No-Name Popcorn Granny (tutorial) / Namenloses Popcorn Granny (Anleitung)
Dear friends,
I've
just finished cleaning house đ (the washing machine and tumble dryer
are still busy) and I'm gathering my thoughts on the today's crochet.
Having
a look around made me flinch at the amount of current WIP's. As I
feel just a little overwhelmed - I'll make a cup of tea...
- cardigans: 1 in progress, 2 in mind
- tablecloths/placemats: 1 in progress, 4 finished (awaiting blocking), 2 on to-do-list
- cushions: 1 in progress (awaiting fabric for back)
- handbags: 3 in progress (awaiting fabric for lining)
- blankets: 2 in progress, 1 awaiting start
- shawls: 1 in progress, 2 on to-do-list, 1 in mind
đ¨
STOP!
This
is making me giddy! How did that come about?
I
had better not even mentioned
my to-do-list! đą ARGH!... “Breathe, girl, just breathe!”
and... write a tutorial instead.
đ

- dc = double crochet

Preparing
the grannies for joining I made a 6th round on each one
and a 7th round on the first:
R.6:
- corner = 4 dc in loop
- 1 dc in each stitch
R.7:
maybe I'll explain when this methode of joining works out the way I

I'll
keep in touch!

Liebe Freunde,
der
Hausputz ist fertig geworden đ (nun ja, Waschmaschine und
Wäschetrockner laufen noch) und ich ßberlege welche Häkelarbeit
ich heute in Angriff nehme.
Nachdem
ich den Blick einmal habe schweifen lassen, mache ich mir erst mal
einen Tee, denn bei der Menge an UFO's ist mir dann doch ein wenig
unwohl geworden...
- Westen: 1 in der Mache (also UFO), 2 schon im Kopf
- Tischdecken: 1 in der Mache, 4 fertig (mĂźssen noch gespannt werden), 2 auf To-do-Liste
- Kissen: 1 in der Mache (Stoff fĂźr RĂźckseite fehlt noch)
- Handtasche: 3 in der Mache (Stoff fĂźr RĂźckseite fehlt noch - u.a.)
- Decken: 2 in der Mache, 1 auf Warteliste
- Schals/TĂźcher: 1 in der Mache, 2 auf To-do-Liste, 1 schon in Kopf
đ¨
STOP!
Davon
wird mir ja ganz schwindelig! Wie konnte es nur dazu kommen?
HILFE!!
Vielleicht hätte ich meine To-do-Liste besser nicht erwähnt. đą Einmal
tief durchatmen und... eine Anleitung schreiben!
đ
Einfaches
Granny Square mit Popcorn Stich
(muss
mir noch einen passenden Namen einfallen lassen)

AbkĂźrzungen:
- dStb = Doppelstäbchen
- fM = feste Masche
- FR = Fadenring
- hStb = halbes Stb
- Lm = Luftmasche
- LmB = Luftmaschenbogen
- PC = Popcorn Stich (aus 5 Stb)
- Stb = Stäbchen
- zabStb = zusammen abgemaschte Stäbchen
Anleitung:
Mit
FR anfangen
R1:
8x (2 zabStb + 2 Lm)
R2:
8x [(1 PC + 3 Lm) in LmB]

8x [2x (1 PC + 2 Lm) in LmB]
R4:
(3 Stb + 1 Lm) in jeden LmB
R5:
- an einer Ecke anfangen
- Ecken = 3 dStb + 2 Lm + 3 dStb
- 4x (Ecke in LmB + 3 Stb im nä LmB + 3 hStb im nä LmB + 3 Stb im nä LmB)
Um
die Grannys aufs Zusammenhäkeln vorzubereiten habe ich noch Runden 6
(bei allen) und 7 (nur bei einem Granny) hinzugefĂźgt:
R6:
- Ecken = 4 fM
- 1 fM in jede Masche
R7:
Erkläre ich erst, wenn die Methode, die ich mir ausgedacht habe,
auch aufgeht...

