The Granny Stitch is a classic, multi-use stitch. It is a great beginner stitch, and it makes a wonderful carry-along project because once you master it, there is no pattern required. It looks great in almost any yarn, and is both warm in the winter and airy in the summer.

I make a lot of Granny Stitch blankets, so I thought it was about time I make a video on how to get started on your own blanket.

Sample is made in Red Heart Super Saver, Icelandic.

Granny Square Blanket Crochet Pattern with Border | Hooked by Kati

When your blanket is the size you want, you can add a border. This isa simple picot border that I think looks finished and understated. A "picot" (pronounced PEE-koh) is a word meaning border with loops or twists. In crochet, it is often made by chaining 3, then slip stitching into the 1st chain.

Tip: To guarantee ripple-free, straight edges, go down a hook size when working the border.

Without changing color, ch 1, work one round with sc in every dc, 2 sc in each ch-2 space, and 4 sc in all four corner ch-3 spaces.

Change color, ch 1, and work [5 sc, ch 3, sl st in 1st ch] around. Sl st into first st to join.
