I love how this spiral pattern worked up. Ready to just keep going and only watching my stitch marker move up with me. I am going to try this pattern with different yarns for light to heavy hats.
Easy pattern to follow and understand. Great scarf for spring, Summer and Fall. If you use cotton yarn, you can wear it with everything everyday! Thanks Secret Yarnery! Eileen
In fact very easy to do
I bit the bullet (a quilter of 20 years), admitted that crochet also takes experience to succeed. So, I tried "The Secret Yarnery" pattern for Granny Square beginners. It was stress free, fun and I learned a lot about tension. And I now have a beautiful baby afghan for my new granddaughter. Thank you to the Secret Yarnery!
Everything I need in one place to be creative and I can photocopy extras of the pages I use most to customise my planning. I use it as my main diary, even for work and upcoming events. It inspires me to focus on my creative pursuits too. Love it!
