Materials, Yarn & Finished Size
This pattern uses DK (Double Knitting) weight yarn, also known as 3/Light or 8-ply in some regions.

- Fibre: 100% Cotton
- Ball weight: 50 g
- Length: 100 m per ball
You may use any yarn you enjoy. Keep in mind:
- Lighter yarn and a smaller hook will produce smaller squares and a smaller blanket.
- Heavier yarn and a larger hook will produce larger squares and a larger blanket.
- This pattern works well as a stash buster, so feel free to mix colours and yarns of the same weight.

Resizing Guide
How Many Skeins of Yarn Do I Need?
Yarn usage depends on your chosen yarn, hook size, and blanket size:
- Pattern example: 12 large flower squares using DK cotton (50 g = 100 m) require approximately 4800 m for the squares, plus 1000–1200 m for the border and finishing.
- Per square estimate: Each square uses roughly 400 m of DK yarn.
- Custom sizes: Use the Resizing & Yarn Choice Guide below to calculate total squares and yarn for your desired blanket size.
Tip: This pattern is also a great stash-buster, perfect for using leftover yarn from other projects.
What Size Should a Crochet Blanket Be?
Blanket size is completely customizable:
- Example size: 110 × 145 cm / 44 × 56 inches, made from 12 squares (33 × 33 cm each).
- Smaller blankets: Remove rows or columns to make a baby blanket or lap throw.
- Larger blankets: Add extra squares to create a full-size bedspread or oversized throw.
Steps to resize your crochet blanket pattern:
1. Make one test square with your chosen yarn and hook, and block it if needed.
2. Measure the finished square to see how big each one will be.
3. Decide how many squares you need across (width) and down (height) to reach your target blanket size.
4. Adjust the border rounds for longer or shorter edges as needed.
Using Different Yarn Weights
You can use different yarn weights for this crochet blanket pattern, but here’s what to keep in mind:
- Heavier yarn (Aran/Worsted): Squares will be larger and thicker, so you’ll need fewer squares for the same overall size.
- Lighter yarn (Sport/Fingering): Squares will be smaller, requiring more squares for the same blanket dimensions.
- Hook size: Use the recommended hook for your yarn, or adjust slightly for tighter or looser stitches.
Tip: Make a test square to see how the new yarn weight and hook affect size and drape before committing to the full blanket.
Resizing & Joining Squares
- Add or remove squares to adjust width and height.
- Check stitch counts along each side of your squares so joining remains simple and neat.
- Keep hook and yarn consistent across all squares in one blanket.
- Use the Flat Braid Join (or your preferred joining method) to attach squares cleanly.
- Adjust border rounds based on the new number of squares to maintain balanced edges.
Yarn Usage & Calculation
1. Crochet one full square and measure how much yarn it uses.
2. Multiply by the total number of squares you plan to make.
3. Add extra for border and finishing (pattern suggests 1000–1200 m).
This method ensures you have enough yarn for your custom-sized blanket without overbuying or running short.
Final Tips
- Plan your color placement, especially if adding or removing rows or columns.
- Weave in ends as you go to save finishing time.
- Stick to the same hook and yarn weight for consistent square size and easy joining.

Flat Braid Join
For a polished, professional finish, this granny square blanket pattern uses the Flat Braid Join-As-You-Go method. This crochet join creates a decorative, flexible connection between squares without bulky seams or extensive sewing.
Flat Braid Join Tips:
- Join squares as you complete the final round
- Use consistent chain loops for even spacing
- Maintain relaxed tension for a flat, flexible join
- Always join at chain spaces for clean corners

Flat Braid Join – 12 Large Squares (4 × 3 Layout)
Abbreviations:
- ch = chain
- sc = single crochet
- sl st = slip stitch
- sp = space
- sk = skip
Notes:
- Right side (RS) of squares always faces you.
- Each square has 64 stitches per side + corner ch-sp.
- Join uses 1 sc, ch 2, sk 2, 1 sc repeat with slip stitch connections between squares.

- Along first side:
ch 2, sk 2, 1 sc in next sp
repeat across 64 sts to the next corner.
In corner: 1 sc, ch 2, 1 sc.
Continue along next side:
ch 2, sk 2, 1 sc in sp
Repeat across 64 sts to the next corner.
In the corner: 1 sc, ch 2, 1 sc, ch 2 (ready to join the next square).
Step 3: Join Next Square in Row (Square 2)
- Place Square 2 to the left of Square 1, RS facing up.
- In the corner of Square 2: 1 sc, ch 2, 1 sc. sl st into corner of Square 1 to connect.
Join sides:
1. On Square 2: ch 2, sk 2, 1 sc in sp
2. sl st into matching sp on Square 1.
3. Repeat until the next corner.
4. In corner of Square 2: 1 sc, ch 2, 1 sc
5. sl st into the corner of Square 1 to connect corners.
6. Continue around Square 2 alone:
ch 2, sk 2, 1 sc across next side (64 sts) to corner, 1 sc, ch 2, 1 sc in corner
ch 2, sk 2, 1 sc across final side (64 sts) to corner, 1 sc, ch 2, 1 sc, ch 2 to join next square
Step 4: Repeat for Squares 3 & 4 in Row 1
Repeat Step 3 for Squares 3 and 4, joining each to the previous square using the same flat braid sequence.
When Row 1 is complete, you have 4 joined squares in a strip.
Step 5: Join Row 2 (Squares 5 – 8)
Repeat Steps 2 – 4 for Row 2, joining Squares 5–8 into a strip the same way as Row 1.
Step 6: Join Row 3 (Squares 9 – 12)
Repeat Steps 2 – 4 for Row 3, joining Squares 9–12 into a strip the same way as Row 1.
Step 7: Join Horizontal Seams Between Rows
- Place Row 1 and Row 2 RS up, edges touching.
- Start at the corner: 1 sc, ch 2, 1 sc in Row 2 corner, sl st into Row 1 corner to join.
- Join sides with ch 2, sk 2, 1 sc in Row 2 → sl st in Row 1 sp.
- Repeat across the entire seam until all squares in Row 2 are joined to Row 1.
