Bluebird’s Granny Crochet Along ran from 25 October to 13 December 2016.

This is a real back to basics with a few twists a turns. The crochet along is predominately the granny stitch and is in homage to my late grandmother who was a prolific crocheter, making granny square cushion covers, but whom failed dismally to teach me in her life time, she would be so proud of my efforts so it felt fitting I go overboard on granny stitch for her.

You will need ….

The colours you use or the order you use them in throughout this afghan is completely up to you. It would work wonderfully as a scrap blanket but I feel needs at least three colours. I have used Stylecraft Special DK 100g balls in the following colours and quantities

Mocha – 5 balls, Plum – 3 balls, Clematis – 3 balls, Duck egg – 3 balls, Pistashio – 3 balls

So in total 17 balls or 5,015 meters or 5,484 yards, she’s a real yarn eater but just as good as a stash reducing machine. It is worth noting now that the final three rows of the border which I have done in one colour takes a whole ball (295 meters)
