Yo-Yo Quilt

2012-01-25T22:33:00.000-07:00

I'm going to start on a yo-yo quilt or coverlet using up some of the scraps I have. It's a fun project. I found some good instructions here. You can use any size circle for your template such as an old CD or a plastic coffee can lid, it depends on how big you want your yo-yos to be. Remember a yo-yo will be about half the diameter of your template. A CD will make a 2 inch yo-yo. If you make your template too small it will take a lot of yo-yos to make quilt or coverlet.

I'll post some pictures after I make a few.

Another beautiful granny square afghan from Lion Brand Yarns. You can find the instruction here. This pattern calls for Jiffy yarn by Lion Brand.

I copied this picture from here. Teresa Richardson has instructions on her blog, she also has some fantastic YouTube videos on how to crochet different patterns. Check out her blog for some wonderful ideas and free patterns.
Instead of making one large square you can use this pattern with other granny square patterns and make a wonder afghan or throw.
