Guess What?
If you crochet the granny square and have a small square and start again on one corner so you have a square ( small or large, any size) plus one corner (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc - I know you probably know how to do this but so you know I meant all the stitches in the corner) and then start turning the rows for a kite string, you would have a kite.
If you put the stitches (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in 2 corners It looks like a piece of bread or toast or a phone or tablet - maybe not a phone.

To Make Hot Air Balloon
ch.5 or make a magic circle. If chaining, sl st in 1st ch to make ring. chain 3, 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc; repeat til you have 4 sets of 3 dc. ch 2 and sl st in the top of the ch 3 and sl st (including doing a sl st in the corner space) to the corner and then ch 3, 2 dc, then turn your work as if you were crocheting rows. Pull up a loop to the height of the dc and dc in the 1st stitch and in the next stitch and in the top of the ch stitch. Turn. Pull up loop to height of dc ( instead of chaining) and dc in 1st two sts and dc in the sp by the loop on the end. Turn. Pull up a loop to the height of the dc (instead of chaining) and dc in 1st two sts and in sp by the loop on the end that you made on the previous row when making the 1st dc. Cut yarn and pull through loop. Do this on all 4 sides except when you finish on the 4th side Do Not cut the yarn but ch 8 or 10 or however many you would like (I chained 10). The chains will go between the dc strips you just made. Make chains to go between all the dc strips so you have 4 dc strips and 4 chains. This is the Hot Air Balloon. Sew all points together on the top.
The basket is the 2 rows of a basic granny square. Row 1- 4 sets of 3 dc with ch 2 between and ch 2 before sl stitching. sl st to corner and crochet row 2 with ch 3, 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in the corner sp and repeat in all 4 corners (I'm pretty sure that's what I did on row 2). Then sew together for your basket. Decide which side of the Hot Air Balloon you want to be the top and attach yarn for strings from the bottom of the Hot Air Balloon to the basket and tie a piece of yarn around the strings to hold them together and then tie a piece of yarn on the top for hanging.
You might have another way of making a Hot Air Balloon but this is the way I made it.

An Angel, A Kite and the peach one is just something I did. If you put the head and arms of the angel through the loop it will look like the 2nd picture by the book.
To make the Angel: Make 4 sets of 3 dc w/a ch 2 between the sets of double crochets-like the start of a granny square. sl st to corner an ch 3, 2 dc turn and dc until her dress is as long as you want. Instead of chaining at the beginning of a row you can pull up a loop to the height of a dc and dc in 1st stitch, etc. like I mention in How To Make A Hot Air Balloon. When the dress is as long as you want then Don't Cut Yarn but make a chain as long as you want and sl st on the other side and end off. for the arms I did a hdc.

I had thought I just had one more picture but I kept making something else using the granny square before I finally crocheted the one I was going to do. You'll see. I'll post more pics soon.
