Knitting a crochet blanket with squares for beginnersCrocheting is a very exciting activity. This handicraft provides us with an endless number of pattern options with which you can create masterpieces. Creating something new with your own hands is much more enjoyable than just buying it in a store. In this master class, we suggest you crochet a blanket using separately knitted squares or, as they are also called, motifs, which, when combined together, will create a bright blanket. These squares are called granny or Afghan. They originated a long time ago, presumably by peasants who used squares to knit blankets, pillowcases, carpets, capes, etc. Nowadays, this type of knitting is very popular, both among beginners and designers. Granny squares are easy to knit and are considered the easiest motifs. Even a novice needlewoman can handle them!Let's start crocheting a blanket from squares.For the blanket, we choose thick threads, which include synthetic and wool fibers. A warm and durable blanket will come out of such yarn. Step 1. Let's start crocheting a blanket from squares with a braid of 4 air loops, which we close into a ring.Step 2.We create 3 lifting loops, knit two loops with one yarn over into the ring in the center, then one air loop, 3 loops with one yarn over into the center of the ring and an air loop. Thus, we knit twice.Step 3. We get the circle shown in the photo.Next, you can change the color of the yarn. To do this, you need to secure the thread and cut it, leaving a small tail. But if you knit with one color, then knit two half loops so that the next row begins with a skip.Step 4.We begin the next row by knitting three air loops for lifting. Next, in the air loop of the first row, we knit two loops with one yarn over, then one air loop, again 3 loops with one yarn over in the place of the gap, again one air loop. Now we knit 3 loops with one yarn over in the air loop of the first row, we knit another air loop, again 3 loops with one yarn over in the place of the gap and one air loop. We repeat in each gap until the end of the row.Step 5. The fragment already looks like a square and looks like in the photo. Then we move on to another color again, just like in the first row. If we knit with one color, then we knit 2 half loops.Step 6.We start the third row, like the second row, by knitting three air loops and two loops with one yarn over. Step 7. We knit the corners of the square in each gap with 6 loops with one yarn over, which we separate with one air loop. In the other gaps we knit 3 loops with one yarn over. Step 8. The photo makes it easy to see the knitting sequence.Step 9. Our three-row square is ready!As you may have noticed, the operating principle is verysimple. By connecting such squares together, you will get a beautiful blanket created with your own hands. Everything depends on your courage and imagination! Good luck to you in your endeavors!
