#1 Design Measures 7 inches x 7 inches.

#2 is a Granny Square 4 leaf clover design that measures 10 inches x 10 inches

I also made this #2 Granny Square 4 leaf clover design in this color:

If you like the way the above picture looks, I started with a magic circle instead. If you want to learn how to make the magic circle, here is the link to the video tutorial: Practice video tutorial for the magic circle.  If you would like to learn more about what the magic circle is, here is the direct blog link: All about the magic circle.

The yarn that I chose was Hobby Lobby’s “I Love This Cotton Yarn” light green color and one of my new favorite Hobby Lobby yarns Yarn Bee Fresh Haven 100% Tencel yarn! I used the beige-colored yarn for my alternate color.

You can make a granny square afghan out of these beautiful finished squares and/or kitchen hot pads!! They make wonderful gifts! To check out more of my fun crochet hot pad/ potholders, here is the direct blog link: Helenmay Crochet kitchen Hot Pad Potholder Dresses

Welcome to my Granny Square Series! Our first Granny Square will, of course, be the Classic Design. I have added a few crochet granny squares that are mine, but as I started this crochet granny square series, I was finding amazing and FREE crochet Granny square PDF downloads! All of the following crochet granny square PDF downloads were free when the links were added to this blog post. ENJOY!!!

Remember Crochet Hook size, and yarn choice will change the size of your Granny Square.

If you have your own completed crochet granny square work, please share a picture with me on Facebook!

From Wikipedia:  Wikipedia Granny Square link.

“Although particular color and pattern schemes for granny squares change with time, this class of motif is a staple among crocheters. Multicolor granny squares are an effective way to use up small amounts of yarn leftover from other projects and basic granny square motifs do not require advanced skills to execute.”

“Any granny square begins with a small loop of chain stitches. Basic granny squares alternate sets of double stitches and chain stitches. Variant patterns use different stitch types or produce other geometric shapes such as hexagons. In order to achieve a distinct angle at the corners, the designer uses extra chain stitches.  Subsequent rounds are added by wrapping multiple stitches around the existing chain stitches. Hundreds of variant motifs are in use and entire books have been devoted to granny square designs.“

I made a PDF version of the picture that I like to carry around with me, when I am deciding what colors I want to use for the Granny Squares that I am making for my Afghan. The other PDF download shows you an example of a gorgeous afghan that uses different sized Granny Squares to complete it. It is not mine, but I would love to have it! They are free for you to download:

#1 Classic Granny Square

 

5May 2015: I made this You Tube video tutorial for the Classic Granny Square when “Yarnspirations” was collecting Granny Squares from people. There were a lot of free patterns, at the time, that they gave for people to use when making their Granny Squares. I shared some of the gorgeous color schemes in my video. This was also the only video tutorial where I actually ranted a little bit, and rightfully so! I just came to realize that it is an unfortunate part of creating, and it is now a tiny battle that I “rarely” have to fight behind the scenes. I haven’t had the same problem since the episode. Thank goodness because now YouTube has a new copyright detection which is amazing!

 

There are many different ways to crochet your Granny Squares together, and I may come back to this at some point in the future. If I do, you will see it here and on YouTube. For now, I like to sew my Granny Squares together. If you would like to see how I do it, here is the video tutorial:

All of the Crochet Heavenly Blessing Set items that you see in the pictures above were included in the set that 1 lucky winner received on 1May18. Congratulations Robyn!!

I decided to go with a different color for my Crochet PDF Written Pattern Heavenly Blessing Set, which includes: Scarf, hat, fingerless or flip mittens, and boot cuffs.

Here are the Direct Ravelry links for the Crochet PDF Written Patterns:

1. Crochet Heavenly Blessing Scarf PDF Written pattern.
2. Crochet Heavenly Blessing Hat.
3. Crochet Heavenly Blessing Fingerless and/or Flip Mittens.
4. Crochet Heavenly Blessing Boot Cuffs.

This yarn cake is A LOT larger than the yarn I used on the Video tutorial, but it is the same brand. So, I will be letting you know how many cakes of yarn you will need for each part of the set, and the total amount of cakes of yarn for the whole set.  I was able to use one Big Cake for both the Scarf and Flip Mittens!!!!

On Amazon, I tried to pick yarn choices for prices that I would pay for a similar yarn. Watch the prices, because sometimes they change depending on when I posted on my blog. You can change the search for different colors in the same yarn. The prices may vary depending on the yarn color. If you like the yarn that I used for the written pattern, I found it on Amazon, but it is a different color (Peppercream). It is still beautiful, click here to see it.  The color above is Plum Pudding, which is the color that I used. My favorite colored scarf was the one that I used in my video tutorial. I was able to find the color (buttercream) on Amazon, but I didn’t like the price. If you still want to check out the buttercream on Amazon, click here.  Here is another beautiful color (Red Velvet), with the same brand, click here.

 

 

The gorgeous crochet throw in the above-left picture was the free crochet pattern that came with one of my plum pudding colored yarns. You could make the same crochet throw, or you could use my Heavenly Blessing pattern for a similar throw. The above right picture was a free knit pattern that came with one of my plum pudding colored yarns too. For those of you that don’t knit, like me, you could use the knitting patterns for inspiration or different color schemes. I keep the free patterns that I get off of my yarn in a folder.

