Four Leaf Clover Granny Square Blanket
-
Pattern: Four Leaf Clover Granny Square by Apinya Roszko
-
Hook: H (5.0 mm)
-
Yarn: Knit Picks Brava 500 in colorway Mint & Loops and Threads Impeccable in Colorway 01808
-
Center square (in darker green)- 4g. Three rounds on outside of clover (in mint)- 12g
-
Size: 6 inch square.
-
Planning 5x7 blanket (30x42") before border.
-
Modification- the pattern calls for attaching new yarn (at the end of the square) to make the stem for the clover. I just chain to get to the center, make the stem and cut the yarn. I find it easy to crochet the granny square around it in Mint. No issues and one less end to weave in.
-
I am joining squares as I go. I used this
YouTube tutorial to remind me how to do this.
-
Progress: Nearly done with 6 of 7 rows. 6 squares left. Should be finished Labor Day weekend.

Quote of the Week
"I can tell he lost someone close somehow. You can feel that in people, an openness, or maybe it's an opening that you're talking into. With other people, people who haven't been through something like that, you feel the solid wall. Your words go scattershot off of it."
