Farmhouse Granny Crochet Blanket fresh off my hook!

Time is a luxury, and that makes it precious, but now during lockdown we have so much time. Time to read, time to cook, and time to make things. My latest make is a Farmhouse Granny crochet blanket…

Such a pleasure to crochet and a super-fast hook up, mainly because the pattern calls for chunky yarn and a size 6mm hook.

  • Stitches. Chain, dc (UK) or SC (US) puff stitch and treble (UK) or double crochet (US)
  • Time taken about 28 hours, OR 2 hours each evening whilst watching TV!

Alternative Yarns

Changes I made to the farmhouse Granny Crochet Blanket:

Added a simple dc – UK (SC-US) border. after joining all my squares in a 6 x 4 rectangle. Then crocheted 5 rounds, with a chain at start of each round to keep it straight. I did not block the squares, instead I gave the whole blanket a gentle, albeit cool wash in the machine, hung it to dry, by folded in half over the washing line. It came out perfectly…

A word on Joining.

EDIT – I followed instructions and sewed the squares together. My favourite way of joining squares is by crocheting them together. I wish in retrospect that I had crocheted them as usual, because they have since come undone, which is exactly why I prefer a crochet join! It’s a much stronger method of joining.

I wrap the blanket around me to watch TV in the evening, then I take it to bed and wrap it around my shoulders to read. (It must be my age shhh)
