Recently I have had a chance to do a really thorough perusal of part of my studio. I had help moving a majority of stuff to another room. For that I'm grateful. Yarn skein by skein isn't heavy. Yarn in tubs and cubbies are enormously heavy. But in my moving and opening every bag, box, containers of who knew what, I found a bunch of granny squares. I even remember being given the squares.
Three dozen are shades of blue with red(ish) centers. Another dozen and a half are not that size and are done in shades of brown. Still another dozen and a half are again not the same as the other two sizes, nor are they shades of any one color. These ones are mixed centers with a round of tan.
I'm using the blue squares and a granny join with a light silvery blue yarn from Lion Brand Vanna's Choice. I laid the squares out in a rectangular shape.
Being a right handed crocheter, I started on the right side with a standing double crochet in the right top corner of the bottom row of squares. I then went to the bottom right corner of the square just above and worked 3 double crochets. I moved back to the first square and worked 3 more double crochet in the first chain one space. Back to the top square and 3 double crochet stitches in the chain one space.
I continue across the rows moving back and forth. When the end of the row is reached, a single double crochet in the top row bottom left corner.
When all the rows are done going from side to side, I'll turn it 90* and repeat. At the junction a slip stitch between the two groups of 3 double crochets will keep it tidy.
I plan to add more granny squares around the outside edges equally. The goal for this is to go to a homeless shelter.