Ich mache mir noch 'ne Tasse Tee...
Ich
halte euch auf dem Laufenden!

I love the pretty lavender colour you're used to make this popcorn stitch square. The result is lovely! Popcorn stitch is always so attractive and fun to do!
AntwortenLĂśschenThank you very much, dear Sandra.
LĂśschenAs these grannies belong to one of the aboven mentioned blankets, I'll not stich to lavender only. But it was the colour I liked most...
Have a great week,
Marjan
Lovely !!!
AntwortenLĂśschenAnna
Thank you very much, dear Anna!
LĂśschenSehr schĂśnes Granny!!
AntwortenLĂśschenVielleicht ist es hilfreich die UFOs auĂer Sichtweite zu bringen ;)
Tja, liebe Jutta, vielleicht wäre das eine LÜsung. Nur liefen diese UFOs dann Gefahr zu verstauben, so ganz im Sinne von "aus dem Auge..."
LĂśschenLiebe GrĂźĂe,
Marjan
Sehr hĂźbsches Granny!
AntwortenLĂśschenLG Sandra
Vielen Dank, liebe Sandra!
LĂśschenSchĂśne Woche,
Marjan
Liebe Marjan,
AntwortenLÜschenwas bist du doch fßr eine Häkelfee........dein neues Granny ist einfach ein Traum....wunder-wunder-wunderschÜn.
HerzensgrĂźassli und DrĂźckerli

