Granny Square a Week-Week Fifteen

This week I have decided to do 2 different squares. The first is in my main colors and it is a wee bit complicated, but not terribly so.

Tulip Discloth by Doni Speigle

It is technically a pattern for a dishcloth but can be adapted to our use. It comes out quite pretty. I had to add a third color since it was not conducive to my 2 color scheme.

There were no adjustments. Just follow the pattern very carefully since there are a lot of intricacies:


The second pattern isn't so much the pattern of the main square, but rather the addition to it. It is a cute little fox face! I just worked up a solid granny square underneath (I made a quick blog for a solid Granny Square Pattern in case anyone has need. It is basic and can be found anywhere, but I figure I would include it for quick reference) and made the face to attach. Now the only issue: the pattern is in German and I don't speak or read a lick! Thankfully there was a chart accompanying this and since charts are universal, it is easy to read.

Waldtier-Granny-Squares(Forest Animals Granny Squares) by Halitha


She also has a deer and a little sparrow. In case anyone wants to tackle this, I translated the stitches from German and added the chart symbol next to it:





And the final adorable product!
