About the granny stitch

The repetitive yet interesting stitch creates a visually appealing blanket that adds a touch of charm to any home decor. The granny stitch is popular because it offers endless possibilities for color combinations and customization. Whether you prefer a modern or vintage look, the Granny Stitch can be adapted to suit your style.

This crochet granny stitch blanket is not your standard design. The granny stitch in this specific crochet pattern is used as a featured accent. Because of this I think it stands out really well especially with the right color combination.

The granny stitch in this blanket pattern is accented with a color striping yarn. This adds a very nice dimension to the blanket rather than just using 1 color throughout.

This crochet blanket would be considered an Easy pattern rather than a beginner. The granny stripe rows may be just slightly difficult for a beginner but the body of the afghan is very easy for a beginner.
