GIANT GRANNY BLANKET

Made 2018 for my New Grandson 

Hardanger blanket a combination of granny squares 

USING COLOUR IN A GRANNY
Can make for some very exciting blankets...even in just 2 colours. 

BASIC 4 ROUND GRANNY SQUARE EACH ROUND A NEW COLOUR
US Terms,

dc, is ch2 to start, 
4mm hook for dc
5mm hook for Aran, 
6mm hook for chunky or 2 strands of dc
Sets of 3dc are called Granny Shells.

NOTES: Up to about 4 rounds working on one side of the granny square is OK, if making a larger granny then it is best worked alternate sides, turning and working both ways on a large granny square will stop any misshaped square and keep it a square.
