Crochet

2-Row Grannies

I made this project out of wool & wool-blend remnants and a few stray single balls.  I made the afghan from 550 (22x25) two-row granny squares.  If that seems daunting, the squares go really quickly.  And this afghan is large enough for a bedspread.

If you look very carefully, I organized the colours I had on a grid and added some very subtle "designs" in with the colours I had.  I used math symbols.  Below I've drawn in the symbols. See if you can find them in the afghan.

They are pretty subtle, but that's fine since I wasn't planning anything for it when I started it.  Using more contrasting colours can make the pattern appear less subtle.  The small size of the squares, though, while making it take a long time to sew together.

At the end, add a simple border to close off the stitch ends and give it a finished look.
