GRANNY
SQUARE 5 for Hundred Hands
The
split granny square pattern
This is my fifth blog for squares
going to The Blankets of Love program by A Hundred Hands in India.
The yarn for this full set of
squares has been gifted to me by my lovely friend, Nazneen. I donate
these squares in her name, as she is unable to make the squares herself. Thank you all for joining me in spreading
smiles.

International yarns : Among the international yarns I have used, I’d suggest Aunt Lydia Cotton 10, Aunt Lydia Bamboo-Viscose 10, DMC Petra, Sullivans knitting cotton (Australia), Milford Soft, Hilaza Rustica Eclat , Alize cotton yarn and Alize bamboo yarn.
Skill level : Advanced
Size made : 8” x 8”

terminology)
Double Crochet : dc : yo,
insert hk into st ; yo (3 lps on hk) ;
[yo, draw through 2 lps]
twice. One dc made.
Chainless start for Double Crochet : I
dislike the ch-2 / ch – 3 start, and this is what I do to start my row of
dc.

terminology
The beauty of this pattern is
enhanced when you use different colors of yarn.
Do check out these easy video
tutorials on working with different colors of yarn
However, as you can see, it looks as
great when you are working with single colors as well :)
Once you have made as many squares
as you want for your blanket, use one of these joining methods for a neat join.
I am sure you enjoyed this! I
