This helped get my cro-jo back!

I haven’t been able to crochet in months due to my life getting busier and busier, which made me sad, but I found a fun design online that caught my eye (pun intended) and I just HAD to have the pattern. This crochet pattern was designed by WOMANWALKINGAWIRE and I purchased the pattern a few months ago. Whenever I had free-time to spare, I would crochet a little bit at a time and soon all the squares were piled up! Sewing all the squares together made the finish line that much closer! I am so incredibly proud of this piece. I learned that I love to crochet pieces that other amazing designers have created. It’s like cracking a code every time I read a new pattern and that’s what motivates me to keep going with my love of crochet.

This granny square design is called the Granny Eye Granny Square. You can find WOMANWALKINGAWIRE on all social platforms. I will link her socials below so you can follow her too!!

I learned that the designer of this square has so many other fabulous granny square designs written up too – they are all vibrant and extremely different than the typical crochet patterns I have seen in the history of crochet. I would highly recommend the patterns from this shop.

Below you will see my blanket creation from one square design.

I made 36 squares total and sewed them together and then used all the colors in a double crochet border around the whole piece. It turned out to be about 50 inches x 50 inches. I have been snuggled up on the couch with this blanket for days now.

I used 10 Premier Yarns in all their neon colors: Kiwi, Glass, Porcelain Blue, Bright Violet, Coral, White, Black, Bright Green, Bright Pink, and Highlighter

I used 3 balls of the black color and 2 balls of each of the other colors – so, 21 balls of yarn! I did have a little left over from each color that I might make a scrap hat or something else.

Once I finish a crochet project, it is very hard for me to move on with my crochet life and choose the next project. When I make something so massive, I try to make smaller items next which still helps me feel accomplished. Maybe a bag next, or a bucket hat, or even an amigurumi.
