Another Granny Stripe

Just completed this “Granny Stripe Variation” Afghan that I started last year as a sample piece for a crochet class at The Studio.  It’s made from Red Heart Soft yarn and it is very soft.  I completed the same blanket in a bulky yarn for the class…see it here...and wanted the students to see the difference in how the stitches look in the different size yarns as well as how fast the bulky yarn works up compared to worsted weight yarn.  I like the fun color combination.  It matches the bulky one that I gave to my niece at Christmas.  She like it too!

Just completed a crocheted Granny Stripe Combo pattern in a blanket for an upcoming crochet class at The Studio.  I was asked by a couple of our best clients to offer some options for a simple yet beautiful pattern for blankets and lap throws.

I saw this one several times on Pinterest and loved the look of it with the change in colors and raised stitches from the pattern change.  Plus the best part is that it is all double crochet stitches and a great way to learn one of the hardest things for new crocheters – where to put the last stitch on a row in order to keep the edges straight.

A bonus for the class will be this very easy but nice edging that can be used on most any blanket.  The date for this class will be announced soon.

Crochet has become very popular again.  Maybe it’s the retro feel of it; maybe it’s because people want a fun hobby they can do that will wind them down at the end of the day.  Who knows?  But there is no denying that crochet is in again.

We have had so many people take crochet classes at The Studio and we are offering even more.  This week (Tuesday) we have a Crochet Flowers class.  Learn to make  beautiful flowers that can be used to embellish hats, blankets, etc.  And then on Sunday we have a Granny Square class where we will learn to make traditional Granny Squares as well as some that are NOT your Grandmother’s Granny Square.  Why don’t you come join us?
