What do vibrant flowers, parquet tiles, and classic stripes have in common? They can all dress up your crochet blanket patterns through the same beloved technique—crochet granny squares. This is one of my favorite ways to work up an afghan because it’s so convenient; if you only have a few precious minutes for crocheting, you can whip up a few squares and assemble them later. No matter what your style is, you can find unique motifs to suit your personality and then incorporate them into your afghan. This makes your home decor extra personal, and these types of blankets also make very thoughtful gifts. One of my favorite presents that I ever received came from my grandmother, who spent many weeks working up a blanket for me because she knows how much I like to curl up in one and read.
I first knew I was obsessed with granny square patterns when I attended an elaborately designed play in a stunning theatre, and the first thing I noticed about the set was the granny square afghan on the bed! I’m not sorry to say that after working up one of our newest patterns featured here, you will be in the same boat. Granny squares are a lot like eating potato chips—how can you stop at one? That’s why we bring you 27 granny square afghans that will absolutely delight you and keep you at your hooks for many hours of enjoyment.
