One of the things I like best about crochet is how flexible it is. First, I found and posted the beautiful Finnish shawl. Then a friendly reader, Christina, translated the pattern for us (see Comments Section of the link above). Then Wanda emailed me with a picture of how she interpreted the pattern to create a lovely and unique scarf as a gift for a teen girl. I love it! From across the world and across the internet, we are able to share our love of crochet and our various adaptations of a pattern. I’m so glad Wanda sent this to me! I hadn’t thought to downsize the beautiful Finnish Shawl for a scarf – but guess what my next project will be!

Free Crochet Pattern – Willow Granny Square
Even though this video is 3 years old, I had to share it with you as the Willow Sqaure is trending at the moment. Surprisingly we have not featured a willow square crochet pattern before. This square is made up of double crochet, chains and slip stitches. With these simple and easy to follow step by step instructions anyone can make this willow square.
A Willow Granny Square is a type of crochet motif characterized by its intricate design and texture. It typically features a combination of stitches, including double crochets and special stitches like the popcorn stitch. The name “Willow” may refer to the delicate and flowing nature of the design, reminiscent of the branches of a willow tree.
This granny square pattern often incorporates various stitches and techniques to create visual interest and dimension. While it can be more complex than traditional granny squares, with careful attention to detail and following clear instructions, crocheters of various skill levels can create stunning projects using Willow Granny Squares.
