A really interesting variation on the good old granny square.You can easily make a crochet blanket using this pattern. It's easy enough for beginners, but still fun for everyone else. This Modern Mitered Granny Square by Sue Rivers makes really stunning blankets. Visit Sue's blog for directions and photos on making this mitered granny square.
Ok, back to the subject at hand…these are easy to do and have many possibilities with different color combinations. For my blanket, I was going for a half log cabin quilt sorta thing, with a modern look. I decided to do as many variations of the 5 colors I chose as I could, with an off white to border each square. I am using Loops and Threads Impeccable, as I didn’t want to spend lots of money on all the yarn I need for this. It is worsted weight and I am using a size 7 (4.5mm) hook.

My first pattern I ever learned was the Granny square, which I made into a baby blanket while I was pregnant. Soon, I will be making another similar blankie for his firstborn. I love crochet!
Welcome! 🙂
If it wasn’t for my dodgy fingers, I ‘d have a go at this.
I like that you spell your name the correct way 😉
Evie can you copy this pattern to give it a try please? xx
Maybe you can do this one as a border for my daisies?
Oh yah… now that is nice!
You crochet your squares together. So do I. The seams move with a better stretch this way.
I have been crocheting my squares together for 35 years.
Love colours!
That’s the only pattern I can do an have made so many
I used up some of my scrap yarn. No two squares are the same. I made it for my daughter’s friend for her king size bed.
