Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed steps to create your own Pastel Granny Square Crochet Blanket:

1. Start with a Magic Ring:
   • Wrap the yarn around your fingers to create a loop, then pull the working yarn through the loop to form a magic ring.
2. Round 1:
   • Ch 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
   • Into the magic ring, work 2 double crochets (dc).
   • Ch 2 to create a corner space.
   • Repeat the following sequence 3 more times: *3 dc into the ring, ch 2; repeat from *.
   • Join the round by slip stitching (sl st) to the top of the initial ch-3. You should have 12 dc and 4 ch-2 spaces.
3. Round 2:
   • Slip stitch to the next ch-2 space.
   • Ch 3, then work 2 dc in the same space.
   • Ch 2 for the corner, then work 3 dc in the same space.
   • Repeat the following sequence 3 more times: *3 dc in the next ch-2 space, ch 2, 3 dc in the same space; repeat from *.
   • Join with a sl st to the top of the initial ch-3. You should have 24 dc and 4 ch-2 spaces now.
4. Round 3:
   • Slip stitch to the next ch-2 space.
   • Ch 3, then work 2 dc in the same space.
   • Ch 2 for the corner, then work 3 dc in the same space.
   • Next, work 3 dc in the space between the 3-dc groups, then 3 dc in the next ch-2 space, ch 2, and 3 dc in the same space.
   • Repeat this sequence 3 more times: *3 dc in the next space between 3-dc groups, 3 dc in the next ch-2 space, ch 2, 3 dc in the same space; repeat from *.
   • Join with a sl st to the top of the initial ch-3. You should now have 36 dc and 4 ch-2 spaces.
5. Finish the Square:
   • Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle.
6. Repeat:
   • Repeat steps 1-5 for each color (pastel green, cream, and blue) to create multiple granny squares.
7. Join the Squares:
   • Using a whip stitch or slip stitch seam, join the squares together to form your blanket.
8. Add a Border:
   • Finish your blanket with a border of your choice around the entire blanket for a polished look.
