Tiny Crocheted Granny Squares With A 1mm Hook!

This summer I actually took my own advice and used some vacation time to try something new, okay not actually a new craft, but certainly something I’ve never done before nor dreamed of doing, and that is crocheting with thread and a tiny hook – in this case a 1mm hook and size 8 cotton thread! I have seen teeny tiny granny square blankets for dollhouses and just had to give it a try, and now I’m in love with crocheted things at a smaller scale for my 1/8 scale Maileg style dollhouse. In fact, I’m going to have to go pick up some more of this thread, to give crocheting some clothes for my Maileg mice a try! Or maybe another few granny square blankets (which I’ll share soon) as I’m totally in love with the results. Truthfully, I now realize that the granny square dollhouse blankets I saw were likely crocheted with even smaller supplies, but the idea of weaving in ends I can’t see, and crocheting with a hook so tiny it looks like a needle, hmm, I won’t say never, but for now I’ll enjoy this size!

Happy crocheting! Ah yes, and just by the way, sorry to say but crocheting at this size is only recommended for a seasoned crocheter, otherwise it would be just too difficult.
