 Granny Squares

I stitched up 2 squares of each of the crochet squares.

Next, I chose the yarn I wanted for my trim 

Scramble in the colorway Rainbow by SUNDANCE.

I ordered 3 balls from Herrschners yarn.

Each ball has 3.5 oz.

I stitched of 6  solid 6 inch squares.

Here is the Link I used: LINK

This Gave Me 30 Squares To Work with.

Step 1 - Video 1 LINK

I randomly arranged the squares in a

 5 X 6 squares pattern.

>>Place the 1st 2 squares together, right sides out.

Join in the yarn, 2 sc in the corner of the 1st square.

2 Sc in the corner of the 2nd square,

 *ch 2, sk 2 sts of the 1st sq,

2 sc in the next sc of the 1st square,

ch 2, sk 2 sts of the 2nd sq,

2 sc in the next sc of the 2nd square*

Repeat from * to * across

 2 sc in the corner of the 1st square.

2 Sc in the corner of the 2nd square 

Please remember that one square may have more sts 

the the other, so you may need to sk 1 or 2 more sts to 

make them line up evenly

Repeat At >>  to <<

As you join each square

Once you have 6 squares Join

Repeat 5 Times

Join the 5 sets of 6 squares the same as above

stitching across the rows of 6 squares

Weave in the ends as you go

Now You are Ready For Step 2

Rectangle Picot Granny Blanket Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Rectangle Picot Granny Blanket

 Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I originally designed this blanket crochet pattern

 back in 2017. I have made several of them and really

 love this simple, yet elegant blanket pattern. 

I decided it was time to retest, and update the pattern

with new pictures and a brand new video tutorial.

This is a wonderfully light throw and also works

 great as wrap or shawl, because of it's rectangle shape.

The perfect thing to have on hand for those cool 

spring mornings and evenings. 

Toss it across the back of your chair, and toss on your

 shoulders at the office that freezes you out.

It's also great for a car blanket, you never know 

when you will need a blanket in the car.

Premier Yarn LINK

I used Premier Sweet Roll Frostie yarn,

in the Marzipan colorway.

Sweet Roll Frostie Yarn is available in 12 colors.

It is 100 % Acrylic, and each cake has 5 oz. / 245 yds.

It's a Medium (4) weight Yarn that is perfect for 

stitching up this Blanket.

"A twist on the classic Sweet Roll, Sweet Roll Frostie 

combines 4 colors in each ball, but with a unique 

dappled effect. This self-striping yarn is designed 

to create wide stripes in a regular repeat, eliminating

 the need to weave in so many ends when the color 

shifts. In 12 lovely hues ranging from pastels to brights

 to neutrals, Sweet Roll Frostie is perfect for all 

ages and a wide range of projects."

From The Premier Yarn Website.

 It takes about 15 ounces, but you can make it as large

 or small, as you would like.

It is a very simple Rectangle Granny Square,

 trimmed with a fun picot stitch.
