✨ ADJUSTABLE BLANKET SIZE

You can make your blanket any size you like.

Simply crochet more or fewer granny squares and arrange them into the desired number of rows and columns. This makes the pattern suitable for creating:

• Baby blankets
• Crib blankets
• Lap blankets
• Sofa throws
• Bedspreads
• Large colorful afghans

The pattern explains a simple method for calculating your finished blanket dimensions from the size of one completed motif.

🪡 STITCHES USED

Only basic crochet stitches are required:

• Chain (ch)
• Slip stitch (sl st)
• Double crochet (dc)
• Chain-1 spaces
• Chain-3 corner spaces

The beginning chain 3 counts as the first double crochet of each round.

🌸 GRANNY SQUARE CONSTRUCTION

Each colorful motif is worked for 6 rounds.

The included instructions take you step by step through:

Round 1: Create the center and four corners
Round 2: Begin expanding the square
Round 3: Add the next color and side groups
Round 4: Continue building the motif
Round 5: Complete the colorful inner section
Round 6: Add the contrasting border and join the motifs

Progress photos are provided throughout the pattern to make each stage easier to understand.

🖤 JOIN-AS-YOU-GO METHOD

No need to make a huge pile of squares and sew every one together afterward!

The pattern explains how to join each new granny square while crocheting Round 6.

You will learn how to:

• Join two motifs along one side
• Match the corners correctly
• Add motifs row by row
• Join a new square to two existing squares
• Build a neat blanket grid
• Keep the joins flat and even

The dark joining round beautifully frames every colorful square and creates the bold grid effect shown in the finished blanket.

🎨 MAKE IT YOUR OWN

Use bright rainbow colors like the sample, soft pastels, neutrals, or your own favorite palette.

Because the colors can be changed every round, this is also a wonderful scrap-yarn project for using smaller amounts of yarn from your collection.
