Granny Square Glove


The easiest glove ever!

Granny Squares are one of my favourite things to make. If like me you crave a quick granny square fix this speedy project is for you. I’ve been making these for years and especially enjoy gifting them.

Materials:

I’ve used Knitcraft Leader of the Pac Aran in colours - Cream - Pink - Wine.

(Any yarn will work with right size hook)

5.mm hook

Yarn needle

Stitches used:

Dc (double crochet) or UK (treble)

Ch (chain)

Sp (space)

Notes:

Crochet yourself two seven - round granny squares; you can make them bigger or smaller, depending on hand size.

Ch3 at beginning of each round counts as a dc.

The only chain stitches are used in corner spaces.


Make two

Round 1: ch4, 2 dc into the first ch, ch2, 3dc, ch2, 3dc , ch2, 3dc (all in the same st). (4 dc, 4 ch 1 sp) sl st to join, fasten off.

Round 2: join new colour in any ch2 sp, ch3, 2 dc into the same sp, ch2, 3dc into same sp. (3dc, ch2, 3dc) in each ch2 sp around. ( 8 3dc, 4 ch1 sp) sl st to join, fasten off.

Round 3: join new colour in any ch2 sp, ch3, 2dc into same sp, ch2, 3dc into same sp. (3dc) in next sp, (3dc, ch2, 3dc) in next ch2 sp. Repeat pattern to end of round, sl st to join. Fasten off.


Round 4: onwards: simply repeat round 3 until you reach your desired size.


When you have finished both squares, fasten off and sew in loose ends. Fold the squares in half sew up the sides leaving a hole for your thumb.


It’s as easy as that!

left over yarn from your wool and the gang kit? why not turn it into a stunning wall hanging

What do you do with your left over yarns? I had some gorgeous left over crazy sexy wool from a jumper kit I received from the awesome Wool and the Gang. The jumper I made is called the heart of mine jumper. The kit comes with everything you need to make it the right amount of yarn in any colour of your choice the pattern and crochet hook. The pattern is very easy to follow and you can make it in no time at all I chose the colour Cameo rose, such a pretty colour, crazy sexy wool is so squishy and soft to touch, imagine how lovely this jumper is to wear.

I was very happy with my new jumper, and even more happy because I nearly had a whole skin of crazy sexy wool left over.  I wanted to make something visual and special with this last piece of yarn also this Cameo rose colour is so pretty and calming I could stare at it all day long that's why I decided to make a cute chunky wall hanging.

How to make a wall hanging

​

​

Materials

​

150g of crazy sexy wool

15mm crochet hook

yarn needle

any stick you can hang your square on.

​

​

The square is called a square inside a square, the pattern is not my pattern, I found it on Pinterest from hooksandyarns.blogspot.com. I made my square in just one colour. You can use any pattern really, I just love the look and texture you get when using this pattern. When you have finished your square sew in all the ends. Now to attach some tassels, I put one tassel through every stitch at the bottom of my square.

​

How to make your tassels

​

With one piece of yarn 24cm long, fold it in half with the loop at the end, then push it through your first stitch, then gently pull the yarn threads through your stitch and loop and tighten, repeat till the very last stitch. Don't worry if some of your tassels are longer then the others, you can give them a little trim once you've finished.

​

Attaching your stick

​

Using your yarn needle, sew the stick onto the square, attach another piece of yarn to each end of your stick which you will use to hang your wall hanging.

​
