Ma Petite Mamie (My Little Granny) is a modified granny square blanket with a bespoke border that takes this classic design to the next level. With the gorgeous Batik Elements Swirl yarn, a simply hdc granny becomes a glorious cacophony of colors.

This pattern is complete with detail photos/diagrams, classic crochet charts, and the clear written pattern that you’ve come to expect from a Polly Plum pattern.

Included is the very specific layout of squares. This semi-random layout balances the distribution of colors but also accounts for warm and cool tones so your eye never finds a boring spot.

This is a blanket your friends are going to beg you to make for them!
