Been busy with the crochet hookRe: Been busy with the crochet hookI bought the most wonderful crochet book of granny squares, and having got slightly fed up with my first effort (it's almost lap size and takes ages to go round once) I thought I would give myself a boost, use my lovely new wool and make some squares.
It's a bit of a shame as I think there may be a misprint in the book, as far from making a granny square, I seem to have produced a hamster hat with ear flaps. Helen xx

If you can't be a good example........ you will just have to be a horrible warning Re: Been busy with the crochet hookIt's rather lovely Re: Been busy with the crochet hookNo idea what happened!!
I know WHERE it went wrong, but just don't get what I did wrong. I had to double crochet (purple) into each treble (blue). I popped a d/crochet in every gap basically. Helen xx

That's what I thought I made some rosettes and put on a cushion, they are "different" Re: Been busy with the crochet hookYou have the same book as me, don't you Perchy? If I give you the page number, would you try it? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease!!!!!

I have done a bunch, sorry didn't realise you only wanted one and rosettes? Re: Been busy with the crochet hook
I have done a bunch, sorry didn't realise you only wanted one NO!!!! Anemones, not TULIPS!!! Your rosettes look good though. (Mind you, I can't see them close up ) Helen xx

Re: Been busy with the crochet hookSo, what am I doing wrong? I tried so hard. Helen xx

Maybe your tension is too tight, mine is too slack Re: Been busy with the crochet hookIf the tension was too tight, it would have curled from the middle, but it was flat until the purple row.

Missed a gap or a corner maybe ? http://www.busheyk9.co.uk
