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.

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.

Michaels Craft Store

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.

Love In A Mist Granny Square

Basic Granny Square 

4ply Caron Simply Soft  (strawberry fraise fresa) 

Loop Flower.

Make a loop not too tight then crochet two -  then single crochet in the first stitch.  Count the single crochet as one then chain 14 more.  Slip stitch into the main loop that has the single crochet in it.  It is small but it will stretch out as you go.  Chain 15 then slip stitch into main loop pushing it towards the first loop.  The main loop will stretch out - chain 15 then slip stitch into main loop - do this 11 more times pushing them towards the first loop - giving you a total of 13 loops in the main loop.  Cut your yarn and pull the yarn through the open end to close.  Tighten the main loop by pulling the yarn threads and tieing them into a knot. - Put the two threads into the center of your granny square pull

them securely through and tie the granny square thread and the two threads from the loop bunch together on the bach of the granny square.  Then hide your threads by weaving them through the crochet work.  Place the blue pineapple ring over the top of your loop flower making sure all loops are on top.  With needle and peachy thread, sew together the center coming up through including one side of the inner loop of the blue and bottom of loop bunch  then back down through the other side of the blue ring and loop bunch - be careful not to sew down any loops.  Thread it through this way until secure- keeping loops above full.

These postings are a way for me to remember what I did

when making my project.

I'm almost finished with this project.

I'm putting three more rows for the border, sewing down 

all the flowers and also hiding all the strings.

Then the Love In A Mist afghan will be completed.
