Once upon a time not all that long ago, I felt like crocheting something easy, fun & colourful. I thought maybe a granny square blanket, but I didn’t want too many colours or squares, just enough of both to keep things interesting & fun.

My goal was impact with simplicity, & as a result of having so much fun with this concept, I ended up designing & crocheting TWO blankets (see Grannies GO ROGUE).

This is the more conservative design of the 2 - worked in 3 colours. I think of it as decor friendly, but you could if you prefer, easily showcase 3 colours that make your heart sing when you see them together!

All 3 colours are used in each individual square, with FIVE squares worked in one order & FOUR worked in reverse order. All NINE use C1 & C2 until the final 2 rounds. A 3rd colour (C3) is then introduced, which is also used for seaming the squares together (alternately positioned) before an easy & effective scalloped edging is also worked in C3 around the entire blanket.

YARN USEAGE (approximate, with gauge met)
C1: 792m / 867 yds
C2: 720m / 788 yds
C3: 688m / 753 yds

Please note that there is one pattern document, written in UK TERMS with USA stitch equivalents noted as follows.

dc: double crochet (= USA single crochet)
htr: half treble (= USA half double crochet)
tr: treble (= USA double crochet)
dtr: double treble (= USA treble crochet)

A bonus with this design is that when folded diagonally, it can also function as a large & super warm triangular shawl.
