Materials:

• Yarn in desired colors

Granny Square (Make according to desired blanket size):

Starting the Square:

• Make a slip knot and chain 4.
• Join to the first chain with a slip stitch to form a ring.
• Chain 2 (counts as first double crochet), and work 11 double crochets into the center of the ring.
• Join with a slip stitch to the top of the initial chain 2 (you should have 12 double crochets total).

First Round:

• Finish off the color (if desired) and weave in ends or work over them.
• Change color for the next round if desired.

Second Round (Petals):

• Join new color in any chain space.
• Chain 4 (counts as one treble crochet).
• Work 2 treble crochets together in the same space, then chain 2.
• Continue working 3 treble crochets together in each chain space around, chaining 2 between each set, for a total of 12 petal groups.
• Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first set and cut yarn.

Third Round (Turning Circle to Square):

• Join new color between any petals.
• Chain 4 for the first treble crochet and work 2 more treble crochets in the same space.
• Chain 3 for the corner and work 3 more treble crochets in the same space.
• Chain 1, and in each space between petals work 3 double crochets until reaching the next corner.
• Repeat the corner step and continue with the pattern until reaching the starting point.
• Join with a slip stitch, finish off the color, and weave in ends.

Fourth Round (Border):

• Join color for the border round.
• Work double crochets all around, placing two sets of three double crochets separated by a chain of three in each corner space.
• Join with a slip stitch and cut yarn.

Joining Squares:

Joining Technique:

• Using an invisible join with a yarn needle and a strand of yarn, work into the back loops only.
• Keep right sides together so the join is invisible from the front.
• Weave through the back loops of both squares in a zig-zag fashion.
• Tie off and weave in ends after joining all squares into strips, and then join strips together.

Preparing Strips:

• Lay out the strips and ensure the right sides face each other.
• Sew the strips together in the same invisible join manner.
• Knot the ends securely and weave in any loose ends.

Border:

Round 1 (Granny Stitch Border):

• Work double crochets around the blanket perimeter.
• In each corner, work two sets of three double crochets separated by a chain of three.
• Join and cut yarn.

Round 2 & 3 (Single Crochet Border):

Optional:

• May do 2 rounds of single crochets in beige or other color.
• Attach yarn into the corner space.
• Work three single crochets in corner spaces and one single crochet in each stitch around.
• For the second round, in the middle stitch of the previous round’s corner space, work three single crochets.
• Join and cut yarn.

Final Round (Shell Ruffle Stitch Border):

• Join yarn one stitch over from the corner center.
• Chain one (counts as a single crochet), skip the next stitch.
• Work five double crochets into the next stitch (corner center).
• Skip the next stitch and single crochet into the following stitch to create a shell pattern.
• Continue this pattern (skip, 5 double crochets, skip, single crochet) all around the blanket.
• Join and finish off.

Finishing:

• Weave in all remaining ends.
• Wash and block the blanket if desired.

Final Notes:

• Emily Anne reminds viewers to consider the back and front of their work when weaving in ends to keep the front looking nice and clean.
• Also, she emphasizes to make sure your squares are aligned when joining them and to take care of any loose tails before moving on to the border.
• Remember, this is a creative and artistic process, so feel free to personalize the colors and finishing techniques as you like.
