Simple Loop Granny Square Crochet Blanket
"This simple loop granny square crochet border is just one way to beautifully finish off a blanket. There is just something addicting about a granny square blanket. Once you get the hang of it, the possibilities are endless. Switch up the yarn colors, change the crochet edge, or even add in a few new styled granny squares. They are just so versatile and gorgeous. I spent most of last winter crocheting the squares. The end result was not in sight. I just kept making squares in colors that I thought worked well together. Then after joining them, it was fun to be creative the have a completely different overall look to each blanket as the edge was finished.This crochet pattern includes the directions to the crochet border, a video on how to crochet the granny square and complete the invisible join for joining the squares too."
