MY DESIGN IDEAS AND ADVICE
Sometimes you just want to return to something familiar, something comforting – like an old favourite you know by heart. For many crocheters, that’s the granny square. Granny squares can grow into big, beautiful blankets if you get hooked on making them… but what if you only want to crochet a few over a couple of evenings or a long weekend?
That’s where this design comes in. With just five squares you can make a headband. Ten squares become a narrow scarf. And if you add another ball of yarn, twenty squares turn into
a longer, wrap-around scarf.
For experienced crocheters it’s good to know that one 100g hank of this aran weight yarn makes 10 squares.
CONSTRUCTION
Crochet from the middle out to make squares which are crocheted.
TECHNIQUES USED
UK Terms. Slip knit, slip stitch, chain, trebles.
YARN
One 100g hank of WYS Croft Aran.
100% Shetland wool,166m/176yds per 100g
Makes 10 squares
SUGGESTED HOOK
5mm.
GAUGE (tension)
One square of four rounds is approx. 10cm x 10cm. I obtained this gauge with 5mm hook.
It is important to obtain gauge so do swatch and change your hook size to achieve the correct gauge if you need to.
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
For headband & cowl: approx. 10cm wide x 50cm using 5 squares.
For scarf: approx. 10cm wide x 100cm using 10 squares.
