Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Create the Granny Squares

1. Begin with a magic ring.
2. Round 1: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then make 2 double crochets (dc) in the ring. Chain 2. Repeat the following sequence 3 more times: *3 dc in the ring, chain 2; repeat from * 2 more times. Join the round with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the beginning chain-3. (You should have 12 dc and 4 chain-2 spaces.)
3. Round 2: Slip stitch in the next 2 dc and into the first chain-2 space. Chain 3 (counts as dc), then make (2 dc, chain 2, 3 dc) in the same chain-2 space. For the next chain-2 spaces, make 3 dc in the next chain-2 space, chain 2, and then 3 dc in the same space. Repeat this for the remaining chain-2 spaces. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain-3. (You should have 24 dc and 4 chain-2 spaces.)
4. Round 3: Slip stitch in the next 2 dc and into the first chain-2 space. Chain 3 (counts as dc), then make (2 dc, chain 2, 3 dc) in the same chain-2 space. For the next spaces, make 3 dc in the space between the 3-dc groups, then (3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc) in the next chain-2 space. Repeat this for the remaining spaces. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain-3. (You should have 36 dc and 4 chain-2 spaces.)
5. Continue this pattern, increasing the number of 3-dc groups on each side of the square until the desired size is reached. Each square should measure 6 inches x 6 inches.
6. Make a total of 36 squares, alternating colors for each round to create a harmonious blend.

2. Join the Squares

1. Arrange your squares in a 6x6 grid.
2. Using a whip stitch or slip stitch, join the squares together. Ensure that the stitches are tight enough to hold the squares together securely.

3. Add the Border

1. Round 1: Attach yarn in any corner of the blanket. Chain 1, then single crochet (sc) evenly around the blanket, working 3 sc in each corner to create a smooth curve. Join with a slip stitch to the first sc.
2. Round 2: Chain 3 (counts as dc), then double crochet in each sc around, working 3 dc in each corner stitch. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain-3.
3. Fasten off and weave in all ends using a yarn needle.
