Based on the beloved classic granny square, this pattern adds a creative twist. At a certain point, you’ll rotate the square by 90 degrees and switch from working in rounds to rows.
This subtle change adds visual interest and creates a beautiful flow to the overall design while keeping things fun and engaging for the maker. It’s a great way to put a modern spin on a timeless favorite.
The soft pastel color palette makes this blanket perfect for brightening up gray winter days. Whether you choose muted tones or vibrant pops of color, the finished piece adds warmth and charm to any space. The generous finished size of 122 x 145 cm (48 x 57 inches) makes it ideal for draping over the couch, layering on a bed, or gifting to someone special.
If you’re looking for an easy, relaxing project that’s as pretty as it is practical, the Easy Granny Square Blanket is a wonderful choice.
With minimal counting and no complicated shaping, it’s a joyful make that offers the perfect excuse to slow down, sip something warm, and let your hook work its magic.
