Granny Pinwheel Blanket

13 July 2018 by Sylwia (MyCrochetory) 3 Comments

Granny Pinwheel Blanket - free pattern with photo tutorial by www.mycrochetory.com

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.

    I wish I would have known this technique when I was creating my nephew’s blanket. I had to cut and tie each color change as I went around each block. I swore I’d never do it again haha

      This pattern i called a soiled granny square instead of clusters, double crochets are used in every chain. this why there is a lot of cutting .

    How do you “continue with round 2” when the first time and second time you are on different colors? I have tried this twice, and cannot understand. Thank you for any help! Heidi
