Christmas Shimmer Peppermint Granny Square And Blanket Crochet Pattern

Christmas Shimmer Peppermint

 Granny Square

And Blanket Crochet Pattern

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I have wanted to design a Peppermint Christmas Blanket
 For a few years. I Love peppermint coffee, candy, 
ice cream and anything peppermint.  I could
 not decide on what yarn to use. That is until I found the

 Premier Basix Shimmer Peppermint. It is the perfect shade

of Christmas red, and bright white, and has a thread of

 metallic running through it. Yes, It is perfect matched

with the Bright White of the Premier Just Yarn. 

I decided to make it a granny square style blanket.

That way it can be just about any size, depending on 

how many of the 9 inch squares you want to make.

It is a throw blanket for tossing over a chair, couch or bed,

 but also a blanket for a Christmas baby gift.

It also makes a festive nice lap blanket.

The Squares can be used for a pillow, bag, wrap

 poncho and scarf. As well as, a table runner or 

place mats. That is why I love Granny Squares so

 much, there are just so many uses for them
