I have been very busy behind the scenes these last couple of weeks but as promised here is my lovely stash of yarn.
As you can see I have already been using some of it, I got busy with the blues first………………….
………………and made this lovely stack of squares for the outer edge of a baby blanket in cool minty blues and greens.
I wanted to mix things up a bit and as I love granny squares so much.
Then these little beauties for the centrepiece.
Here is how I joined them all together.
Now to get on with a matching one in Pinks!

Hi,
This is such a gorgeous blanket. Can I please have the pattern for the centrepiece? Also, which weight yarn did you use? How much yarn did you need (how many g?). I hope I can make something similar 🙂

I am so happy to hear that you are going to make a blanket too. I wish now that I had written out the pattern but sadly I did’t. I will email you the pattern for the centre squares and will happily answer any queries you have. I used Stylecraft Special DK, this is a a really nice soft yarn that I use for lots of projects. From memory I didn’t use a full ball of any of the colours so one of each of your chosen colours should be fine. I hope this information helps.

Lovely- how did you join the squares?

I crocheted them together by putting the right sides together and slip stitching through the outer loop of the V shape at the top of each square. I like doing it this way as each square has a defining line around it on the right side. Hope you understand what I mean. Maybe I could do a tutorial if it would help. Do you make blankets too?
