided to start blocking some of my squares! I dipped them in water, squeezed out the excess with a towel and pinned them to this foam board with sewing needles.

17 squares left to make!! (I think, I might do a few more rows) - Ik it doesn't look great - the order will be random when it's done

Back piece for the vest has been joined together and is now being blocked. Pretty happy with that so far.

more squares for my blanket, this time with some autumny color combinations! i sized the blanket up a bit so it could work as a beadspread — meaning i now need 25 squares instead of 16, which i don’t mind at all — i could crochet only afghan blocks until the end of time :)

square 1: this is the square from the Community Blanket by Michael Sellick (free). It ended up being much smaller than I expected, so I added some rows, + a few mini puffs.

yarn: Lana Grossa Cotonella 006 for the inner square, and Lana Grossa Pima 001 in dusty pink and random white cotton yarn i found in a cupboard somewhere for the border!

square 2: Cora by Diana Krenz (not free). I am gonna be so honest, I saw this square, and thought: I think I know how to do this without reading the pattern — and I could! so this is the first square for the blanket that isn’t free. I bought the pattern despite being able to do the square without reading it tho. :) i squared it up differently tho to match stitch count for the splendid serendipity border.

yarn: Lana Grossa Cotonella 006 for the square and 008 for the border!

square 3: a slightly altered Spiro Star by Helen Shrimpton (free)! i added some bobbles and squared it up differently as a result of that because it wouldn’t lay flat with the bobbles.

yarn: Lana Grossa Cotonella 004 for the square, and then maybe 005 or 006 for the border? I honestly can’t tell :D

19 squares done (3 more i need to post still), 6 to go. i have 3 in progress, and 2 that i need to decide whether to include at all. Then the only steps left are choosing a joining method and which color that should be, and a proper border to tie em all together :) the end is in sight (wish it wasnt! C: )

amigurumis are adorable and fun but whoever out there keeps trying to convince beginners they're a great starting point really is a fucking sadist

This is Afghan Block #81 by VCrochetPatterns! I've got a huge backlog of afghan squares I haven't gotten around to posting, so I'll get to that soon!
