Granny Square Blanket



This was another lockdown project, started in place of my Spicier Life blanket which was unravelled. It was an impulsive make, started after watching some of HG Designs Crochet's videos on YouTube - her granny square enthusiasm is infectious!
Lovely project to work on, I decided recently that it was the project in my WIP pile which was closest to completion so I focused on it alone (I have a lot of knitting plans and want a clean slate). Next in line is my Coofle jumper, then Mum's blanket (Moder dy).


I used mohair and various hand-dyed yarns, tried to be a bit free with the colour palette and really enjoyed working on it, granny squares are so fun to work on. I think I've mentioned before that I only learnt how to crochet granny squares fairly recently (via YouTube of course), they're very easy once you've got the pattern memorised (it took me a few tries). I've said this before but I find granny squares to have a lovely homely feel to them, welcoming and cosy.


Robyn was pulling on the blanket at this point!
