Granny Square Blanket Pattern:
Round 1:
Begin by chaining 3 with your first color. Work 2 double crochets into the first chain, then chain 1. Create a double crochet cluster in the same stitch, chain 1, and repeat this three more times. Slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain. You’ll now have four double crochet clusters and four chain-1 spaces.
Round 2:
Slip stitch into the next two stitches and into the chain-1 space. Chain 2, then work 2 double crochets into the same chain-1 space, followed by a chain 1. Create a double crochet cluster in the same space. Move to the next chain-1 space and work a double crochet cluster, chain 1, and another double crochet cluster. Repeat this pattern around the square. Slip stitch to the top of the first chain-2. You should now have 8 double crochet clusters and 4 chain-1 spaces.
Round 3:
Slip stitch into the next two stitches and into the chain-1 space. Chain 2, then work 2 double crochets into the same chain-1 space, followed by a chain 1. Create a double crochet cluster in the same space. Work a double crochet cluster into the space between the clusters from the previous round. Continue this pattern, adding a double crochet cluster, chain 1, and another double crochet cluster in the next chain-1 space. Repeat around the square and slip stitch to the top of the first chain-2. You’ll now have 12 double crochet clusters and 4 chain-1 spaces.
Continue this pattern, adding rounds as needed. When changing colors, cut the yarn, weave in the ends, and join the new color in any chain-1 space.
Granny Square Border Pattern:
Round 1:
Work half double crochets around the entire blanket, making sure to work 3 half double crochets into each corner stitch. Cut the yarn and weave in the ends.
Round 2:
Join white yarn with a slip stitch. Single crochet in the next five stitches, chain 3, and create a half double crochet in the first chain. Repeat this pattern around the blanket. Imperfections add character, so don’t worry about perfect spacing!
