I’m so happy to see the excitement around this new project I’m working on! I’m creating a Corner-to-Corner (C2C) blanket but this time I am using the Granny Stitch! The granny stitch is a crowd favorite and I’m so excited to show you that you can use this stitch while working diagonally in the corner to corner format. I’ve created a video for you with a small swatch of this project. This was the easiest way to teach both the increases and decreases. The finished blanket that I am working on will be in a separate blog post that is coming soon! There is a very special story behind this project and the colors I chose to use but I want to save that for later 🙂

I love this pattern and am getting ready to start the decrease. However, I want to make it rectangular and will only be decreasing one side. Does that then mean that only on the one side I will put just the one double crochet? I’m thinking that’s how it how it should be but now I’m second guessing myself. Thank you!

I have just finished 2 pair of your Baby UGG boots, and I was wondering what I might attempt next. I didn’t have far to look to find the pattern for this beautiful blanket. I am almost 60 years old (in a month!) and when I was a little girl, probably 4 or 5 years old, my Grandmother crocheted a granny square dolly sized blanket for me and one for my cousin. I don’t have any grandchildren yet, but my cousin has 2 beautiful grandaughters and I think that I will make one of these for both of them. Thank you so much for sharing all your beautiful patterns. You are my
“go to” site for all things crochet!!
