Every so often, a crochet project becomes more than just yarn and stitches – it turns into a memory stitched with love. The Grannys on the Block Blanket is exactly that for me.

I actually designed and made this blanket ages ago, but it found its true purpose in July when I gifted it to my nephew for his birthday. 🎁 Watching him unwrap it and instantly snuggle in was such a heart-warming moment – proof that handmade gifts really do carry a little extra magic. 🖤

The blanket itself is a modern twist on the classic granny square. The twist is that it is row by row and not done in the round! Built in bold blocks of colour, it has that timeless crochet charm but with a clean, geometric feel that looks striking in any home. Using Winter Glow solids from Hobbii, the shades work together beautifully, creating a blanket that’s soft, cosy, and full of texture. 🤍🩶

✨ Why you’ll love making this blanket:

• A fresh, modern take on the granny square
• Relaxing and easy block-by-block construction
• Perfect as a cosy home accessory or a thoughtful gift
• Gorgeous Winter Glow solids yarn from Hobbii for stunning colour and drape

🧶 Where to find the pattern:
You can download the Grannys on the Block Blanket pattern on Etsy, Ravelry, Lovecrafts, and directly on Hobbii.

This blanket will always hold a special place in my heart – not just for the design, but for the smile it brought to my nephew’s face. 🖤🤍🩶 And now, I hope it can bring just as much joy to your hook and to whoever you choose to gift it to 🫶
