Granny squares are a great introduction to crochet, opening the door to a world of project possibilities, from generous blankets to garments and accessories. The first four rounds of the 56 motifs that make up Natalie Beard’s Little Granny Fringe Blanket are quick to make and perfect for crocheting on-the-go. On the fifth round, for a swift and seamless join, you’ll connect them using the join-as-you-go method, before adding the fringe for a final dash of retro flair!

Measuring 100 x 120cm (plus fringe) the blanket is made with Scheepjes Softfun. This super soft DK yarn is available in a rainbow of classic shades, offering boundless colour possibilities, whatever your taste. Gentle to the touch, Softfun benefits from the breathability of Cotton blended with the easy-care properties of durable, lightweight Acrylic.
