Attention dog lovers! Make this blanket in the colours of your favourite pooch!

This pattern was tested for colour blind accessibility by https://www.color-blindness.com/coblis-color-blindness-si… It will also still make sense when printed in the black/white setting on your printer.

Finished size is approximately 11 x 10 times bigger than your 3-round square.

The idea behind the All Squared Away patterns is to take the traditional granny square pattern and make it sing! These patterns are designed to use squares of different sizes, which makes them ideal for using up scraps; while the joining method used cuts down on the number of ends you need to weave in.

Though it uses granny squares, this is not a beginner pattern. It’s all about the joining method.

This pattern uses the continuous joining method described in this tutorial: https://www.ravelry.com/discuss/fantasticmio/4069169/1-25
or this video tutorial: https://youtu.be/LO40rxGSxpM

A written pattern for a granny square is included, but you can use any traditional granny square pattern you are comfortable with.

This pattern includes both right- and left-handed joining schematics for both right- and left-facing dogs (4 schematics in total)

This was designed with using up scraps in mind. Gauge isn’t critical, as granny squares are quite forgiving.

Yarn needed for the join is estimated at 750 yards
