Marley Mae Square

The Marley Mae square is the third square in a series that I am designing as a legacy for my grandchildren. Marley loves the ocean and volleyball; she’s analytical, has a wicked cynical sense of humor and sings like a bird. She’s a complicated girl that requires a bit more complicated square design.

These squares can be used as blanket squares, a center piece for a blanket, a pillow or tote. This is an intermediate pattern that can be found on Love Crafts, Ravelry, Ribblr and Creative Fabrica.

Testers Needed

My plan to create a series of crochet squares and name each square after each grandchild requires reliable, experienced testers. These square’s will be released separately as a free pattern on Ravelry and this blog.

I need testers for the final stage of testing for Marley Mae. If you or someone you know is available, please reply to my email at phaener@gmx.com.

The square is out for testing and will be release soon.

Lauren Rose and Macey Ann squares are also available on my other posts.

Macey Ann Square

The Macey Ann square is the second in a series of squares named after my grandchildren. My intention is to design a square for each of them, that demonstrates each of their personalities.

This square named after Macey Ann represents her unique creativity and her love of everything pretty and sparkly.

All of these squares are designed to be used as blanket squares, a center piece for a blanket, a pillow or tote. Macey Ann is one of three designs featured in The Ultimate Granny Squares Sourcebook: 100 Contemporary Motifs to Mix and Match.

Lauren Rose Square

Once the decision was made to jump into the world of design, I knew immediately that I wanted to leave each of my grandchildren a remembrance of my love. My intention is to design a square that demonstrates their personalities.

This square is the first in the series and named after my youngest granddaughter Lauren Rose. She is active, inquisitive, and so darn smart. I decided to make her an heirloom blanket out of the squares.   I used nine squares for a small blanket, joining and adding a border design that came straight from my heart.  It is finished, pinned, blocked and ready for delivery.

All of these squares are designed to be used as blanket squares, a center piece for a blanket, a pillow or tote.  This is an advanced beginner to intermediate pattern.

Lauren Rose Square

The Lauren Rose square was designed in honor of my granddaughter and will be given to her as an heirloom. 💕 It is in the testing phase and will be released soon.

I wanted to make her a small blanket, so I used nine of the squares and joined them using a flat braid join. The design for the border came from my heart. 💕 Today I sewed in the ends, pinned and blocked it. Almost done! 😊

~ Calling all Testers ~

I’m a late bloomer with respect to crochet design and learning the ins-and-outs of designing. I have learned that one of the most important parts of design is to have experienced testers review each pattern. It is so easy to overlook little details of a written pattern no matter how many times we as designers read through our patterns.

I plan to create a series of squares that represent each of my grandchild’s personality. Each of these square’s will be designed, tested and released separately as a free pattern.

I’m looking for reliable, experienced testers to review each of these squares. Pictures of the two squares finished and need testing.
