Materials Needed:

• 9 mm crochet hook (use 8 mm if you crochet tightly)
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle
• Bernat Blanket Yarn in three shades:
• Smokey Green
• Pale Gray
• Burnt Mustard
• An off-white color for joining squares and the last two rounds (e.g., Birch)

Pattern Overview:

• This pattern involves making granny squares that start as circles and then are turned into squares. These are then joined to create the blanket.

Circle Pattern:

Start with a Magic Ring:

•  using your chosen color for the circle (BC or D).

Round 1:

• Chain 3 (counts as one double crochet). Make 12 double crochets into the magic ring (13 stitches including the initial chain-3). Close and slip stitch to join.

Round 2:

• Chain 3 (counts as one double crochet). Increase in every stitch by making two double crochets in each space. You’ll have 24 stitches by the end of this round.

For Round 3:

• Begin clusters. Chain 3 (counts as one double crochet). For the first cluster, yarn over, insert the hook, pull through, yarn over, pull through the first two loops on the hook. Repeat this twice more in the same space. You’ll have three partial double crochets on the hook. Yarn over, pull through all loops. Chain 2, skip one stitch, and make another cluster in the next stitch. Repeat this sequence to create a total of 12 clusters. Finish the round with a chain 3 (for a hidden chain 2 effect) and fasten off.

Converting Circles into Squares:

Start with Main Color (A):

•  Insert your hook into any chain-2 space. Lock with a chain stitch.

First Stitch Sequence:

• In the first space, make half double crochet, another half double crochet, and a single crochet.

Second Stitch Sequence:

• Reverse the order in the next space (single crochet, half double crochet, half double crochet).

Corner Creation:

• Make two double crochets, chain two, and two double crochets in the same space.

Repeat the side sequences and corners:

• around the circle to form a square.

Joining Squares and Finishing the Blanket:

• Make 14 squares of each color.
• Join the squares using the slip stitch method in the back loops to create the blanket pattern.
• For the border, do half double crochet stitches all around, treating corners with special attention by making half double crochet, chain two, half double crochet in corner spaces.

Border:

• Do two rounds of half double crochets around the entire blanket. Get creative or keep it simple, as per your preference.
