Autumn Flower Granny Square Housewarming Blanket
Hoooo-boy the granny squares! There are 8 different crocheted granny square patterns that make up this Afghan size blanket. Created using 8 yarn colors from the Plymouth Yarn Company “Encore” line of wool & acrylic blend yarns. I made this blanket with a whole boat load of love for my niece and her fiancé as a housewarming gift. Links to the pattern creators as well as the artists that created the suede note and blanket tag are included on this page.
This blanket is 8 squares wide by 13 squares long, equaling 104 squares. Each square is approximately 6”x6”. Each square takes an average of 40-50 minutes to complete. All told, this blanket, including putting it together & edging, took about 90 hours.
Care Instructions:
Machine Wash on Cold, Gentle Cycle
Tumble Dry Low (for best results: tumble dry low until halfway dry, then lay flat to finish air-drying)
