I've been going back and rereading all the blogs that specialise in crochet and seeing which of their tutorials I could understand and attempt. My first stop was Attic 24 where I had a memory of a really cute granny square tutorial. I was so thrilled to find that I could understand the directions and even managed to teach myself the 'bobble' stitch. So I've been practicing my regular granny square and now my flower granny square.
the central part has the bobble stitch, then the grey is the first round of treble crochet |
the top is done on a 5.5mm hook, the bottom on a 4mm, trying out different sizes |
I think I might try the Japanese flowers next! I am going a bit crochet mad, but it's so exciting to be learning something new that's really firing my imagination.
