Large Square Crochet Project Update


My vision for my blanket project is to make 4 large granny squares using the cream and the gold yarn. I purchased 6 skeins of each color and will use 3 on each block. My first block (above) is using 1 cream and 2 gold. I have paused making this one any bigger until I get my second one done. As you can see in the photo, there is more gold to be added but I also want to make sure I have enough to give the piece a nice finished edge. It currently measures 24" square.        


The second square is coming right along. I think this one will be one gold and 2 cream but I haven't committed to this. It currently measures 9.5" square.

I am really enjoying my third crochet project, especially how portable the project is and how I can easily added just a few stitches when I can a moment. 


I am not in a rush to finish and am looking forward to seeing how this comes together.

  1. I like that you are planning on changing up each block a little bit. How fun to have such a portable project!

  2. I agree about being able to pick up and put down a crocheted project. This one seems perfect for that. I like the way you're using only two colors, but making each quadrant a bit different. That's a great idea. Is this worsted yarn? Acrylic? It looks like it could have a little bit of cotton in it.
