Grace, I have that very same glamper granny square saved on my Pinterest! I found it about a year ago but haven't had a chance to try it out yet. I would invite you over and teach you if we lived closer! If you ever take a trip this way let me know!

That shouldn’t be too hard to figure out. My mother could have done it. she was good at taking something I found in a picture and making me some. Lol

Grace, have you ever tried teaching yourself from watching YouTube videos? I find them very helpful!

I agree! Go for it! And then let us know how it goes. That's how I learn all my new stitches! I'm better with visuals rather than written instructions.

Grace, that little camper is adorable! I am going to see if I can figure it out when I get home this week to my crochet hooks! If I could enlarge the picture a little, I might be able to see what stitches they used. I love your rag rug! I've been wanting to try one for years. I think it would be easier than braiding one? But I'm not sure...I've never tried either.

When I taught crochet to grade school kids, I taught them how to make t-shirts into continuous strips and got them the BIG crochet hooks to work with. The boys just loved the big hooks.

I counted about 14 stitches across at the widest part. When the pattern is written, Debbie, send it to me for an independent test. I've always wanted to be a pattern tester.

Grace, from what I see sitting on top of the pot, it looks very nice.

Yeppers,,, a CD by COATS, called 'Crochet Made Easy' ..CD-ROM tutorial CD and it includes 20 projects...
