Materials You’ll Need

Medium-weight cotton or acrylic yarn in white and mustard yellow
A crochet hook suited to your yarn (4mm or 4.5mm recommended)
Scissors
A tapestry needle for weaving in loose ends

Types of Squares Used

This blanket is made up of three different crochet square designs:

Simple Textured Square – Created using single or half-double crochet stitches
Classic Granny Square – Made with groups of three double crochet stitches

Simple Textured Square Pattern

Start with a foundation chain of 25 stitches.
Work single crochet (or half-double crochet) into the second chain from the hook and continue across the row.
Turn your work, chain one (for single crochet) or chain two (for half-double crochet), and repeat until you have a square shape.
Cut the yarn and fasten off securely.

Classic Granny Square Pattern

Begin with a magic ring and chain three (this counts as your first double crochet).
Work two double crochet stitches into the ring, followed by two chain stitches.
Repeat this pattern of “three double crochets + two chain stitches” three more times.
Pull the magic ring tight and join with a slip stitch into the third chain of your starting chain.
Continue working in rounds, placing three double crochets into each space and using two chains to separate the corners.
Keep going until the square reaches the desired size.

Assembling the Blanket

Lay out your squares on a flat surface and arrange them in a pattern you like.
Use the invisible seam method with a tapestry needle, or join the squares with crochet stitches.
First, sew the squares into individual rows, then join the rows together.

Adding a Decorative Border

Work a round of single crochet stitches around the entire blanket to create a clean edge.
For a stylish touch, try a “one double crochet, skip one stitch, one single crochet” pattern to create a subtle wavy effect.
Finish with a delicate crochet edging for a polished and elegant look.

Final Tips for a Flawless Finish

Blocking your squares before assembling will ensure a neater and more even final result.
Using high-quality yarn enhances durability and softness.
Experiment with different colour combinations to personalise your design.

Now, grab your crochet hook and start crafting this beautiful and timeless blanket! Happy crocheting!
