So much texture in these beautiful little granny squares! The sky is the limit with this blanket. Use a monthly yarn club, scrap yarn, alternate between a neutral square and a colored square, OR make them two color! Be sure to check out the amazing two color squares! These were created with Green Letter Day yarn and crocheted by The Yarny Homestead.

Find this pattern on the While They Dream Blog
(Only the solid colored square pattern is available on the blog; the two color square is only included in the PDF pattern).

Two patterns in one!

Skill Level: Advanced Beginner

Hook Used:
Uses a 4.5mm/G+ crochet hook. If you choose to go up or down in yarn weight, adjust your hook size according to your yarn label’s instructions.
A size 3.75mm/F hook was used for the two color squares. This helps hide the yarn being carried.

Construction: Granny Squares that can be joined as you go, whip stitched together, or use an invisible join.

Size:
Each solid square is 5 inches x 5 inches large (13 cm x 13 cm)
Each two color square is 4.25 inches

If using DK weight yarn and following the solid square layout your finished blanket will be 65 inches (165 cm) by 65 inches (165 cm) for solid squares

Size is completely adjustable!

Yarn: I am using a DK weight yarn. You do not have to use DK weight. You can use any weight that suits your needs.
