I’ve never made a true “granny square afghan”, as I think of them-- nothing but plain granny squares. The closest I’ve come was a blanket made of two-round granny squares with a single crochet border around each square. This time, the squares will be slightly larger, with no sc border.

Plain-jane granny squares. Join will be JAYGO. Yarn will be worsted-weight acrylics-- a true scrap-stash-buster! It will fit in between other projects as time and scrap-stash permits.

I can’t wait to watch it come together!

Use Boye size G-- 4.25mm instead of 4.0mm.

Granny Square Method:
--start with a magic circle
--put 2-ch spaces for ever corner
--put 1-ch spaces for “side spaces”
--4-round squares, different color each round

Border:
One round (in red) of 1 sc in every stitch/space, with 1 sc in between each pair of granny squares and 3 sc in each corner of the blanket.

Seven rounds of Edging #149 (from Edie Eckman’s Around the Corner book).

Then back to the red. One round hdc and a final round of improvised scallops.
