My new favorite thing. A granny square apron. Isn't it perfect! I was browsing for projects to share the other day and came across this apron on Flickr. I fell in love with it and just had to have one. It's perfect with jeans and a t-shirt. Which happens to be my favorite attire. Here is how I made mine.
MATERIALS LIST:
Worsted Weight Cotton Yarn
Size U.S. H/8 (5.00mm)
Scissors
Tapestry Needle
Apron: Crochet 8 granny squares 4 rounds each. One square measures 5x5 inches. Assemble 2 rows of 4 squares each. Sew together. Weave ends.
Edging: Join main color with a slip st in any stitch on the outside edge of the apron. Work sc evenly spaced around, working 3 sc in each corner. Join with a slip st into beginning sc. Fasten off. Weave ends.
Tie: Ch 5. Hdc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across (4 hdc). Ch 1, turn. {Hdc in each hdc across (4 hdc), ch 1, turn}. Repeat {} until tie measures desired length. Fasten off. Weave ends.
Finishing: Line up center of apron and center of tie. Sew tie to the upper edge of the apron. Fasten off. Weave ends.
Amazing right!

Hey Sara, I love your granny square apron.
ReplyDeleteI think it would look fab as a 'mini skirt' over the jeans and not just an apron.
Love the colours , very striking.
Claire :)

ReplyDeleteI occasionally find bags of granny squares at my second hand store, crocheted and ready to be put together, but donated as is....this will be a great idea to put together some holiday colored ones i already have....a Christmas gift completed in June?

Thanks Candie! This is still one of my all time favorites. ♥
DeleteI have a pile of granny squares that I am ready to connect. Can you share how you sewed yours together. I tried slip stitching, but it seemed to stick up too much and didn't give it the "neat" look I was looking for. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI whip stitched them. Here's a video I found on YouTube that might be helpful... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBYfdRgy5II
DeleteHope that helps!

Today, I went to the beachfront with my children.
ReplyDeleteI found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She
placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
