Pattern: Flower Granny Square by Silja Devine
Pattern: Spring Breeze Afghan Square by Priscilla Hewitt
Hook Size: 3.5mm (E)
Modifications: I added rounds of SC and DC to bring each square to 8".
Comments: Maybe it's the never-ending snow and the winter that just won't quit, but lately I've been of a mind to crochet blanket squares.
The Flower Granny Square is one of my particular favourites, in no small part because it works up exactly as pictured and it makes a nicely flat and even square.
This is my first go with the Spring Breeze afghan square and it's another great pattern. Worked in one colour it's a bit more subtle, but still a really gorgeous square.
My plan is to get these three squares into the post today for a group blanket project. Gavin and I are away on vacation in just a few weeks, so I want to clear up some WIPs before then. Next up will be a pair of socks that have been on needles for a couple of weeks, and a sweater that just needs a sleeve and a half, leaving me with just a Retro Circles Blanket on the go. That looks like the perfect take-along project for airplane knitting!
Happy Friday one and all. We've just climbed above 0° so here's hoping a whole bunch of snow melts today!

Love your squares! How fun to do a group blanket project. Love that!
I really love those squares! What a pretty flower detail.
I love your choice of colours, specially the natural square with the little flower in the centre. We have had a nasty winter here in the UK too but rain and flooding, not snow. But just week the weather has changed and we have sunshine - so welcome
Perfect squares! Love them!
That flower almost appears like it's floating on the square. Very pretty.
You got some great outcomes with this Granny square pattern. The colors are terrific.
They are ALL pretty, but I love the one with two colors. That's a very cute pattern.
Very nice , both squares are beautiful . I really like the flower granny square , must give it a try .
We're off to Florida in a couple of weeks , can't wait to get some warmth . This winter has been brutal .
It's just now above 0? No wonder you have a trip planned!
I love the squares. Someday I'm going to learn how to do them.
Pretty squares! Hope your weekend was fine and wish you an even better new week!
