Grandma All Round Tutorial

Grandma All Round...

My Grandma's not square
she's perfectly round.
She eats Christmas pudding
and never gains a pound.
Or so she says
and I believe it to be true.
Cause Grandma's never lie
when it comes to food...

Here is the Tutorial...

8 ply
and size 3.5 hook...

First round finished...

Second round finished...

Third round finished...

Congratulations!!!

Grandma Tree Tutorial

Grandma Trees...

My Grandma's legs
are large and wide,
People say they are trunks in disguise.
If this is the case,
then I'm relieved to say.
Her arms must be branches
that can hold me all day.

Here is the Tutorial...
I have used Wheat coloured yarn as it is easy to see
But this is the Rust design from picture above...
8 ply
and size 3.5 hook...

First round finished...

Second round finished...

This last round is very long
as I am trying to explain it step-by-step
for the beginner crocheter...

Now we go straight...no curves for the bottom of the tree...

Last Round finished...

I do know that last round was mammoth...
Nearly there..
Just the trunk to go...

Congratulations...

You Grandma Tree is Finished...
Yeah!!!

I will be making a tutorial on these very soon...
Deciding which one I like the most...
So maybe you can help...

The cream one is a very straight forward triangle...

The wheat has groups of 3 trebles and 1 last row of 4 trebles
with the added bend in the tree shape...

The rust one has all rows with groups of 4 trebles
and the bend in the tree shape...


Love all your feed back...
and amazed at all the wonderful comments I have
received from all the lovely friends
coming to visit me from
ATTIC24...

Apart from almost fainting
with the heat (40 + degrees) 104 +
my head was in a spin from seeing my now
"gleeful" amount of followers...

To get some more "glee"
pop over to Dottiangel or spend some time
spreading your own
crafty "glee"...
It is sure to put you in great spirits for Christmas...
