Supplies Needed:
- 5 mm crochet hook
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
- Yarn (colors of your choice)
Granny Square Pattern:
Round 1:
- Start with a slip knot on your hook.
- Chain 4, then slip stitch into the first chain to form a ring.
- Chain 2 (counts as your first double crochet).
- Work 11 double crochets into the center of the ring (for a total of 12 including the chain 2).
- Slip stitch into the top of the beginning chain 2 to join.
Round 2:
- Tie on new color yarn in any chain space of the previous round.
- Pull up a loop with the new color and chain 4 (counts as your first treble crochet).
- Creating Petals: Work 3 treble crochets together across the next chain spaces, starting in the same space as the chain 4. Remember to chain 2 between each set of petals.
- Repeat step 3 around the circle to make 12 petals total, chain 2, then slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain 4 to join.
For Round 3:
- Attach white yarn in between any two petals.
- Chain 4 (counts as first triple crochet).
- In the same space, work two more triple crochets, chain 3, and then 3 more triple crochets to make the first corner.
- For the sides: Chain 1, work 3 double crochets in the next space between petals, chain 1 again, then 3 double crochets in the following space.
- Making Corners: After working the side sets, make a corner by working [3 triple crochets, chain 3, 3 triple crochets] in the same space.
- Repeat this pattern all around and slip stitch to the first triple crochet to join.
Round 4 (Optional for extra size):
- Start in any corner space, tie on your yarn, chain 2 (counts as first double crochet).
- In the corner space, work [2 sets of 3 double crochets, chain 3 in between] for the corner.
- Work 3 double crochets in each space across the sides.
- At each corner, work 2 sets of 3 double crochets, chaining 3 between each set.
- Slip stitch to the beginning chain 2 to join. Cut yarn and weave in ends.
Joining Squares:
- Use an invisible join technique with a yarn needle to sew the squares together. Make sure right sides are facing together, and you're working in back loops only to achieve an invisible seam.
- Join squares to make strips according to the desired blanket size (e.g., 5 squares by 6 squares for a 5x6 blanket).
- Then, join the strips together.
Border:
- Start with a granny stitch round using white yarn. Work around the blanket with double crochets, making corners by working [3 double crochets, chain 3, 3 double crochets].
Optionally, follow with rounds of single crochets for thickness, and finish with a scalloped edge (shell stitch) for a decorative touch.
- To work a shell stitch: Skip one stitch, then in the next stitch work 5 double crochets. Skip a stitch and work one single crochet. Repeat around the border.
Finishing:
Weave in any remaining ends, and your blanket is complete!
