Pretty Daisy Bunting Free Crochet Pattern & Video Tutorial

Hello friends, it's been a while again since I last posted but here we are at last and with a new crochet pattern to share with you.  My Ditsy Daisy granny square has been so popular I thought why not use it to decorate your home.  So my granny square became a triangle and the triangle became this pretty daisy buntiing and who doesn't love a bit of bunting?

The perfect way to add a touch of colour and cheeriness to your home, or a childs room and I have made an acompanying video tutorial to work alongside the written pattern. 

As always an ad free pdf version of this crochet pattern is available in my online stores, thank you for helping to support my work...

Pretty Daisy Sachets - Our Happy CAL Place, weekly & monthly crochet along group...

Hello friends, this week at Our Happy CAL Place we have been making these super sweet, crochet sachets.  These would make a great last minute gift for someone, or add them to your draws and keep your clothes smelling fresh.  The pattern is called "Daisies" and is by Lisi Gonzalez.

The written instructions unfortunately, leave a lot to be desired and I think a beginner would have some problems understanding them.  I made a few changes to the pattern and have written up full instructions on my Ravelry page ,which you might find helpful, if you would like to make some for yourself.  Why not check out the Ravelry thread to see what everyone else has been making?

Here's my interpretation...

Daisies

The pattern doesn't give any suggested yarn or hook size, so you can leave that up to your own creative spirit to decide what you use.  I would however, recommend going down a hook size, to stop your stuffing from poking through.

I used an Aran weight cotton yarn with a 4.5mm hook.  Crochet flowers are great for experimenting with colour and I love working with pretty cotton yarns.  I stuffed my sachets with toy stuffing and added a scrap of fabric in the centre with a few drops of essential oils, making them smell as delicious as they look.  Some dried lavender would also be great in these...

Sunflower Granny Squares - Learn how to crochet them in this tutorial by Lullaby Lodge...

Hello friends, autumn is upon us, the air is crisp in the morning, the days are still warm with a last hint of summer and the leaves are starting to turn golden and fall off the trees.  What better way to celebrate the end of summer and the beginning of fall with this gorgeous, sunny, sunflower, granny square.

Sunflower Granny Square

Materials

Yarn

Darning needle

Hook

Use a hook recommended on your yarn ball band

Abbreviations US Terms (UK Conversion)

dc - double crochet (treble crochet)

sc - single crochet (double crochet)

tr - treble crochet (double treble crochet)

hdc - half double crochet (half treble crochet)

ch - chain

st(s) - stitch(es)

sp(s) - space(s)
sl st - slip stitch

cl - cluster

bcl - beginning cluster

ps - puff stitch

yo - yarn over

sk - skip

Special Stitches

Beginning cluster: ch2, [Yo, insert hook into st and pull up a loop, yo pull through 2 loops] x3, yo pull through all loops, ch1 to lock in place.

Cluster: [Yo, insert hook into st and pull up a loop, yo pull through 2 loops] x4, yo pull through all loops, ch1 to lock in place.

Puff stitch: [Yo, insert hook into st and pull up a long loop] x4, yo pull through all loops, ch1 to secure puff.

Other notes:  US terms throughout.  I used aran / worsted cotton yarn to make my squares with a 5mm (H) hook.  This creates a square that measures approximately 6 inches.  You can of course make your squares using any yarn, just use the hook size recommended on your yarn ball band, (this may change the size of your square).  When starting the first ps, pull up a loop to the height of the st, this looks more seamless than chaining 2 to start.

Granny Square

Ch4 and join with sl st to form ring.

Round 1 Ch1 (does not count as st), 12sc into ring, join to 1st sc.  (12sc)

Round 2 Ch1, sc in same st, [ch3, sc in next st] around, ch3, sl st to sc.  (12sc, 12 ch3 sps)

If you are starting a new colour, join in any ch sp.  If continuing with same colour, sl st to next ch sp.

Round 4 pull up a loop, ps in ch sp, ps in same sp, [2ps in next sp] around, sl st to top ps.  (24ps)

If you are starting a new colour, join in any ch sp.  If continuing with same colour, sl st to next ch sp.

Round 5 Bcl in same sp, ch1,  [cl in next sp, ch1] around, sl st to top bcl.  (24cl)

If you are starting a new colour, join in any ch sp.  If continuing with same colour, sl st to next ch sp.

Round 6 Ch4 (counts as tr), 2tr in same sp, ch2, 3tr in same sp, *3dc in next sp, 3hdc in next sp, 3sc in next sp, 3hdc in next sp, 3dc in next sp, [3tr, ch2, 3tr] in next sp* repeat from *to * 3 times, 3dc in next sp, 3hdc in next sp, 3sc in next sp, 3hdc in next sp, 3dc in next sp, join with sl st to top ch4.  (24tr, 24dc, 24hdc, 12sc)

These sunflowers would also make great coasters.  Simply omit round 6 and instead work 3sc in each ch sp around.

I really enjoyed designing this square and I think a blanket made with these squares would look fabulous.  What would you make with yours?  Let me know in the comments below...

I used this motif for the basis of a beautiful granny square scarf, you can find the video tutorial here...

The "Diane Rachael" granny square, a tutorial by Lullaby Lodge...

Hello friends, I have a really special pattern to share with you today, this pretty granny square.  Sadly a year ago we buried my sister Diane.  She suffered for many years from Multiple Sclerosis, a truly terrible disease.  I wanted to make something in her honour and so the Diane Rachael Square was born.  

My sister loved the colour yellow and even had her husband paint her room in yellow so it would cheer her up.  She also loved flowers particularly daffodils, so the square just had to be of a flower design in yellow yarn...
