Granny Square Baby Afghan

Granny Square Baby Afghan

Whenever you feel as though you are not getting any projects done. The granny square is always there to give you a jump start. I have certainly been neglecting my crochet lately so I decided I needed to finish something. This granny square afghan is orange, a multi color yarn, and a lime green (even though in the picture it looks blueish it is very much a loud lime green). I have left over yarn so I am going to do a completely different baby blanket. I really like this blanket though...maybe I should've made it bigger for myself.

I don't know the name of some of the squares that I am doing. The book that I am getting them from just has them numbered. So I am naming them on my own. Also when you see the time that is how long it took me. I am still pretty new so it my take you much less time.

Hook: I or 5.5

Yarn: Red Heart

Color: Peruvian

Finished Size: approx 8 inch square

Time: approx 3 hours

I had to delete the pattern. I thought the book was out of print but I saw it the other day at Michaels.

It took me 3 tries to get this right. The pattern was a little confusing. I didn't understand the part that says "working around the next..." you'll see what I mean. Also this square takes a bit of yarn. I would say about half a skein. So this is not a scrap yarn project unless you like the multicolor look which is actually quite pretty. The yarn I used is multicolored.
