Granny 8 Game !NEW!

The Agnes Sweater Vest is a fun and easy crochet project that is great for using up leftover yarn. This tutorial goes through every step of making this granny square sweater including tools and yard used, and tips for adjusting the sweater design to fit your desired measurements. I hope that reading through my notes will inspire you and help give you a starting point to make your own!

These are the supplies that I used to make my Agnes Sweater Vest but feel free to use whatever you have on hand. You may want to experiment with a different yarn weight, needle size or bigger or smaller granny squares to make it your own.

In total, I made 25 granny squares and laid them out like the picture below. The back has one more row than the front and I have only one square to connect at the sides. If you want more ease on the sides, you can add another square, or even connect the sides with crochet rows.

I don't know about you, but I always love seeing crocheted afghans and blankets folded up on the back of a chair or at the foot of a bed. I wish I could say that I had an heirloom afghan that inspired this quilt, but after watching all seasons of Parks & Rec about 10 times, seeing one on the back of Ann's couch over and over definitely made me fall in love with the granny square. Then when we moved to Black Mountain and started leasing studio space above the Black Mountain Yarn Shop, I found myself surrounded by even more granny squares, which got me that much more excited about having a "granny square" inspired quilt. Since I shared about this design, I've had several of you reach out to share about your own heirloom granny square blankets, which has been so sweet to see. This quilt has turned into a nod to tradition and a marriage of both crochet and quilting. I LOVE it!

I really love how the Foreground fabrics play with the Roasted Pecan in this quilt. I wanted this quilt to be an explosion of color. You'll see with the other Granny Patch samples (more to come this week!), none of them are "safe" and predictable. When thinking about things that my granny made, she loved using color and very rarely (if ever?) created something neutral that was soft and muted. And the same is true when I think about granny square afghans...they normally have tons of color and vibrancy, and my goal was to lean into that so that the Granny Patch quilts had the same vibe as a vintage/ retro afghan.

This ranking of granny sh*ts apples is too generous. For years my parents tortured me- mind, body, and soul- with these abominations in my lunch box. Every day I faced a choice between starvation and plaguing my stomach. Some days I was able to resist, others I succumbed. The bitter horrors I experienced still wake me up at night.

The idea of the cartoon Granny began with the Little Red Riding Hood character in spoofs of the story, first appearing as such in the 1937 animated short Little Red Walking Hood which featured Egghead, directed by Tex Avery.[5] Subsequent appearances of a similar "granny" character included The Cagey Canary (1941), directed by Bob Clampett; Hiss and Make Up (1943), directed by Friz Freleng; and Hare Force (1944), featuring Bugs Bunny and Sylvester the dog (a one-off character distinct from the later Sylvester the cat). Finally, the character was solidified into her current role in Canary Row in 1950, with Bea Benaderet providing her voice. June Foray, who had been providing Granny's voice for her appearances on Capitol Records since 1950,[6] took over the role officially in 1955, and would perform the role for most of the rest of the character's theatrical run. Granny would continue to appear in several more animated shorts from the 1950s on, as a foil for Sylvester, who was always attempting to eat her pet bird Tweety.

Of course I would love to make an afghan with this square pattern, but I need more time and patience to take on that type of project right now ? If you are interested in making a blanket with these squares and want to alternate between the owl granny square and a basic granny square, you can follow a basic granny square pattern like THIS ONE and your squares will be the same size.

These are the cutest granny squares I've ever seen! I'm just learning how to crochet so I'm adding this to my list of projects to tackle when I'm ready ? I'd love for you to link up to my link party going on right now:

Just wanted to share the project I made with mine, though since I worked from the original guest post I hadn't spotted your suggested matching plain granny squares, so invented my own which didn't quite perfectly match in size. Still quite pleased with the results:

Thanks so much for a lovely owl-pattern. I have included the owl in a grannysquare-blanket I made for a little boy's first birthday. Today I have presented it in the blog I and my best friend write. I sure will try some of your other chrochetpatterns in the future!

Hey! Since I never heard back from you, I went ahead and started making the owlghan as I've affectionately begun calling it, and have gotten so far as to be working on the edging now. Here's a post on my blog on which you've been featured: -joining-comments-granny-pattern.html

Hi! Great pattern! It's so fun and different. I'm a new crocheter and I'm not the best at reading patterns. I suggest to anybody else new at crocheting who may be attempting this pattern to have the regular Granny Square mastered first. I tried to make the owl square before I learned the granny square and it kept coming out round. After I made the granny square and figured out how to math-it-out the owl square became square in my next attempt.

Thank you so much for this Owl Granny Square, I love it. I just made one and it's too cute, I think I'll make an afghan, pillow and who knows what else. Just a bit of advise for a beginner, practice a few granny squares before making your first one, I think this will help you. Thanks again!

Does Anyone happen to have a picture that they could post of the back of a finished owl granny square? I'm just wanting to see if the stitching to the embellishments is supposed to be visible or hidden. Thanks!

Hello, I would like to say "Thank you" for sharing your gorgeous owl pattern. This is exactly what I am looking for. It has been many years since I've crocheted an am Looking forward to being creative once again. My husband passed away just ten months ago, being along in a town we had recently retired to. I decided I surely needed to once again start a hobby I had truly loved. I have no doubt it will take a bit to recall all the stories. I have an adult daughter that loves owls an is crazy about them. I know when I finish and send this beautiful patterned owl in a large throw (that's what I'm hoping to make her) she will be over the moon.

Not crocheting in such a long time I am at a loss for how much yarn I should order. I do plan to create the throw output purples as purple is her favorite color. I plan to use the owl squares and the granny squares as I'm wanting to make this quite large. My problem, I'm at a loss for how much yarn I will need along with what purples. I am hoping you can help me with just what I will need. As I wrote I will be ordering on line. being handicapped I can't get to the stores myself. My wonderful husband who was a retired Veteran did my shopping. I'm sorry for such a long post but I honestly didn't know of anyone I could ask for advice with this. I have bookmarked this page so I can find the instructions again an would be extremely grateful for any reply's with some helpful advise. I also haven't purchased yarn in forever, or as it seems. O:) any advice as to the name brand of a yarn that is good quality but isn't all that costly would be nice to know.

I don't know if I am allowed to add my email address here for any reply's but I will list it and hope it will be okay.

Please excuse my long post, I hope you or someone will be so kind and help with the amount of total yarn for the throw along with the colors needed.

I thank you kindly for any and all in advance.

Warmest regards,

Addie. [email protected]

Millie's Closet would make for awesome granny square blocks!

What the heck, I'll join in the madness, er, fun. I'm still working on my Sew Cherry granny square quilt, but another would be fun. I've got some PKM scraps that need a good home.

I am totally joining the granny square along! I found this on Pinterest, followed over to your blog and now "sew" excited to start! :) Just joined the flickr group and am adding the button to my blog now. I am excited!

Lori i was on Pinterest and saw that you were having a quilt along. I can't believe that i almost missed it. You know i love everything that you do. Since i want to be just like you when I grow up I am joining in on the party. I think that your Milley fabric would be perfect for the retro granny square. I also like your version that is bigger. As always you are awesome!!!

I've been wanting to make granny squares even though I am not a granny ... I'll call them greataunt squares. Thanks for the chance to enter your giveaway and sew along too. I'm unsure as to what you mean by background fabric, but will re-read some. I'm waiting for flickr to finish the join and don't blog so no button. Dial-up is so slow! e24fc04721
