Traditional Granny Blanket

Lion Brand® Microspun

GAUGE:

Each square approx 3 in x 3 in [7.5cm x 7.5cm] using size E/4 (3.50mm) crochet hook. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Traditional Granny Blanket Reviewed by Denise Brooks on 2009-08-13 *****
I wanted to make this blanket but I didn't have the correct colors so I used what I had & I think it turned out great! I loved making this blanket & the you can use almost any colors & it will turn out wonderful! And I can't wait to make this blanket with the correct colors! Thank you, Lion Brand!
