Lise 12 Granny Square Pattern

Meet Lise – A Dance of Petals and Pattern

Lise is ready to dance her way into your afghan—and maybe even your heart!

This beautifully designed 12-inch afghan block draws inspiration from the intricate beauty of Islamic architecture, the flowing elegance of Art Nouveau, and perhaps a touch of Gershwin’s rhythm. Four graceful petals fan out and taper into softly rounded points, all framed by the subtle illusion of a square turned on its point. The final rounds of the block are kept simple to highlight the elegant lines, giving you space to either leave them as is or add your own creative embellishments.

Skill Level
This pattern is best suited for advanced beginners due to a few sections that require careful stitch placement. But don’t worry—the pattern includes step-by-step photo tutorials to guide you through the trickier parts with ease.

What’s Included
When you download the pattern, you’ll receive two versions:

  • A full photo tutorial version for visual guidance.

  • A streamlined, printer-friendly version with minimal images (just a few helpful ones at the end).

 

 

Gauge & Yarn Samples
Gauge can vary widely depending on yarn, hook, and tension, so several sample blocks were made to help you find the right combination:

  • Vanna’s Choice + H (5.0mm) hook, medium tension = 12 inches

  • Vanna’s Choice + I (5.5mm) hook, medium to loose tension = too large to finish

  • Caron Simply Soft + H (5.0mm) hook, very tight tension = 10 inches

  • Caron Simply Soft + H (5.0mm) hook, medium to loose tension = 11 inches

  • Caron Simply Soft + I (5.5mm) hook, medium to loose tension = 12 inches
