  • In this video I would like to show you how to crochet a beautiful, two-color granny square that can be used to make a baby blanket, full size afghan, cushion cover, etc. I made a baby blanket.
    This pattern looks the best when worked in two contrasting colors (something light, and something dark). But for the purpose of the tutorial I use two light color yarns because crochet stitches are difficult to see on dark yarn.
    Materials for the baby blanket:
    Feels Like Butta yarn by Lion Brand (100% polyester, category 4), 5 skeins (3 in color yellow and two in color teal). (500 grams in total)
    Hooks sizes F (3.75 mm)
    Finished size: 30 by 30 inches
    Buy this yarn on Amazon (affiliate links):
    Yellow: amzn.to/3i5LPt5
    Teal: amzn.to/3i4wMQ6
    The written patten is available
    on Etsy: www.etsy.com/l...
    on Ravelry: www.ravelry.co...

      Debbie from the channel Canadian Crocheter made it in a rectangular shape and it looks great (she recently made a video about it).
