Flowery granny square

19/07/2014 by Dada Filed Under: Crochet granny square, Crochet pillows 21 Comments

These are my newest granny squares. I’m currently working on the pattern and tutorial (step-by-step with many pictures) for these colorful granny squares.

Actually, I’m making a tutorial for the pillow. I will explain how to make a granny square, how to join them, how to make a border, and finally, how to make a pillow.
I will show how to add fabric (with an inserted zipper) on the back side. It will be very, very detailed tutorial. And hope It will be in Dada’s place shop soon.

Update: The flowery pillow pattern and step-by-step tutorial is now available in Dada’s place shop (payment options: Credit cards & PayPal).

You can also buy it in my Ravelry shop and in my Etsy shop. (payment option: PayPal)

Crochet poncho

09/07/2014 by Dada Filed Under: Other crochet projects 28 Comments

Although I didn’t post anything for a while, I was very, very busy. These last few weeks have been very difficult and exhausting for me. There were so many things I had to learn and do… but, now I’m so happy and satisfied because I’ve finally achieved my long-time goal to open Dada’s place shop!
I’ve also managed to finish this poncho, and I’m really happy with how it turned out!

It wasn’t my biggest crochet project so far, but sure it was the most perplexed. I had to figure out how to connect the flowers, how to finish the part around the neck, how and which border to add… It was a lot of work…

… but it was a very creative process, which I love so much! When I think about crochet, first thing (word) that comes to my mind is possibility. There are countless possibilities of combining only a few basic crochet stitches… it’s really fascinating!

I made this poncho using 100% cotton yarn “Tango” from St. George, and 3.5 mm crochet hook.

I’ve already started my next project. It’s a PDF pattern for the Flowery granny square pillow. Something new & colorful. I have to fill up Dada’s place shop! 🙂

Update: I made a free pattern for this flower ornaments, as a part of my free Secret Garden Shawl pattern.

This is something I’m currently working on.
I can’t tell you yet what it will be, simple because I’m not sure if I’ll be able to achieve what I have in mind.

The pattern is my newest design, similar to this, unfortunately unfinished shawl (I haven’t managed to find the gray yarn which I had run out of)

So, we’ll see what it is going to be. Definitely something I will wear in the chilly summer nights…
