Giant Granny Square Blanket

Yarn: Worsted Weight

Hook: I (5.50mm) 

Individual Squares: 12in x 12in

This blanket was my first attempt at a granny square blanket. (Well, first completed attempt.)

I used a magic circle to start all of my granny squares. Using a traditional granny stitch, make a square with 9 rounds (or however many is required to make a 12in x 12in square). You will need 5 squares in each color for this size blanket. 

I joined the squares using a granny stitch (You can find a great tutorial on how to do it here) and then did a large border around the whole thing. The border came from a book by Jean Leinhauser that can be found on Ravelry.
