Squares

I thought I'd make my next blanket a squares one. I vaguely visualised a flower motif in different colours to use up the yarn left over from the last blanket, but when I saw this modernised granny square, it called to me. The original pattern by Hiromi is for a bag, but there's no reason the squares can't be joined to make a blanket. I like that the main colour will be natural (undyed) and that I can use the different left overs for the 'background' round. And I like that it's a updated version of a traditional pattern.

  1. Also very effective with the flowers being 3-D. This will be a lovely blanket too, you are on a roll, aren't you?

  5. I like this pattern, the flowers look 3D, do the petals stand up?

    1. Yes, they do. I think that's what makes it more modern than the normal granny square.
