Use any beautiful flower granny square and then frame it with what I am calling Picture Frame edging, because it reminds me of victorian picture frames. All made in Bernat Handicrafter cotton and a size E-4 3.50mm h0ok.
I used these very lovely flower granny square patterns for the centers. I used a sliding loop to start all of them, only tightening the loop enough so the stitches fit perfectly.
- Flower Garden Granny Square by Harujion Designs – I changed the ch1 between the petals to ch2, which made the center less tight and easier to do for me when making the sc’s of the next round.

Maybe these are too pretty to use!

I think sliding and magic loop are probably the same.Love all your retro dishcloths. Love the zinnia. The round flowers in the granny frame ,along with my flowery chicken getting worked on real soon. I’m in NC, and the flowers and lots of buds are all around. They remind me of them.
