Crochet Binge

  Back a year or so ago did a series on TikTok where I made socks themed with colors based on characters. I was considering doing it again but did not know if I could focus on the socks long enough, then I thought everyone loves blankets. I had this great idea to make a universal pattern/idea that I would work with any theme or inspiration. With a little trial and error, I came up with this 6 square granny blanket that s about the size of a lap blanket depending on your tension. Each granny square has 10 rows as well as the border row that connects them all. After doing the themed colors choose a matching color for the outside and started another row on each. When I get to the side to connect instead of chaining between each I place the hook through the chain on the other square, yarn over, and pull through to connect. Oh, and for each square, I make the first letter of the character's name to make it a little more personalized. For this little series, I will be making TikTok's...

Free Pattern: Us 5.5 mm or 5.00 mm crochet hook Size 4 medium worsted weight yarn The granny square pattern Start by chaining 4 and slip stitch into the first chain or create a magic circle. Row 1: Chain 3, 2 double crochet. Chain 2 and create a cluster (three double crochets all in the same spot). Create a total of 4 clusters. Row 2: Chain 3 and place 2 double crochet. In each corner create two clusters, with two chains in between. Row 3 and so on: Create clusters in each opening and two in each corner with two chains in between. And repeat until the desired size. I like to also use a bigger needle to make the pattern go faster and make it bigger. When I use a 10mm needle I do not chain in between the clusters except on the corners where I only chain 1. I have a very good reason why this is my favorite way to make a blanket. So I have been crocheting for many years and tried many things. And no I don't mean different stitches but more so different styles. The first blanket...
