Today I want to share my new crochet pattern with you for gorgeous Granny Pinwheel Blanket.

I know it’s not that time of year when we want to make cuddly blankets in the first place but I trully believe you don’t just walk away from that beautiful and modern pattern.

Crocheting is a wonderful craft that helps you to create many unique and outstanding items.

Especially when it comes to crochet granny squares from which possibilities are endless. You can make simple and solid granny squares or let your imagination run wild and experiment with different shapes, colors, crochet techniques and textures.

Find the full free pattern below or purchase the ad-free, printable PDF  crochet pattern HERE on ETSY or HERE on Ravelry.

The idea for this crochet blanket was in my head for a long time. I want to make contemporary and geometric shaped home decor with my fav colors right now.

Granny Pinwheel Blanket consists of 48 granny squares joined together with a mattress stitch and assembled with one row of half double crochet.

The pattern for one 3-color square might seem complex at first sight,that’s why I’ve created a step-by-step picture tutorial below. I hope you find it helpful.

You can adjust blanket size according to your preferences and make it as big or small as you’d like. But you have to remember two things: you may need more or less yarn that stated in the pattern and cotton blankets tend to get heavy so you would use another type of yarn.

Materials & Tools:

1. Yarn Drops Paris 100% Cotton (50g/75m), 19 balls:

• 9 balls of Mustard (41),
• 5 balls of Off White (17),
• 5 balls of Black (15).

2. Hook size 5 mm. Adjust  hook size if necessary to obtain correct gauge.
3. Tapestry needle (to weave and hide yarn ends)
4. Scissors

Level:

Intermediate – magic ring, playing with three yarns, mattress stitch join

Gauge after blocking:

Each square measures 14cm. Gauge is not crucial for this project. However, changes might result in a different yardage requirements and the finished size.

Size after blocking:

Finished blanket measures approx. 85 x 112 cm.

Notes:

• The single square has 5 rounds but you can make your square as large as you’d like by adding/subtracting rounds.
• Blanket is joined using a Mattress Stitch (tutorial HERE) and later framed with a half double crochet.
• If you are planning on making a different size keep in mind that cotton blankets tend to get heavy. You can use any type of yarn for that pattern.

Stitches & Abbreviations (US terms):

 ch – chain stitch

st(s) – stitch(es)

sl st – slip stitch

hdc – half double crochet

dc – double crochet
