Modern Granny Square Blanket

Description

This Blanket was designed as something crocheters of all skill levels could enjoy, whether you are picking up a hook for the very first time or you’ve been stitching for decades and just want a relaxing project to unwind with. We take the traditional granny square stitches we all know and love, and alternate them with clever, simple rows worked in a contrasting color (I used a bold black, which makes the other shades just pop!). It’s a wonderful, satisfying repeat that lets you sit back, relax, and watch a stunning geometric design unfold right in your lap.

This blanket is the ultimate companion for your favorite armchair, but it also makes an unforgettable gift. Imagine gifting this to a dear friend for a housewarming, or folding it over the edge of a new baby’s crib to be cherished for years to come. Because it can be made as big or as small as you like just by repeating the pattern rows, you can easily tailor it to fit any space, bed, or loved one.

I had so much fun pulling together a rainbow of colors for my version, but you might try a soft palette of pastels, an elegant monochrome look, or use up all the leftover yarn scraps in your basket to make something truly unique. Grab your hook, settle into a comfortable chair, and let’s make something beautiful together.
