Ma & Pop Matching Granny Rectangle Blankets


I've been enjoying making Granny Rectangle Blankets, and so I decided my parents needed some.  This is basically the same pattern l I used for A Baby Shower Gift Set except I used much more yarn and made it much larger.  

I used a total of 10 skeins for both blankets, so about 5 for each.  I did the full skein of the red, orange, and green/teal for each one but then I started splitting the colors in half.  I tried to do this by weighing the skein as I worked off of it, but it wasn’t as reliable as I wanted it to be.  So then I just guessed the right amount from the OUTSIDE pull on one blanket and then without detaching did the same amount from the same skein on the second blanket using the CENTER pull and got them even.     





Materials for 2 Blankets

Below are the colors I used in order:

Blanket A:                


Blanket B:                



The finished blanket measures approximately 53 x 42 inches, but it can stretch to be a tad larger.


Ch 24


Row 1: 3dc in the 6th ch from hook, ch 1, *skip 2 ch, 3dc in next, ch 1, repeat from * until you get to the last ch, ch5 and sl into the same ch at the last cluster of 3dc.  


Row 2:  Rotate your work so you are on the opposite side of your base ch. Sl to next ch2 sp.  Ch 3 (counts as stitch), 2dc in ch2 space, ch 1, *3dc in next ch2 sp, ch 1 and repeat from *until you reach the ch5 sp.  In the ch5 sp 3dc, ch2, 3dc, ch2, 3dc, ch1. Now that you are on the other side *3dc in next ch1 sp, ch 1 and repeat from *until you reach the ch5 sp. In the ch5 sp 3dc, ch2, 3dc, ch2, 3dc, ch1, sl to top of ch 3.


Row 3-on: Sl to the next ch1 sp. Ch 3 (counts as stitch), 2dc in ch1 space, ch 1, *3dc in next ch1 sp, ch 1 and repeat from *until you reach the corner/ ch2 sp.  In the corner sp 3dc, ch2, 3dc, ch1. Contine around putting 3dc in a ch1 space and 3dc, ch2, 3dc in a ch2/corner sp.


You can keep going for as long as you want until the blanket is the size you like.


As I ran out of a color of yarn, I switched to another color and just joined wherever it had run out.










Edging: ch3 (counts as stitch), 1 dc in each stitch, 1 dc in each ch1 space, and 5 dc in each corner space, sl to the first stitch.

Textured Crossbody Tote Bag

I needed to make something for my niece's birthday, and I had a 10oz Skein of Red Heart Super Saver Ombre that I wanted to use as much as possible to make her a bag.  I couldn't find a pattern that clearly stated it would take around the amount of yarn (482 yards) that is in one of these, so I just sat down and started doing some things and out came this bag.  I used almost the entire skein, I had enough left to make 2 tassels, so I did and added those to the bag.   Materials Needed: Approx 10oz of   Worsted Weigh t or similar yarn, I used Red Heart Super Saver Ombre . 5mm Crochet Hook Stitch Marker Tapestry needle  (for weaving in ends) Optional: Tassel Maker Body: Ch 47 Row 1: Sc in 3rd ch from hook, sc in each ch across, 45 st.  Rotate, and sc in each ch on the other side, 45 st. (90 st). Place Marker. Row 2 - 4: Work in rounds, using your stitch marker at the end of each row to keep count.  Sc in each st (90 st) until the end of the ...

Granny Square Market Bag

Materials Needed: Around 590yd of DK yarn, I used Lion Brand Yarn 525-201 Mandala Yarn, Unicorn, 1-Pack 5mm Crochet Hook I also love to use my Boye Ergonomic Crochet Hook Handle , it really makes a difference! Stitch Marker Tapestry needle  (for weaving in ends) Summary: You can really use any granny square to do this.  It doesn’t have to be the same size or style as mine.  The idea is to make a large granny square, then cinch the top and bottom a lot and the sides a little less.  So if you are using a granny square you already have or one that’s different in size, just follow from row 24 on.  The chain 80 is for the straps, so you can adjust those on your preference.  Abbreviations: st = stitch ch = chain sc = single crochet dc = double crochet sl = slip stitch hhdc = herringbone half double crochet Pattern: Row 1: ch 4, sl in 1st ch to form a ring.  Ch 3(counts as stitch), 2dc, ch2, *3dc ch2* repeat from * until you have 4 clusters of dc, sl to top o...

Granny Square Shrug Sweater

   I had seen a few granny square sweaters and shrugs, and I wanted to try making one.  This is a bit more of a "recipe" than a pattern.  I have written down exactly how I made one that fit me, but I also have notes on where to make adjustments and try it on to see if you need to make those changes.   Materials Needed: 6mm Crochet Hook Red Heart Comfort Yarn-Hot Pink , 1 ball Red Heart Super Saver Black , approximately 1.5 skeins Stitch Marker Tapestry needle (for weaving in ends) Summary: You can really use any granny square to do this.  It doesn’t have to be the same size or style as mine.  The idea is to make a large granny square, then cinch the top and bottom a lot and the sides a little less.  So if you are using a granny square you already have or one that’s different in size, just start with "Securing into Sweater Shape."  Abbreviations: st = stitch ch = chain sc = single crochet dc = double crochet sl = slip stitch ...
