Simple squares can be combined into stunning crochet blankets. They doesn’t have to be intricate or complicated – basic ones will do! All magic takes place on several stages of the process. First, you have to decide on your color palette! “The more the merrier” scheme does not always apply 😉
Hues you will choose will have a great impact on the final look of your blanket. Secondly, joining! When you are all done with making squares and decided how to arrange them, it’s time to combine them together. Nice joining technique will produce outstanding results! And last but not least, edging. Finish off your work with beautiful detailing. Take a look at examples below and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.
