Magic Square Baby Blanket
From time to time, I sit down between large projects, experimenting with new small crochet pieces, such as coasters and granny squares. Sometimes nothing interesting comes out, but I think, this time, it really turned out well. A magic granny square that turns from a circle shape to almost a square, without the usual angles made of a number of chain stitches.
Since I really liked this magic granny square, I decided to come up with a project made of a number of it. I found this nice Alize cotton baby yarn, I chose two pastel colors, because they are my favorite, and here it is.
Skill level: Easy

Cut yarn, weave in loose ends and block if needed.
Joining the granny squares:
Note: Because the square I made has round corners, I had to come up with a flexible joining method to make the blanket look nice and tidy. I should thank The Patch Work Heart for the inspiration. I used their method, but made minor changes to suit my granny squares' round corners.
Follow the pattern below:
First row: start making the roller coaster row from the corner of a granny square and follow the arrows I've drawn, or the full instructions in the link. But make the numbers of chain stitches I mentioned at the corners.
- Remember when you finish this row, all the granny squares will be attached and the rectangle blanket is complete.
- Only the corners attachments need care
Lastly, feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions or find something confusing in the pattern.
