In the last few months, I mostly worked on my own projects and designs. But recently, I felt the need to explore and try out a variety of other people’s patterns, so I took one of the three crochet book I own (I know! That is totally shocking and unacceptable, and I promise that in the future I will try to increase my crochet library), and found some beautiful motifs I wanted to make.
I totally fell in love with this lacy square…
… and of course I couldn’t stop myself, so I made 7 of them, even though my primary intention was to make only one.
I chose pastel colors. Love working with bright, soft colors. But, you know that already.
Can you imagine baby blanket made of these beautiful squares? I sure can. Actually I can’t get it out of my head…
I must admit something to you. Each and every day I told myself, or my husband, my dog or the Universe how lucky I was to find crochet. It really transformed my life. In a very good way. It makes my days more creative, colorful, brighter and fulfilled. And also transformed me. I started to believe in miracles… and to see them happening…
Do you believe in miracles? I do. And I definitely believe in the magic of crochet.

I also believe in the magic of crochet! It will be a beautiful baby blanket!
Have a nice day! Kisses from Catalonia!
These are lovely. Great colors. I am the same way. I generally work on my own designs and don't bother with other patterns, but lately I've wanted to crochet more granny squares, so I should probably get a few patterns!
You make such lovely projects, and do beautiful work!! I also love the choices in yarn you use and the colors!! So very nice. Shared your post!
Crochet is magic, I totally agree. It became one of my favourite hobbies, especially since I discovered I got the talent from my grandma without even knowing it ♥
Thanks Cristina!
By the way, I love your colorful & beautiful crochet doily!

Thank you Natasja! 🙂
I use "Tango" yarn 100% cotton, 125m/50g from St. George (manufacturer form Serbia), but I'm afraid they don't sell internationally. They even don't sell online. I buy the yarn in my nearby yarn shop.
I also believe in the magic of crochet! Your work and the colours you used are amazing as usual!
I know what you feel!
I am the same!
pnly one think I have to add: i have a cat toooooo:)
They are such pretty squares, I can see why you kept making them!! xx
What beautiful motifs! Yes, what a gorgeous baby blanket they would make. I agree totally with you about crochet-I have just returned to it after a break, as the last project I had made was for my mother just before she passed away. At last I felt strong enough to pick up the hook again and it is proving wonderful therapy.
Best wishes

Oh my goodness, everything you make is so pretty! I will be following. 🙂
molto belli complimenti!!!
Buona settimana… ^__^
Great Site, and yes I believe in the Magic of crochet Magic
Ah, just wrote about making more of this book's motifs in my comment on the other post and here they are already ;-). Super beautiful!! ♥ Clearly I believe in miracles, many things can happen when we only believe in them :D. And the magic of crochet is something that I cannot think away from my daily routine ♥. So in this sense, have a happy hooky day 😀
yo quiero vivir cerca para hacer las labores tan bonitas.
How will you connect these motifs if making a blanket? Thank you.
Hi, I would also like to know if you have any ideas about connecting the squares? They are so beautiful.l would love to make one for by great grandchild. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thank you

Hi Debbie,
I didn’t join them together, but I think that the only way you could join these squares is using the method joining-as-you-go.

Could you please Explain how you would join them together, I’ve no idea!!
Hi Sue,
I would use join-as-you-go method and would join the squares in each picot stitch.
