Double - Layered Lace Flower Granny Square

Double-Layered Lace Flower Granny Square 

Double-Layered Granny Square.  This is just putting two regular 
granny squares together then adding an additional row 
to sew them together. 
The granny squares have 5 rows then 1 more additional row to put them together.
Then sew on the Lacey Flower with 
a yarn needle and matching yarn.  Sew a bead or button onto the center.
Make 16 double-layered squares.  Each square will have a bead.


Project Supplies
N Crochet Hook
Yarn Needle
Matching Thread
16 Beads or Buttons
Small Crochet Hook 
(To Hide Short Threads) 
Double Crochet - Single Crochet
Easy
 I used # 4 weight yarn.
32 Squares
I used 24 

for Smaller One
18 Squares

Yarn Supplies
Red Heart Stripes - 6 skeins
Solid Turquoise Yarn

Lacey Flower Applique
Make a Magic Ring = MR  - Follow Here To See MR
Double Crochet = DC 12 times in the MR
The first DC is a Ch = Chain 3
Slip Stich = SS closed at the top of the beginning chain 3
Pull the center yarn thread to tighten the center closed.

Now Ch 4 in the same space the SS into the same space making a loop.  
*Single Crochet = SC into the next space Ch 3. SS into the same space making a loop. 
Continue at * until you put a loop into each space.  SS close at the bottom of the first chain 4.
Tighten the center yarn thread again.  Cut the thread from the yarn supply then weave the yarn thread to the center with your yarn needle.  Tie the two center threads together 3x. Tie
the Lacey Flower onto the center of your Granny Square.  Use a yarn needle and the matching yarn sew just around the top of the spaces but below the loops.  Go in then out then go back through the out but slightly over and back through where you went in.  Go back where you came in but slightly over then back out. Then go forward to another section and do the same all the way around.  Cut the yarn then hide the end by weaving it into your work.  Smooth out the applique.





 16 Of the smaller glass beads - One On Each Flower.
I purchased these beads at Michaels Craft Store.
Buy 5 strands.
You will have beads leftover --
all the larger ones.


To sew on these beads use matching thread 
and a regular needle. I do not tie a knot yet, leave around 1 and 1half  to 2 inches of thread out rather than tieing a knot.  Keep the thread doubled.
Sew from right to left of the bead.  
*With your needle grab yarn one-fourth inch from the entrance. Then go through the bead going out
the exit and grab one-fourth of yarn then pull upwards on the needle and thread.  Work the thread under the bead.  Then bring the needle back to the entrance and repeat *   2X.
Now wrap the thread around the bead edges pull securely 2X.  Then make a small stitch just under the entrance 3X layer. Take your needle through the last loop to knot it.  This is to secure it.  You should see no threads.  Now use the jewel glue under the bead.  Use the back of your yarn needle to apply the glue then clean your needle. Put pressure onto the bead for a few seconds.  Move onto the next bead.

Sew all the squares together with matching yarn.
Each row consists of four squares.  So make four rows of four squares - then sew
all the rows together.  
or
three rows of three or four - for a smaller size.
