Updated Corners Method for Modern Crochet Grannies

Oh, you won't believe the whimsical world of crochet until you dive into the Crochet Snowflake Throw! Picture this: Jessie Rayot, the crochet maestro, designed this masterpiece with corners so unique they'll make your granny squares do a happy dance.

Now, hold your yarn, because these corners are like the rebels of the crochet universe – breaking all the granny square norms. At first, I was skeptical, thinking, "No way, Jessie, you can't bend the crochet rules like that!" But oh boy, was I wrong!

As I embarked on this snowy adventure, I couldn't help but feel like a 12-year-old again, giggling with delight at each stitch. It was like discovering a secret code in the crochet matrix, and my inner child was doing a happy dance with every yarn loop.

So, put on your crochet wizard hat and let your doubts melt away like snowflakes in the sun. Because in the world of Jessie Rayot's Snowflake Throw, even the corners have a sense of humor – and they're here to make your crochet journey a joyous, whimsical ride! Get ready to crochet with a twinkle in your eye and a giggle in your heart.

In the picture above, you can see the original type of corner for the crochet modern granny approach in the blue section. This is what we have been doing up until now.

In the orange and purple section, you can see Jessie's approach to changing the corners. And it works out perfectly.

You are welcome to download the diagram if it helps you. The original modern granny has (1 sc. Ch 3. 1 sc) in each corner. Jessie's approach has (1 sc. Ch 2. 1 sc. Ch 2. 1 sc) in each corner instead.

When you come back around, the double crochet rounds originally had (3 dc. Ch 1. 3 dc) in the corners, but with Jessie's approach, we have (3 dc in the 1st ch-2 sp. Ch 2. 3 dc in the next ch-2 sp). It's brilliant.
