Make the same as Granny Square I using F for Round 1, C for Round 2, B for Round 3, D for Round 4, E for Round 5, and A for Rounds 6 and 7.
Assembly and Finishing
Assemble the Squares
Arrange the Granny Squares into a strip in your desired order. With A, sew the squares together using a yarn needle. Ensure the squares are aligned properly for a neat finish.
Add the Fringe
- Cut lengths of A, B, C, D, E, and F, each about 24″ long.
- Holding one strand of each color together, fold the lengths in half.
- Using a crochet hook, pull the fold through any stitch of one short edge of the scarf, forming a loop.
- Thread the ends through the loop and pull to tighten.
- Attach a total of 7 fringes evenly spaced along both short ends of the scarf.
- Trim fringe to even and weave in all ends.
Practical Tips
- Keep your color changes tidy by carrying the unused yarn up the side of your squares. This helps reduce loose ends.
- Blocking your finished squares can help to create even shapes and enhance the overall appearance of the scarf.
- Feel free to mix up the colors while sewing your squares together for a more spontaneous look.
- Practice the square techniques on scrap yarn if you are new to color changing before starting the project.
Troubleshooting
- Problem: Uneven edges on squares.
Cause: Inconsistent tension.
Solution: Try to maintain even tension in your stitches throughout the project. - Problem: Stitches look too tight.
Cause: Using a hook that’s too small for the yarn weight.
Solution: Check your hook size and consider using a larger one for more relaxed stitches. - Problem: Fringes are not hanging evenly.
Cause: Unequal lengths cut.
Solution: Measure your strands to ensure they are all equal before attaching.
