A Modern Reinterpretation of the Good Ol’ Granny
Can I tell you a little secret? I’ve never been a huge fan of the conventional granny square. However, I have always appreciated putting a modern take on old themes, as shown in the famous Revival Cardigan. Sunburst granny squares have captured my heart since they don’t feel as retro as traditional grannies.
The rhythm of the granny stitch is incredibly calming to me since you don’t have to pay attention to where you’re placing your hook. Simply aim someplace around the space and you’ll be OK. The granny stitch is also a great method to work with fuzzy or more sophisticated yarns, such in the Tributary Baby Blanket or the Done in a Weekend Blanket.
The puff stitch “flowers” in the midst of the Dahlia Scrapgan make each granny square appear subtle and contemporary. No matter what your decorating style is, I think these modern grannies will look great!

Explanation: Combine yarns of varying weights and complementary colors to make a blanket that your eyes can’t help but dance across. Because each square is crocheted separately, this is an excellent contemplative craft for when you’re on the move. A continuous crochet joining technique easily joins everything together, leaving you with fewer ends to weave in and a blanket constructed with no sewing!
SQUARE CREATION
Notes: Regardless of the weight yarn used for the puff circle, this part is knit with category 4 (worsted weight) yarn.
Once again, the square is worked with the correct side of the cloth facing you. At the end of each round, do not turn.
Make 20 squares, or whatever many squares are required to finish your desired blanket size.
Using a smaller hook and Category 4 MC yarn, make the following:
Join yarn in any of the puff circle’s chsp.
