Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing with you my newest crochet pattern, the Granny Square Baby Blanket. This blanket was requested by a number of viewers on my YouTube channel, so I thought I would make an easy pattern to follow along! I decided to make versions of this granny square blanket, one solid color version and one striped version.
For the Granny Square Baby Blanket, I used Caron Simply Soft yarn. Feel free to change the colors up to make it your own. I also used a size H-8 (5.0 mm) crochet hook. My favorite crochet hooks to use are the Clover Amour. You will also need a pair of scissors and a tapestry needle. Gather your supplies and let’s begin!
GRANNY SQUARE BABY BLANKET
Materials:
- Caron Simply Soft Yarn
- Solid Blanket: 3 skeins of Sunshine
- Striped Blanket: 2 skeins of Country Blue (main color), 1 skein each of Off White and Soft Blue
- H-8 (5.0 mm) crochet hook
- Tapestry needle
- Scissors
Size:
31 x 31 square
Notes:
- After each round, you will turn your blanket. This helps to keep things straight and your granny square blanket from slanting.
- You will make a chain 2 in each corner of the blanket. For each of the sides, you will make a chain 1 in between the stitches.
- If you do not know how to make a magic circle, you can chain 4, slip stitch in first chain made to form a loop, chain 3 and work inside the loop for your first round
