Hooks and Needles: Simulated Braid Join
I've been stalking Pinterest for a way to join my granny squares together.
And when I found a picture of the Simulated Braid Join, I knew I had to do it!
Problem was the link didn't work....
And then when I found it...
You had to refer to another link to do the first part....
And then go back to the first link to finish it up...
Totally a mess!
But I persevered.
First I needed to go to the yarn store...
To find a great variegated yarn to set off the colors in my square...
And besides, do you really need an excuse to go to the yarn store?
Pros:
- Easy-peasy
- Accentuates the colors in the granny square.
- Squares up the granny square.
Cons:
- More yarn used.
- More time involved.
And you want the low-down on how to do it? Let me break it down for you:
Step 1:
Edge stitch two blocks by (single crochet, chain three) in each chain-3 space, (single crochet, chain 3, single crochet, chain 3) in each corner.
Step 2:
Hold the two squares right sides together matching up the corners. Working through both thicknesses, single crochet in the first corner, chain 3 - single crochet - chain 3 across ending with a single crochet in the corner.
Easy peasy, right?
