Granny Bunting Triangle by Attic 24 | Carry On Crafting Festival | Summer 2025

Hello! I hope everybody's 2025 is off to a good start
 and that it includes all kinds of yarn and crochet entertainment. 
🧶
I finished up a pattern for Little Box of Crochet for their April 2025 box and it is off to testers, 
so this week I've taken a little break from designing/writing and decided to
 attack my stash with the pictured granny triangles. 
🔺🔺🔺
These are "Granny Bunting Triangles," a free pattern by the lovely Lucy at Attic 24 .
Attic 24 was one of the first crochet blogs I ran across back in late 2010, 
and I've been an avid admirer and follower ever since. 
Attic 24 inspired and motivated me to start crocheting again
 after several decades of a hiatus. 
Once again I'm inspired and motivated after a short hiatus in 2024. 
It's so refreshing to work on somebody else's awesome pattern, 
this was just the ticket I needed. 🎟️

I'm sending these off to Carry On Crafting Festival 
in the UK to add to their Summer Festival 2025 "decor." 
(See below photo for the text from their post referencing the details.) 🌞



It's a great way to have a little fun and contribute to something colorful planned for July.

Stay tuned for a lot more love of yarn and crochet and a lot of

Yarn Organizing Distractions | Five Petal Blossom | Free Crochet Pattern

While organizing my Scheepjes Catona yarn today I thought it would be fun to make some
happy colored little blossoms. I know, I know...focus on the job at hand...😉
Oh well, I only made a few.
They were so easy that I wanted to make one in every color...🤪
I resisted and got back on the organizing track.

Here's the "how to:" Work a MR, ch 1 to secure ring, ch 2, dc into the ring, ch 3, sl st into the ring, [ch 3, dc, ch 3, sl st into the ring] 4 times, fasten off, weave in ends. (5 petals – each petal has 2 sl sts, 6 chs, 1 dc)


And here are the colors that were used:

271 Tangerine
392 Lime Juice
205 Kiwi
280 Lemon
282 Ultraviolet
398 Coral Rose
