Description

A new take on the traditional granny square, with a pattern that does not skew, no matter how big it gets! With over 5 pounds of yarn and a generous size of 72” x 72” , this heavy blanket will soothe you into slumber. Your own crocheted weighted blanket is here!

Now with 16” square version instructions included.

For my one piece sample, I used 12 skeins of bulky weight Color Made Easy and a K hook, using 5 skeins of Birch (cream), 4 skeins of Malachite (green), 2 skeins of Blue Moon, and one skein of Kingfisher (teal.)

(For the 12-square version, I used 4 skeins each of five colors of Knit Picks Brava Bulky. )

In a traditional giant granny square blanket, the rounds tend to skew after a certain size, and some people turn the piece at the end of each round to prevent the skew. With this pattern, no turning is necessary, and square remains perfect all through up to my finished 72” size. Fun and easy to memorize, use your color imagination and basic crochet stitches to create your own unique masterpiece.
