Under Color Crochet

Look at those corners! 😎 I do love making a nice, perfect, tight corner. 😍 And granny squares are my fave'a'fave way of doing just that. 🤩  (In the photo below, I love how you can just make out The Beast  [the ultimate assortment of mega granny squares!] and Lil' Camy there under the table.😁) These two pieces were delightfully fun and easy to make, because I was already an expert at this particular pattern. The pattern for these two mega granny squares comes from here:  Modern Granny Boho Bag . (Thanks,  Crochet Crowd !) That "Boho Bag" is an easy-peasy crochet-squeeze'y pattern that I love so much, I made two of them here recently:  Baggy Bags . (And who knows what's up with those too cute two cute too cuties now?! I gave Baggy Bags to my love,  Alexandra , because: always free to good home,  Black Cat Cafe & Gallery .)

(Or might be perfect?) 😄 This piece is definitely perfect. This piece was so easy and fun to make: four panels of double crochet, each with single crochet edging in a different color. Then trimmed with a barely-there ruffle (just two stitches per one base stitch) in white. This gives it a fun flounce, and doesn't take as long to work up. Then fringe added to the long edges, using all the colors.   I had way too much fun posing this piece as a silly, spouting, colorful cake. 😎 But it also poses very nicely as the over-sized lap blanket that it is...
