Granny Hearts

Happy first week of Spring! I hope the weather is warming up wherever you may be!

For the past few weeks we have been have been working with granny squares and granny stripes, making a table runner, a baby blanket, and a colorful spring blanket. This week we combine a granny square and a heart to make colorful heart motifs. The Granny Heart is easy to make, works up quickly, and is fun to do! It starts with the classic granny square for the first few rounds and then we work the heart magic turning the square into a heart!

Here we go a skein, fresh off the hook:

                                        Granny Hearts

There are many uses for Granny Hearts! They can be used as as appliques to brighten up a jacket, skirt, or backpack. You can use them to make a garland or bunting, as an ornament, a coaster or simply give them to someone you love!


The pattern includes instructions to make a garland (bunting) and attaching a string or ribbon to make an ornament.


or you can make Heart Coasters!


Share the love with family, friends, and co-workers by hooking up some of these colorful Granny Hearts!

Have a hooky day! Lynne

Granny Squares and Stripes Blanket

Happy Friday!                                                                                    As March moves on we get closer and closer to Spring! The weather is warming up, the trees and the daffodils are starting to bloom and Spring break is right around the corner. It is time to bring out the Spring and Summer crochet!

Our third pattern for Granny Square month is a combination of granny squares and granny stripes fashioned into a colorful Spring Blanket. I just love blankets that brighten up the room!

Here we go a skein, fresh off the hook:

                                     Granny Squares and Stripes Blanket


This pattern consists of Sunburst granny squares, mini granny squares, granny stripes, and a colorful edging. The sunburst granny square gives this blanket a different look, but if you like the traditional granny squares you can replace the sunburst granny squares with traditional ones, just make sure your squares are 4 x 4 inches (10cm x 10cm).

This project is not as quick to make, since you have to make the granny squares, join them together and add the granny stripe rounds, so if you are looking for a easy to make blanket that provides a little challenge, this blanket is for you!

Have a hooky day! Lynne