Vielen, lieben Danke, liebste Yvonne!
LĂśschenFĂźhle dich gedrĂźckt,
Marjan
So cute!
AntwortenLĂśschenThank you very much, dear Marcia!
LĂśschenQue bonito resultado!!! gracias por el tutorial!!
AntwortenLĂśschenBesos.
¡Muchas gracias, querida Pilar!
LĂśschenBesos,
Marjan
Such a seducing color and texture of your granny square! Thank you for sharing the tutorial! I am going to pin this onto my Grannies board!
AntwortenLĂśschenAs for the to-do list - Gosh! You have too many things going on- very lucrative if I may say so! Admire your determination!
Thank you, dear Maya.
LĂśschenI'm very pleased about the granny, even if I didn't really intended making another one - still enough traditional grannies on my mind... But it's nice to do something else in between.
My to-do-list is a bit overwhelming indeed but I'll get these things done - somehow...
Have a great day,
Marjan
What a gorgeous crochet square! Very delicate and exquisite. The kind of crochet I love the most. Beautiful in lavender color, but I can also imagine it in coral or lemon. Really wonderful. Thank you very much for sharing the tutorial and pattern. I will certainly do it. And how many projects are in hand, my dear! I thought it only happens to me. I'm absolutely sure that everyone will be wonderful once finishet, as everything that comes out of your hands and your creative mind. Have a wonderful day! xxx
AntwortenLĂśschenThank you very much, dear Anabelia.
LĂśschenI've the blanket planned aith got a darker lilac, a very light pink, a pale blue and a magenta-ish shade. Looks good so far, I'll have to wait and see if it still does after joining...
As to my to-do-list: sometimes I wished I could crochet a little faster, but that's an idle wish, isn't it...
Have a lovely day,
Marjan
Marjan, this is just the prettiest square! It makes me think of wisteria before the flowers open, and that lace edge is perfect for a tea-in-the-garden sort of theme.
AntwortenLĂśschenI could write a list for all my WIP's, but it would end up lost under a pile of yarn somewhere. ;) Don't worry, you'll get it done. Then you'll start more projects. I've accepted that it's just part of being a crocheter.
Dear Jenns, thank you for your support.
LĂśschenI know I'll never finish that to-do-list cause there'll always appear more and more to-do-things on it before the "old" ones are done... That's why that list exists only in my head. I just felt so overwhelmed by the amount of WIPs (still do actually - and it's hard to concentrate on getting these things done first).
Still haven't found a name for the granny, maybe I will when the blanket is done.
Have a great day,
Marjan
This is beautiful. I've been looking for a pattern I loved to use on a table under a plant and I think it's perfect!
AntwortenLĂśschenThank you very much, dear Trudy,
LĂśschenHappy crocheting,
Marjan
haha, so funny to read about the panic after seeing all your wip's :-)
AntwortenLĂśschenBut your new granny square is marvellous!! Really!
Take care, Sigrid
Thank you, dear Sigrid,
LĂśschenpanic - that's it, really: too many projects and not enough time and still more ideas popping up out of nowhere... ARGH!!
Have a lovely weekend,
Marjan
Marjan I know what you mean about WIPs. I have lots of them but for the most part they are all in my head. I'll be enjoying that cup of tea with you and gazing at the lovely popcorn crochet. What a beautiful color!
AntwortenLĂśschenIndeed it is a lovbely colour, dear Mary.
LĂśschenI do love these lavender/lilac shades... But I'll not be maling the blanket out of this one alone, there'll be pale blue, pales pink, pink and purple too. Don't know what it's going to look like - let's wait and see.
Have a great weekend,
Marjan
Such a pretty pattern, thank you for sharing at The Really Crafty Link Party. Pinned!
AntwortenLĂśschenThank you very much, dear Teresa!
LĂśschenThank you so much for this lovely pattern, I'm pinning it right now!
AntwortenLĂśschenYour to do list sounds similar to mine, so many projects, so little time! I'm so pleased you joined us at #HandmadeMonday, welcome!
Thank you very much, dear Julia!
LĂśschenWe do have a spleen for to-do-lists, haven't we?
Have a great Sunday,
Marjan
Wow Marjan, you've got a lot going on at the moment and you still managed to write a tutorial too. The popcorn stitch is really pretty, I love the 3 D, bubbly look it gives to the squares. Really stunning
AntwortenLĂśschenThank you very much, dear Michelle.
LĂśschenCause of the bubbles the square might not be suited for tischcloths though...
Have a great Sunday,
Marjan
Liebe Marjan,
AntwortenLÜschenbei Dir gehts ja ähnlich zu wie bei mir. Ich habe auch reichlich Ufo`s, Näh- und Häkelufo`s. Ein Häkelufo habe ich gerade wieder zur Hand genommen und bringe es in den nächsten Tagen zu Ende.
Aber so ist das wohl, man mĂśchte so viel und hat viele Ideen, da bleien Ufo`s nicht aus... macht aber nix :).
Dein Granny ist super hßbsch, gefällt mir ganz wunderbar und wenn ich mir die Anleitung so ansehe, ist es gar nicht schwer zu häkeln. Merke ich mir unbedingt fßr später.
Ich wĂźnsche Dir einen schĂśnen Sonntag - bei uns scheint heute die Sonne.
Liebe GrĂźĂe von der Insel RĂźgen, Mandy
Danke, liebe Mandy.
LÜschenDas Granny ist tatsächlich supereinfach (und dementsprechend schnell gehäkelt). Ich glaube, bei uns Handarbeiterinnen bleiben endlose To-do-Listen und UFOs tatsächlich nicht aus. Ist aber dennoch ganz schÜn ernßchternd, wenn "Frau" dann doch mal einen Blick wagt...
Ich wĂźnsche dir ebenfalls einen schĂśnen Sonntag,
Marjan
P.S.: In der Eifel regnet es... Seufz...
That's so pretty and I love how clear your tutorial is! I'll definitely be trying it :)
AntwortenLĂśschenWhat a beautiful piece.
AntwortenLĂśschenCould you please tell me how you made round 7?
AntwortenLĂśschenHmpf... Never came round writing a tutorial, didn't I?
LĂśschenTruth be told: Corners are dc + ch 5 + dc (skip 2 stitches) and the rest is dc + ch 3.
Hope this helps at least a little...
Have a great Sunday,
Marjan
This is beautiful! Are UK stitches different from US? THANK YOU!
AntwortenLĂśschenThere is a difference indeed. Not a great one, but you might get confused... A UK dc is a US sc ; a UK tr is a US dc... You'll find convertion-help online though...
