Granny Square a Week-Week Thirty Nine

This is a very simple and cute one. You don't need a pattern but I will share where I got the idea from:

Tawashi Set, Version D by Pierrot Yarns

I did my edging slightly different-I joined at a corner, chain 1 and did  a sc in each stitch and chain 1 space around, and 3 sc in the corners. When you get to where you started, you make one more sc and join.

My fiance chose these colors! LOL This was done with Red Heart Super Saver in Pumpkin, a  generic $1 bin yarn that is neon green and Vanna's Choice in Aqua.

Until Next Week!

Simple one color square this week:

Diamonds Are Forever by Melissa Dalton

Only adjustment was a correction that is not shown in the pattern itself, but the comments. It is for Round 5:

Correction: Rnd 5: sl in nxt dc, then in ch sp (ch3, dc, ch2, 2 dc) in ch sp, ^skip 1 dc, dc in next 3 dc, ch 1, skip st, dc in ch 1 sp, dc in next dc, dc in ch 1 sp, ch 1, sk st, dc in next 3 dc, sk 1 dc, (2dc, ch2, 2dc), repeat from^ twice more ………rest as written

An easy and quick square, very simple and pretty. Would make a great afghan with just these squares!

I stopped at round 10, purely because I felt it was big enough and round 11 did not interfere with the aesthetics.

This was done with Bernat Softee Baby in Princess Pebbles

Just as a note: the yarn in the alternate square is a #3 light weight, so it may appear smaller than the main color square.

Until Next Week!

This week's square is:

Box Fan by Donna Kay Lacey

And it is actually my SECOND square for this week. The first one I had selected was such a mess, I could not get it to work. And after nearly an entire day working to get it to come together, I threw it out. Unlike me, yes, but I don't advocate driving yourself insane.

Now this pattern is awesome! It comes out pretty and works up very fast. It is super simple, too- just the same 2 stitches over and over in different multiples. Which is what creates the pattern that resembles a fan. You can be as intricate or as simple as you wish. I went with the straight single colored block but there are a few awesome ideas on the Ravelry page.

Done with Red Heart Super Saver in Honeydew, which is far prettier than what this picture shows.

Until Next Week!

Up for this week:

Four Hearts Square by Deb Y.

Very quick, easy and adorable square. No adjustments at all. I did both these squares in 45 minutes. And I think it took that long because I stopped in between the two to scroll around on Facebook. Hehe

So here they are:

This was done with Red Heart Gumdrop in Smoothie and Bernat Super Value in Lilac

Until Next Week!
