 SIMPLE
CROCHETED BLANKET SQUARES
(7" square) 4 ply worsted weight yarn in various colors (scraps work well). Size G crochet hook Ch 31 (or whatever gives you 7") Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook, and in every ch in the foundation. Ch 1 and turn. Row 2: Working under the 2 top loops of each st in previous row, sc across row. Ch 1 and turn. Repeat Row 2 until piece = 7" inches, then fasten off. |
KNITTED 'SEED'
SQUARE
4 ply worsted weight yarn and size 8 knitting needles. Cast on 33 sts. Row 1: Knit 1, purl 1, k1, p1 across row...ending with a knit stitch. Row 2: Repeat row 1 until you have a 7" square. (I really enjoy this pattern because of the fun textured effect.) Blankets need to be approximately 40" x 60", but any size is welcome. Put together 7" squares in rows of 5 (35") x 8 (56") and then add a double crocheted edge around, which will add another 2" on all sides |

SQUARE #
2 (7" square)
I am using 4 ply worsted yarn in bright colors, but any colors will do, you can even use up your scraps. This is so easy--perfect for beginners! Size I hook and 4
ply yarn
in any bright colors.
You can add 'texture'
by crocheting
in the back loops only.
HELPFUL HINTS:
Since
everyone crochets a bit differently, feel free to change the # of sts
and
rows to = 7". Be sure to crochet for 2 rows before deciding how
wide
it is.