The alpaca plum colored chunky yarn crochet Heavenly Blessing Child’s Hat that I made, used up all of the yarn to make it. There was nothing left after finishing up with the pom pom.  If you like it, I used my 5.75mm crochet hook to make it. You can count the cross st and trinity st rounds in the picture above. I had to alter the size because I only had 1 skein of yarn in that particular color and yarn style. The width is 9 inches (18-19 head circumference, using the hat sizing chart) and the length is 7 to 7.5  inches.

1 Caron Big Cake Yarn can make a scarf and set of flip mittens, with a small amount of yarn left over. You will need a 2^nd Caron Big Cake Yarn for the hat, boot cuffs, coin purse, and water bottle holder.  You will still have yarn left over from the 2nd yarn cake.

  

Crochet Heavenly Blessing Matching Boot Cuffs Step-by-Step YouTube Video Tutorial:

 

I like to use my matching yarn to sew the purse frame to my crochet work. However, this can be difficult on the curved portion of the purse frame. An easier alternative would be to use a matching yarn thread instead. Another recommendation would be to center the two large holes on each side, after securing the purse frame in the front middle portion. The large holes tend to rub on the crochet work (as you are sewing the purse frame to the crochet work and may fray your yarn.

Crochet Heavenly Blessing, matching Coin Purse. There is no Crochet Written pattern for the coin purse at this time. Here is the step-by-step YouTube video tutorial showing you how I made it:

On YouTube video tutorial, I show how to crochet 2 different sizes: up to 12 months and 3-6 months. I will also show both sizes on this written pattern. I will start with the smaller crochet baby bootie, and show the differences with the larger bootie.

SMALLER SOLE: I started with Royal Blue Colored Yarn.

-Ch14. Starting ch. (***Larger Sole was a ch20 Starting chain)

-Make 3dc into the 4th ch from the hook, then 1dc into the next 2 stitches, 1hdc into the next st., 1dc into the next 3 stitches, 1 tr into the next 3 stitches, (***Larger sole is 1tr in next 6 st), 9tr into the last st. Working in rounds, turn your work to make crochet stitches on the opposite side of your starting chain. Make 1tr into the next 3 stitches (***Larger sole is 1tr in next 6 st), then 1dc into the next 3 stitches, 1hdc into the next st, and 1 dc into the next 2 st, then 3dc into the last st, which is the same st your first 3dc were made. Slst into the top st of the first ch3 that you made. (34 total) (***Larger sole 46 total)

***This is the time that you can measure the sole of your baby shoe, and determine if it is the correct size, before you continue on. Use your free downloadable PDF baby bootie sizing chart to compare it to. When you look at my Larger Sole differences, you will see where I made changes in the size of my initial ch, and in the crochet stitches to alter the size. That way you will see how you can alter the stitches in the sole to get different sole sizes for your baby bootie.

-Using your stitch markers: Place a stitch marker in the following stitches: 5,6,13,14,17,18,29,30, and 33. (***Larger sole stitch markers: 7,9,22,25,26,40,42,47)

-Place your yarn marker before starting your next round (To help keep track of the rounds and stitch count). Make 1sc into the next st and every st around, except for the stitches that contain a stitch marker. Place 2sc into the same st that contains a st marker. Slst into the top st of the first ch3 that you made. Double check your stitch count before going on further. (43 total) (***Larger sole 54 total)

-Move your yarn marker up. Make 1sc into every st around for 3 rounds. (43 total) (***Larger sole is same st count as previous round, unless otherwise specified).

Decrease rounds– Your decrease stitches should be centered around the front of the bootie.

-Make 1sc into 9 stitches, then make 10 hdc2tog stitches. Make 1sc into each of the remaining stitches. (33 total) (***Larger sole: Make 1sc in 17 st, then 12 hdc2tog total st count 42)

-Make 1sc into 9 stitches, then make 6 hdc2tog stitches. Make 1sc into each of the remaining stitches. (27 total) (***Larger sole: Make 1sc in 13st then 8 hdc2tog total st count 34)

-Make 1sc into 9 stitches, then make 3 hdc2tog stitches. Make 1sc into each of the remaining stitches. (24 total) (***Larger sole: Make 1sc into 12 st then 5 hdc2tog total st count 29)

The wave st requires a multiple of 5 or 10. The small sole has a multiple of 5, which is “25” and the large sole has a multiple of 10, which is “30.” You have just completed the bottom portion of the wave st.

For the next round, we are going to start our second crochet wave stitch design with our new color.

-Ch3 (This ch3 should be directly over the previous rows first sc), make 1dc into the next 4 st. *Make 1sc into the next 5 st, and then make 1dc into the next 5 st.

Your anchor appliqué is now ready to be sewn on your Crochet Wave of Love Baby Booties. Line up the anchor on the front of your baby bootie. I started sewing the loop of the anchor first, sewed down the center of the anchor, lined up the bottom of the anchor (make sure it isn’t crooked), sewed the bottom of the anchor in place, and then sewed the anchor chain in place. There is a separate video tutorial for the Crochet Waves of Love Baby Hat, Security Blanket, and Baby Blanket.
