Granny Square a Week-Week Forty Seven

For this square we are doing something a little different. This week is my daughter's 14th birthday! And in honor of that I made a square for both afghans that reflect one of her most favorite things: My Little Pony, specifically Rainbow Dash's cutie mark. Which looks like this:

I made a basic granny square out of blue-lucky enough my one color for my main afghan is very very close to the color blue that Rainbow Dash is. 

Then I made the cloud. I had to write my own pattern because I couldn't find one anywhere that 1-worked and 2-didn't charge an arm and a leg for (I understand you have to charge for your artistic ability but $9 for a pattern of a cloud that takes less than 5 minutes to make is ridiculous).

Here is the pattern:

Chain 10

Row 1-place a sc in 2nd chain from the hook and every chain there after (9 sc).

Row 2-Turn and make a sc in every stitch on the row

Row 3- Turn and make a sc in every stitch on the row

Now we are going to work in the round(which is different from a row in that you don't turn, you work continuously around)

Round 4- Turn, slip stitch in next stitch, in next stitch make 4 dc. Repeat that 3 more times. Slip stitch in last stitch, and turn the cloud on its side make 4 dc in the side of the cloud (try to aim  toward the middle row but it isn't a big deal if it doesn't land there). Turn again and make a sc in every stitch in the bottom of the chain. When you get to the end turn on it's side and make 4 dc in a stitch on the other side. Slip stitch into the first stitch on that round. 

Sew in ends and attach to your square.

For the lightening I just did basic embroidery. I am not very good at it LOL so I won't even attempt to tutorial it.

Since I just made two of these in the same colors, I will only share one picture this week.

Until Next Week!
