If you're looking for a granny square
0:01
that's a little bit more open and airy,
0:04
this lacy granny square is perfect for
0:06
all your summer projects. A traditional
0:08
granny square is a is a little bit more
0:10
dense. And all you need is one simple
0:13
little trick to turn your granny square
0:15
from something like this into something
0:18
a bit more open and lacy.
0:21
Keep watching and I'll show you just
0:22
how. So, I'm using some cotton yarn from
0:24
my stash. is an Aaron weight which is
0:26
the equivalent of US worststead and a
0:28
4.5 mm hook. So we're just going to
0:32
start by putting a slip knot on our hook
0:39
and chaining four. It's 1 2 3 4. We're
0:44
then going to join to that first chain
0:52
And then we're going to chain three.
0:54
This counts as our first double crochet.
0:56
And we're now going to start working
1:00
And I like to work over the tail as I
1:02
go. So, we're going to put two double
1:17
And I'm going to chain three for the
1:22
And then put another three double
1:24
crochet into that ring.
1:35
and three. Chain three again for the
1:39
Three more double crochet into the ring.
1:55
chain three for that next corner.
1:58
And we're going to put our last
2:00
cluster of three double crochets into
2:02
the ring. Sometimes known as a granny
2:10
There we go. And then we need another
2:12
chain three for that last corner space.
2:16
And then we're going to join to the top
2:17
of that chain three with a slip stitch.
2:26
And that's our first round finished. So
2:28
I'm going to fasten off so I can join a
2:30
new color. Okay, so we're ready to start
2:35
Just going to put my hook into any
2:37
corner space and pull that new yarn
2:41
through. And then chain three to start.
2:45
This counts as our first double crochet.
2:49
We're going to put two more double
2:50
crochet into that same space.
2:58
Then going to chain three for the
3:02
And then put three more double crochet
3:03
into that same space.
3:13
Now, here's where here's where we're
3:14
going to make our squares a little bit
3:16
more open and lacy. We're going to chain
3:20
before we work into the next corner. And
3:22
now we're ready to start our next
3:23
corner. So, it's three double crochet.
3:36
And then three more double crochet into
3:50
And now we're going across the side
3:51
here. So, we're going to chain one.
3:54
And then into the next corner space,
3:55
we're going to do our corner as normal,
3:58
which is three double crochet,
4:07
and three double crochet.
4:11
Having that extra chain space in the
4:13
corner and those chain spaces
4:16
in between the clusters is what gives
4:18
you that more open lacy look. So, we're
4:21
going to chain one again and then work
4:23
another corner into this last corner
4:52
And then we'll chain one and then join
4:55
with a slip stitch to the top of that
4:58
That's our second round finished.
5:04
So go ahead and fasten off and get ready
5:06
to join in your next color. Okay. So
5:08
just go for any corner space. Put your
5:13
draw through your yarn, and chain three.
5:18
And again, this counts as our first
5:21
And then we're going to finish working
5:27
which is two double crochet,
5:33
and then three double crochet.
5:36
So, this is the round that you're now
5:37
going to repeat. You'll just repeat this
5:39
round until your granny square is as big
5:41
as you want it to be.
5:44
So, we've just finished that corner.
5:45
We're going to chain one
5:48
and then we're going to look for the
5:49
next space across the side and we're
5:52
going to put three double crochet.
5:53
That's a granny cluster into that space.
5:59
three. And then we'll chain one again.
6:02
So on the following round, you're going
6:04
to have two of these spaces across the
6:06
side. So you'll just put your granny
6:09
cluster, chain one, granny cluster,
6:11
chain one, and then the corner. So
6:12
that's what you'll So you just repeat
6:14
across the side. So we're now ready to
6:16
go into this corner. And just as all our
6:18
corners are going to be, it's three
6:28
three double crochet.
6:39
Chain one. three double crochet into the
6:47
So, if you want a later round, you'll
6:49
just repeat that across the across the
6:51
top or the side of your square. Chain
6:53
one, and then we're going to work
6:55
another corner. So, you go ahead and
6:58
work your next corner. Three double
6:59
crochet, chain three, three double
7:00
crochet, chain one, three double crochet
7:04
into the next space, chain one. Then
7:06
you've got another corner, chain one,
7:08
granny cluster in that space, chain one,
7:10
and then we'll be joining to the top of
7:12
that first stitch there. So at the end
7:14
of the round, we're just going to join
7:15
to the top of that chain three.
7:18
And you could fasten off and join in
7:20
your next color. So after a few rounds,
7:22
