This Crochet Blanket is made with the granny Stitch and will work up for you extremely fast. This Crochet Blanket is the perfect project for beginner crocheters.

Here’s what you will need for this Crochet Blanket

Yarn: Any #4 worsted weight yarn will do. I used red heart super saver for the yarns in the colors Pretty in Pink,

Amethyst, Solid Pool, and Minty for the Crochet Blanket. I would start with 3 skeins of each, as the blanket gets larger you can purchase more skeins. If you don’t have access to Red Heart you can purchase it through the highlighted links.

Crochet Hook: 5.5 mm crochet hook. Any 5.5 mm crochet hook that you have on hand will work. I really love the crochet hooks that have the silicone handles. They fit comfortably in your hand while crocheting. You can purchase the crochet hook in the highlighted link above.

Craft Scissors: Any pair of scissors<a href=”http://<a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.amazon.com/s?k=craft+scissors&i=arts-crafts&crid=QPFSV39Z7N5X&sprefix=craft+scissors%252Carts-crafts%252C202&ref=nb_sb_noss_1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=montanacroc0d-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=bde3f5667ab9bc7ca922388a78d4986d&camp=1789&creative=9325″>craft scissors that you have on hand will work for this Crochet Blanket. I really like the smaller craft size scissors because they easily fit into my crochet hook bag. You can purchase a pair of craft scissors in the highlighted link above.

Yarn Needle: I really love the metal Yarn Needles because i feel like they weave through the yarn much easier. You can use what ever yarn needle that you have on hand. If you want to purchase a set of yarn needles you can do so in the highlighted link above.

Spring-Inspired Crochet Granny Square Tutorial

/ Montana Crochet Creations / 1 Comment

Hi Everyone! I am back with another fun and really cute project. Today we are going to be making a Crochet Granny Square with a daisy flower in the middle. I’ve been wanting to make something that gets me in the mood for spring. It’s almost the middle of February and still looks like the Arctic Tundra where I live in Montana, but I’m in the mood for some spring decor.

This Crochet Granny Square is stylish and simple to make. I’m making mine into a blanket. My plan is to make each row 10 Granny Squares long and possibly 20 rows tall. It really is going to depend on how big I want my Crochet Granny Square blanket to be. That’s why I say the possibilities for this granny square pattern are endless. Mix up the color combinations, make it into a pillow, or even an adorable table runner to set the spring vibe in your home.

Let’s get to work on this Crochet Granny Square

Here’s what you will need if you want to make your Granny Square identical to mine.

Yarn: I used Caron Simply Soft yarn in the colors Pink and Yellow. I also used Lion Brand Ice Cream Big Scoop in the color Mint. If you can’t find them in your local yarn store you can purchase it through the highlighted links above.

Crochet Hook: 3.5 mm crochet hook. Lately I have been obsessed with these crochet hooks with the silicone handles. I absolutely love the way they feel in my hand when I am crocheting. If you are in need of a new crochet hook you can purchase it through the highlighted link above.

Other Supplies: Craft Scissors, I like the small 4.5″ scissors because they easily fit into my crochet bag. You will also need a yarn needle for weaving in your yarn ends. If you are in need of these items you can purchase them in the highlighted links above.

Abbreviations: CH (chain), SC (Single Crochet), DC (Double Crochet), TRC(Triple Crochet Cluster), SLST (Slip Stitch).

Special Stitch: For the triple crochet cluster stitch: Yarn over your hook 2 times, insert your hook into the next stitch and draw up a loop pulling through the stitch. Yarn over and pull through 2 loops on your hook, yarn over again and pull through 2 more loops leaving the last 2 loops on your hook. Repeat for a total of 3 TRC, yarn over and pull through all loops on your hook.

Pattern is written in US Terms. CH 2 does not count as a stitch. CH 3 and CH 4 counts as a stitch.

Now for the Crochet Granny Square Pattern

Note: If you would rather watch a video tutorial, you can do so below.

Round 1: With Yellow Yarn, create a magic circle, CH (chain) 2. Place 11 DC (double crochet) in the magic circle. Pull tail tight to close circle and SLST (slip stitch) to the top of the first DC. You should have a total of 11 DC at the end of round 1. Change to your Pink yarn.

Round 2: With Pink yarn, CH 4 (counts as your first triple crochet). Next, place 2 more triple crochet in the CH 4 space, CH 2. Now, place 3 TRC in each stitch all the way around. You should have a total of 11 Triple Crochet Clusters at the end of round 2. Now change to your mint yarn.

Round 3: CH 3 (this counts as your first DC). Next place 2 more DC in the CH 3 Space. Skip over to the next opening (space between the DC clusters) and place 3 DC. Repeat this until you come to the corner. In the Corner space place *3 DC, CH 3, 3 DC* all in the corner space. Repeat by placing 3 DC in each opening and 3DC, CH 3, 3DC in the corner space. Repeat all the way around. SLST to the top of the first DC.

For the Boarder

Round 1: CH 1, SC (single crochet) in the CH 1 space. Place 1 SC in each stitch all the way across. Next, place 3 SC in the middle stitch of the CH 3 from the previous row. Repeat all the way around placing 1 SC in each stitch and 3 SC in the middle stitch of the CH 3. SLST to the top of the first SC.

Rounds 2-3: Repeat round 1. SLST to the top of the first SC. Fasten off and weave in your yarn ends.
