Granny Square Afghan

RE: Granny Square Afghan By jami (Guest Post) Could you tell me how many squares it take to make a blanket or a throw Posted on 12/05/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Granny Square Afghan By daisylover (2) Profile Contact Your granny square afghan bed coverlet is absolutely beautiful! I taught myself to crochet and knit but I haven't crocheted in a very long time. My goal is to make one of these for our bed and one for my guest bed. I guess I should start learning the stitches again! Keep up the great work!

I did one like it 10 years ago, but I did mine with CHUNKY yarn and the darn thing weighs more than I do! I love anything to do with granny squares, keep up the hard work!

Thanks to all for the compliments, and to answer Nancy, Yes there are 8 rows of squares, 8 squares in a row. It is so easy to line it up and get it straight on our king size bed, as the overlap is one row of squares along the bottom and one row on each side. And my bonus is that due to arthrithis in my knee, I was experiencing a lot of pain during the nite...enough to wake me up. We had a heavy comforter over us, and when I would turn in my sleep, it would hurt my knee. This is as warm as that comforter was, but not nearly as heavy, and it eliminated the problem. This winter, my project is cutting and painting wooden yard art. I will be stockpiling for a craft show next September. And as a part of that project, putting together a CD with pictures of all my yard art pieces. Hope y'all had a wonderful Christmas.

Posted on 11/28/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Granny Square Afghan By Nancy (Guest Post) Hi...I love this afghan! Can you please tell me how many squares across and how many squares lengthwise were used? I was guessing at 8 across and 8 lengthwise...but I want to be sure. Thanks for the idea...Nancy.. serenityscornergallery AT yahoo.com Posted on 11/28/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Granny Square Afghan By mo.gal (2) Profile Contact Dear Harlean, Oh, how your beautiful afghan brings back wonderful memories for me. This was the first pattern my beloved mother taught me to crochet years ago. I can't remember how many squares I made that year, but enjoyed it so much, everyone I knew, and some I didn't, received a laprobe or small afghan made with granny squares! Since then, I have made many afghans and used many different patterns, but my very best loved one is and always will be the "granny square." Thank you so much for sharing the picture. You've done yourself proud!' Karen - Gainesville, Mo. Posted on 11/28/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse
