Hardanger Granny Square Blanket

Inspiration is from the garden swing seating

someone on Instagram said it looks like Hardanger Embroidery, so its found its name...

Hardanger Granny Square Blanket

first attempt was far too big to do lots of repeats from so started again with one half the size..it works 

 the first was far too big to repeat many times, second one, half the size 

will repeat beautifully

WORKSHOP AT HOME: From tile to crochet motif....

 WORKSHOP FOR THE FUTURE: Take a tile as inspiration and make a fab new motif to play with....... link to site i found it on

HERE tilesandtiles.com

 Added to the centre  of a larger mandala motif?.....

It would make a great blanket too...

Afternoon update: another version slightly flatter and opened up a little, less textured....
