Granny Arrows Test Squares
I've been playing around with a new granny square type pattern... I'm calling it "Granny Arrows" because to me some of the stitches look like, well, arrows. I also think there are many directions you could take this pattern (see what I did there? haha). Let me know what you think of my different experimentations...
I made the first squares with six rounds. I tried a solid, diagonal, and multi-colored version.
(I love these colors together!)
I joined them with single crochet through the back loops. I think I like the nice crisp line between the squares.
Since the pattern is repetitive, it could be made bigger or smaller. Here I tried four rounds in different colors, and using "join-as-you-go," joined them with the same color for the fifth round. It could be good for making an afghan to use up scraps...
It's a pretty simple variation of the classic granny, but I like it! What do you think? What variation do you like best?
Hope you're all having a great week!
I like them all, but especially the multi-color one - it really shows the pattern. :)

I think the diagonal grannies look really cool, I would never have thought of doing that! :) The very last photo you have of the classic granny is my fave, I really like the colour combo you have for it :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!! After making the squares for the classic granny sampler, I think I got the itch to make a granny blanket with tons of fun colors...
DeleteHave a great day!

Hard to choose one.I really like the two color (half square diagonal) one, maybe because it is a quilt square too. LOL
ReplyDeleteYay , I LOVE your granny arrows Kate. Will you be sharing the pattern ?

Yes, especially since there seems to be a little bit of interest in it! I think I need to start working on a tutorial! :)
