I really like this little square. It's easy but has enough eye-catching elements to make it interesting. I added more rounds on it to make it 8 inches.

I wasn't crazy about this square at first, but after I added the extra rounds to make it 8 inches, it grew on me.

Hook used: H

Yarn Used: Hobby Lobby's I Love this Yarn Grey Beard, Peacock, and Hot Rose.

Finished size: 8"

Every thing I love all in one square. A flower, lacy holes, and Popcorn stitches! I love this design. And the full afghan made from this squares looks soo cool because of the way the corners make up their own design.

Pattern: Mini Mochi Flower Garden by  Susan Druding & Gail Tanquary

Hook used: H

Yarn Used: Hobby Lobby's I Love this Yarn Grey Beard, Peacock, Old Leaf, and Sungold.

This pattern actually makes up a shawl and is made from varigated yarn. I like it, but it's not my favorite. I should have added some more interesting elements to it. 

164/365 - Sunny Spread

Pattern: Sunny Spread by Ellen Gormley

Hook used: H

Yarn Used: Hobby Lobby's I Love this Yarn Grey Beard, Peacock, and Sungold.

This makes a really dense square so it would really be a perfect bed spread. I like the texture created from the front-post dcs.

Pattern: Framing a Flower Square by Aurora Suominen

Hook used: H

Yarn Used: Hobby Lobby's I Love this Yarn Grey Beard, Sungold, Hot Rose, Peacock and Old Leaf.

I love this square a lot! I think I added interest to it by doing the frames in a rainbow of bright colors.

162/365 - Weekend in Stockholm

Pattern: Weekend in Stockholm by Debbie Stoller

Hook used: H

Yarn Used: Hobby Lobby's I Love this Yarn Grey Beard, Hot Rose, Sungold, and Peacock.

Finished size: 8"

This one definitely has to be blocked if you use an H hook for it.Yeah… I just realized this is the exact same patter as the the first square I made for this project, The Tricolor Square from the 200 Crochet Blocks book. So if you're looking for a free alternative to that pattern, this is it.

I'm on vacation this week, so I worked ahead to be able to share my grannies with you this week. With that said, I took all these photos at 3am this morning so yeah… there was flash action and they're a little more saturated than normal.

Yay for posting blogs from Dairy Queen :)

Pattern: Raspberry Medallion Square by Sally Ives

Hook used: H

Yarn Used: Hobby Lobby's I Love this Yarn in  Grey Beard, Hot Rose, Ivory, Old Leaf, and Peacock.

Finished size: 8"

I had issues with this pattern, but I think it was just general exhaustion and not paying attention. It's not that hard. I really like the texture this pattern creates. 

Well I looked and I have 12 more squares to make for this blanket! Exciting right?! 

And since this is the last day of the month, I have a calendar view of this month's grannies.
