HOW MANY OF EACH COLOR TO MAKE THE BLANKET?
Hi Amy this is a very difficult question to answer as it really depends on what yarn you are using, the size of your crochet hook and your tension 🙂
I was unable to find where the link is for attaching the ‘Mitered Granny Squares’. Would you please share this link with me. Your tutorials are very easy to follow. Thank you for sharing your patterns with all of us.
Hi Rebecca You are very welcome, here is the link:- https://youtu.be/7e7SIx9olqE 🙂
I still can’t find the video on how to attach these squares. The link above is for making the squares. Thanks for your help.
Hi Carrie So sorry for the late reply, I have several video on how to join granny squares, if you search on youtube bella coco how to join granny squares you will get a list of my tutorials which you can then have a look through to see which one will suit you best 🙂
Can you use a cake yarn for this granny square pattern.
Yes absolutely; you will be able to create some really good effects by using a gradient cake for example
Is it possible to continue the pattern and make it into a continuous granny square? Or does it have to be small squares that need to be joined together? Thank you
Hi Mona Yes, you can continue adding to the same square until you reach the size you want
