Details of how I constructed my “Mix-It-Up” Square Blanket.

Yarn used: Red Heart Roll With It Melange. Colorways are Paparrazi and Show Time. (The 3 “RED” squares are left over scrap yarn.) Size J hook.

I joined the squares with a TIGHT JOIN using SC. Link to Tight Join courtesy of Gathered: https://www.gathered.how/knitting-and-crochet/crochet/how...

Joining yarn is Bernat Softee Baby Cotton in Soft Plum. (This is a 3 weight cotton blend yarn. It goes well with the Melange yarn, as it seems like a thin 4 weight, in my opinion.)**
