Granny Rose Pillow (From Original CAL) | Refreshed Crochet Pattern

Here's a "Throw Back Thursday" if I've ever seen one...

🎕 The Granny Rose Pillow from the Original CAL Crochet Pattern 🎕

It has been refreshed and re-released
and
 includes an additional video link for a two-color rose square.

(I am busying myself with this 2020 New Year's Resolution of refreshing my patterns.)
2025 UPDATE:
  You can find this pattern SOON in the 
Apple Blossom Dreamz (yes with a z)
Etsy shop
by clicking here.

The pictured pillow and the pattern is photographed and written with
100% acrylic worsted weight yarn.
(It's a great stashbuster.)



The refreshed pattern has been thoroughly tested and the following
Granny Rose Squares are the result of testing the squares:


Please check back tomorrow to see what these squares turned into after testing the
join, edge and insert.


Thank you so much for your interest in this pattern!

Warmly,

Granny Rose Pillow Remix | Pattern Link with Modifcations

New Year ~ New Project!
 Working on a couple of pillows to brighten up the studio/guest room.
Picture these with pom-poms.
🌸🌞🌸

 I dusted off the old Granny Rose Crochet Pattern
 from nearly a decade ago and did a little remix:

2025 UPDATE:
The Granny Rose Pom Pom Cushions pattern
is available on Etsy by click here.



Designer: Astri Elisabeth
Pattern: Based on the Granny Rose Afghan with *modification below.
(Please click here for that pattern.)
Yarn: Yarnsmiths Create DK, Scheepjes Colour Crafter, or Stylecraft Special DK
(Please click here if you would like to purchase yarn.)

 Luckily I had a couple of 16" x 16" pillow forms.


All this yarn is from my stash...
New Years Resolution:
See how long can I go without purchasing more yarn.
Pom-poms with a Ta-da coming soon!

*Omit one granny row for a smaller square, but be sure to include bonus hdc row.


Warmly,

Astri
