Down the Lane

I 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.

Anyone got a hamster with a cold head

very inventive Helen.

It's rather lovely

No 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.

That's what I thought

I made some rosettes and put on a cushion, they are "different"

You have the same book as me, don't you Perchy? If I give you the page number, would you try it? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease!!!!!

(Page 91 'Anemone')

Have you finished it yet Perchy?

NO!!!! Anemones, not TULIPS!!!

Your rosettes look good though.

(Mind you, I can't see them close up )

have done some of the anenome, but I think the wool is too thick and the hook too large and I didn't change colours apart from that it is ok

So, what am I doing wrong? I tried so hard.

Maybe your tension is too tight, mine is too slack

If the tension was too tight, it would have curled from the middle, but it was flat until the purple row.

If it has curled up on the last row, you have not enough stitches, I would say.
Missed a gap or a corner maybe ?
