I have been working on this: a butterfly granny square pattern. A few weeks ago, one of my readers asked if I could upgrade this free butterfly crochet pattern into a butterfly granny square pattern. So I did. And I am pleased with the result.
And so there you have it:
The final granny square looks like this, with a happy scallop edge. Now it’s a project on its own.
I had to redo the work a couple of time before I got the spacing and the color scheme right.
I thought to treat you some close-ups of the wonderful effect of the 3D butterfly in the pattern:
The scallop edge not only gives the square that ‘finished’ look, it also makes for easy linking of granny squares in case you want to make a larger piece of work with it.
And a view from the other side ….
This is what the butterfly granny square looks like before adding the final border. I often put a crochet project on top of a pillow as it makes the most fantastic pillow applique’, I believe. What do you think?
Great Applique’
I can equally see this as the front of a happy Spring/summer tote bag in a repeated pattern, or as a single applique’ adorning the front of a (little/big) girl’s bag. And of course, it’s the perfect size for a kitchen potholder as well. So many good ideas…
Either or with or without the scallop border, the granny squares can easily be crocheted together with a contrasting color in between.
