Granny Squares Baby Blanket
Part 1:
Granny Squares Baby Blanket: Square A
In the first class, we’ll focus on Square A, which is comprised of simple stitch combinations worked in rounds. Not only will you learn how to read a written crochet pattern and chart, but you’ll also learn how to switch colors and make sure you’re getting the right gauge. Once you’ve mastered this square, you’ll go on to crochet twelve more in exactly the same way.
Part 2:
Granny Squares Baby Blanket: Square B
Now that you’ve tackled square A, it’s time to switch focus and learn how to crochet Square B. This square features a straightforward design, with alternating rounds of single crochet and double crochet. You’ll whip up twelve of these squares in no time, and then you’ll be ready to join them all together in the next class.
