Peek - a - boo Granny Triangle

I love shapes and I cannot lie! I love seeing shapes and math in the crochet and knits all the time. Figuring out the repetitions makes it fun and while you have fun, you don't realize how quickly the project progresses. That's sowed the idea for this series ' Granny with a Twist'. Granny Stitch is the basic of crochet and is so familiar and comforting for as long as anyone can go back to. It is, after all, the most commonly used crochet technique used all over the world and

Dainty granny Coasters - Coaster

As a crafter, a Granny Square/stitch is the first and the easiest pattern to work with. be it making a blanket, cushions etc. Granny Square was the first project we taught our students during our crochet workshops. Dina (aara.by.dina), a dear friend and fellow crafter, was conducing these workshops with me. Hence this pattern seemed apt to be named after her as a gift for her birth month in October.

Granny Knots 'n' Crosses - a game of Tic Tac Toe

Tic Tac Toe, or as my mom taught me, knots & crosses - is stuff of childhood. Am sure we have all played it at some point or another. This one is a simple Granny Square version of a travel friendly game of Tic - Tac - Toe. It started with a last minute gift I needed to make for a Birthday girl, and I came across various versions. Given the time constraint, the quirky crafter in me, found a shortcut to achieve this. I've made several color and yarn versions of this over the la

African Flower crochet cushions – a repeat project!

For someone who dreaded color combinations and multiple colors, I sure have come a long way 🤓. After throughly enjoying making of the previous cushion project, this one was custom-made for another dear friend. This post is to document this new project 😁. The front panels were more organized this time round and worked up pretty fast. Thanks to another wonderful blog I came across. If you have worked with crochet hexagons, you do know there are two sides with jagged edges.. A

One square?? at a time…

I seem to have fallen into the ‘Granny-trap’ 😁.. Well I do love crocheting granny squares, but it has been a long long time since I sat down to make them. They sure have a way of sneaking in, on you and taking over your mind 😉. The colors combinations, the repeated instructions and the sheer speed that you work with. It started with me testing the #blushbabyblossomblanket (pattern now for sale in her Ravelry store -linked), for @appleblossomdreams that required me to make s

Crochet Pattern: Night Jasmine – 2 toned flower.

The inspiration for this pattern came from the 6 petal flower by Erin Frick I was making hair accessories and was struck by a thought of making it 2 toned. The pattern didnt allow for a 2 tone. Hence worked on similar lines and came up with these instructions. Its been a hit with the hair accessories I make, hope you like it too. Please note: the link to original pattern that served as inspiration has been linked with designer’s name, after approval. This pattern is a part of

The Season of Doilies is here!

My love for Doilies started around the beginning of 2017. I made a couple of patterns, free patterns available on the internet. This was just to add a few to my Display stall, in January. I was amazed at how addictive they can be! What is a Doily, per say? Well, am sure we all have seen them. We might know them by different names, more often than not under a vase that graced a coffee/dining table. These delicate and pretty items have existed and were widely used extensively b
