Textured Granny Square Blanket

Materials:

Yarn: worsted weight yarn (medium, #4) in maroon (approximately 300 yards), yellow (100 yards), dark green (100 yards), and light beige (100 yards)
Hook: Size H/8 (5.00 mm) crochet hook
Scissors
Tapestry needle for weaving ends

Gauge:

To ensure your squares are the correct size (approximately 6 inches). Make a gauge swatch of 10 single crochets (sc) and 10 rows; your swatch should measure about 4 inches in width and height. Adjust your hook size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.

Abbreviations:

ch = chain
sl st = slip stitch
sc = single crochet
dc = double crochet
tog = together

Instructions:

1. Make the Center Circle: Using your yellow yarn, make a magic ring, ch 3 (counts as first dc), and work 11 dc into the ring. Pull the ring tight and sl st to the top of the ch 3. You now have 12 dc.

2. Round 2: Change to maroon yarn, ch 3, (1 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in the same stitch (this creates a corner), *skip 1 stitch, (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in the next stitch*; repeat from * to * around. Sl st to the top of the ch 3 to join. You should have four corners and 8 side stitches.

3. Round 3: Change to dark green yarn, sl st in the next ch-2 space, ch 3, (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in the same space. *In each ch-2 space, (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc); repeat all around. Sl st to the top of the ch 3 to join.

4. Round 4: Change to light beige yarn, sl st in the ch-2 space, ch 3, (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in the same space. *In each ch-2 space, (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc); repeat all around. Sl st to the top of the ch 2 to join.

5. Repeat steps 1-4 three more times for a total of four squares.

6. Joining Squares: Place squares together with the right sides facing. Using your maroon yarn, join them with slip stitch in the back loop of both squares. Continue until all squares are connected. Form a blanket as long and wide as you desire.

Finishing:

Weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle. To give your blanket a polished look, consider blocking it, which involves wetting it and pinning it into shape. Allow it to dry completely.

Optional Variations:

You can switch the colors for a completely different look or add more rounds to your squares for a larger size. Experiment with different granny square variations for a more unique design.
