The pattern was originally intended to be a part of a granny square blanket with heart theme for Mother’s Day . However the Gods decided that they wanted this for themselves and hence it was converted into a pet blanket.

The pattern uses simple double crochet , solid granny square along with colour changes to create a picture square. The unused colour is carried along the back and worked over to have a neat visual appeal from the wrong side too!

You can continue working the granny square to any size you want by taking care to increase 16 sts each round.

You can also make other granny squares and join them to form a blanket of your required size.

Make 2 and use it as cushion cover, or make 1 and use fabric for the back.

Make in thinner yarn or thread !

The Granny squares are super versatile limited only by our imagination!

The prototype used less than 1 skein per colour but it is preferred to have one skein of each of the three colours to play it safe.

Hook used was 5 mm that resulted in a 24” square!

Good luck and hope you enjoy making this pattern!
