Crocheting a square blanket\u2014often called a Motif Blanket<\/strong> or a Granny Square Blanket<\/strong>\u2014is a deeply rewarding project.1<\/sup> The beauty of this method is its portability: you can crochet small squares while traveling or relaxing, and then join them later to create a magnificent, heirloom-quality piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this tutorial, we will focus on the “Cozy Lattice Square,”<\/strong> which features a solid center for warmth and a decorative edge that makes joining easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\uddf6 Preparation: Blanket Math & Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before starting, you need to decide on the size of your blanket. This determines how many squares you need to crochet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Materials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Yarn:<\/strong> Medium-weight Worsted (Size 4)<\/strong> yarn. Acrylic or a Cotton blend is best for blankets because they are machine-washable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Hook:<\/strong> 5.0 mm (H\/8)<\/strong> or 5.5 mm (I\/9)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Notions:<\/strong> A tapestry needle for weaving in ends and joining.2<\/sup><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Stitch Key (US Terms)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • ch:<\/strong> Chain<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • sl st:<\/strong> Slip Stitch<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • sc:<\/strong> Single Crochet<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • dc:<\/strong> Double Crochet<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Corner Cluster:<\/strong> (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in the same space.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Round 1: The Foundation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Make a Magic Ring<\/strong> (or ch 4 and sl st to first ch).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. ch 3 (counts as dc). Work 11 dc<\/strong> into the ring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. sl st to the top of the ch 3. (12 dc total).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Round 2: Doubling Up<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. ch 3. Work 1 dc<\/strong> in the same stitch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Work 2 dc<\/strong> in every stitch around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. sl st to top of ch 3. (24 dc total).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          Round 3: Squaring Off<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. ch 4<\/strong> (counts as 1 dc + ch 1). In the same stitch, work (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc)<\/strong>. This is your first corner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Side:<\/strong> ch 1, skip 2 stitches, 3 dc in next stitch, ch 1, skip 2 stitches.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Corner:<\/strong> In the next stitch, work (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          4. Repeat:<\/strong> Continue the Side and Corner pattern around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          5. Finish:<\/strong> sl st to the 3rd chain of the starting ch 4.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Round 4: The Lattice Expansion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. sl st into the corner ch-2 space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. ch 3, work (1 dc, ch 2, 2 dc)<\/strong> in the corner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            3. Side:<\/strong> Work 3 dc<\/strong> into every ch-1 space along the sides, with a ch 1<\/strong> between them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            4. Join with a sl st and fasten off.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
              \n\n\n\n

              \ud83e\udde9 Step 2: Joining the Squares<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              Once you have crocheted all your squares, it is time to assemble them. For blankets, the Mattress Stitch<\/strong> is the most professional-looking method because it creates a flat, invisible seam.3<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. Lay out your squares<\/strong> in your desired color pattern on a flat surface.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              2. Thread your needle<\/strong> with a long piece of yarn (usually the same color as the outer round of your squares).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              3. Sewing:<\/strong> Align two squares. Insert the needle into the inner loops<\/strong> (the loops closest to each other) of the stitches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              4. Zigzag:<\/strong> Move back and forth between the two squares like lacing a shoe. Do not pull too tight until you have finished a whole row; then, gently tug the yarn to make the seam disappear.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                \ud83c\udfa8 Step 3: The Magnificent Blanket Border<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                A border “frames” your work and hides any slight irregularities at the edges of your joined squares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                1. Round 1:<\/strong> Join yarn at any corner. Work sc<\/strong> into every stitch around the entire blanket. Work (sc, ch 2, sc)<\/strong> in the four main blanket corners.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                2. Round 2:<\/strong> ch 3. Work dc<\/strong> in every stitch around. This adds weight and “swing” to the blanket.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                3. Round 3 (Decorative):<\/strong> Work a Shell Stitch<\/strong> (5 dc in one stitch, skip 2, sc in next, skip 2) around the edge for a soft, scalloped look.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                  \ud83d\udca1 Pro-Tips for Blanket Success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  • Tension Consistency:<\/strong> Try to crochet all your squares in the same “mood.” If you crochet some while stressed and others while relaxed, the sizes may differ slightly!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Weave as You Go:<\/strong> Do not wait until the end to weave in your yarn tails. Weave them in after every 5 squares to avoid “finishing fatigue.”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Blocking:<\/strong> For a truly magnificent finish, pin your squares to a foam board and steam them lightly before joining. This ensures every square is a perfect 90-degree angle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
