Pattern Instructions:

Making the Granny Squares:

Start with the red yarn: Chain 6 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring.
Round 1: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), then do 2 dc into the ring. Ch 2, then repeat (3 dc, ch 2) three more times. Join with a sl st to the top of the ch-3. You should have 4 clusters of 3 dc.
Round 2: Change to white yarn. Slip stitch to the next ch-2 space. Ch 3 (counts as first dc), then work (2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in the same space. Repeat in each ch-2 space around. Join with a sl st to the top of the ch-3. You should have 4 corners.
Round 3: Change to green yarn. Slip stitch to the next ch-2 space. Ch 3, (2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in the same space, then do (3 dc in the next ch-2 space). Repeat this pattern around. Join with a sl st. You should have 4 clusters of 3 dc between corners.
Round 4: Change to beige yarn. Slip stitch to the next ch-2 space. Ch 3, do (2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in the corner spaces, then (3 dc in each of the next clusters). Repeat around and join. Cut yarn and weave in ends.

Assembling the Blanket:

Make enough squares until you have a total of 20 squares (4 squares by 5 squares).
Join squares using the whip stitch method. Lay out your squares in the desired pattern before sewing (e.g., alternating colors for a checkerboard effect).
Start by joining the squares row-wise, then join rows together. Make sure to keep the tension consistent for a neat appearance.

Border:

Using the beige yarn, attach it to any corner of the blanket with a slip stitch.
Ch 1, then sc around the entire blanket, making (3 sc in each corner). This will provide a neat finish.
After reaching back to the starting point, join with a sl st and cut yarn, weaving in all ends.

Finishing Tips:

After completing your blanket, consider blocking it. This will help even out any irregularities and give it a polished look. Wet the blanket, gently stretch it to the desired dimensions, and pin it down until dry.
This blanket can be customized with different colors based on personal preference.
