Granny Square Lap Blanket - White, Greens, Pinks, Yellows, Blues

Size: 35 inches x 50 inches

Colors: Leftovers (mostly Caron Perfect Match)

Pattern: Granny Square Lap Blanket - White, Tan, Greens, Pinks, Yellows, Blues - Design by Cheryl Lambert

Hook: I

Date: start February 10 using leftover squares from blanket just finished; finish February 12

I had 5 squares leftover from the previous granny square lap blanket - 1 pink, 1 yellow, 1 blue, and 2 green. So, I crocheted an additional square using purple and grey, made a white and sage border around each, joined them, and put a border around the whole thing. Didn't take very long!

Hi, Karen - I'm not sure what you're referring to. The photos on the blog entry where you left your message *look* crooked, but that's because I didn't layout the blanket perfectly before taking the photos.

As long as the granny squares are 'square' and the manner of joining creates a straight line (some of my recent experiments with joins haven't been!), the resulting one-piece blanket should also be 'square'.
