Lacy Granny Square Pattern Inspiration

If this is not the right time to celebrate love and friendship then I don’t know when!

I have been so excited to be involved with a beautiful project organised by Sunflower Cottage Crochet.

Helen organised a crochet along involving 28 crochet designers who have put together 40 amazing crochet granny square patterns.

I have contributed with STUNNING TEXTURED CROCHET SQUARE FREE PATTERN earlier in the crochet along – my Friendship Star Crochet Granny Square.

My previous square is full of texture so this time around I have come up with more of a lacy granny square. It starts off as a circle to represent the circle of friends and family around you. Theses are the people celebrated in this crochet along. The circle is then turned into a 9 inch square that complements the blanket beautifully.

I used basic crochet stitches grouped in an innovative way to create this stunning lacy crochet granny square.

As you can see it uses crochet puff stitch for some gorgeous texture. The other stitches used in this pattern are double crochet and even treble crochet.
