What happens when you take a traditional granny stripe pattern and switch up the colors? Like one of those magic eye posters from the 90s, I squinted a bit, and saw triangles where there were stripes. The end result is this Love Triangles Granny Stripe Baby Blanket that was gifted recently to a friend and her soon to be baby boy.
The blanket starts off with a row of foundation double crochet stitches. You can use that, or you can start with a row of chain stitches and work double crochet stitches into the chain. Once you finish, you end the blanket with another row of double crochet stitches. I chose not to add any other edging to the blanket, mostly because I liked the semi-raw look of the triangles going right to the edge. Or course, you can add your own border as you see fit.
On the first granny row, work granny stitches (3 dc clusters) into every 3rd stitch. The one thing here to note is that while you skip stitches, you do not work any chains in between the 3 dc clusters. I wanted to minimize the size of the holes left in the granny stripe, so I went from one dc cluster to right into the next. For all subsequent rows, work dc clusters back to back, each into the space created from the clusters in the previous row.

you switch yarn when you pull through the last two loops of the double crochet, on the third double crochet of the cluster. drop your current yarn after doing the first two loops then pick up the next color.
Based on the inspiration photo, I knew getting the colors right was going to be the most important part of this project. I shopped around to a few different yarn brands that offer a large selection of colors, and landed on StyleCraft DK.
Half of the fun in designing a project like this is choosing the granny square motif that you plan to use in your blanket. Traditional granny squares are always fun. But there are lots of other unique patterns currently available, or you could even come up with your own.
I stumbled upon the Triple Puff Granny Square by Emmy + LIEN during a Pinterest search and immediately fell in love. The puff stitches at the center of the square mimic the inspiration photo, and the use of the granny stitch on the outside of the square meant that I could easily adjust the size.
Once my yarn arrived, I was able to make my first practice square. I decided to make my square with four rounds in the pattern and a 5th round for the border. I knew I was going to use the join as you go technique for granny squares, so I added just a traditional granny square border to my squares. Thankfully I was able to make a 5-inch square, which is exactly what I was hoping to achieve.
At long last, it was finally time to crochet! To make things a little easier on myself, I decided to batch my squares. I grabbed all of the colors I needed for a particular palette and made each of those squares before moving on to the next palette. My Type A brain loved the orderliness of having a small stack of granny squares that all looked the same. I also weaved in my ends before starting the next batch of squares.
Once an entire stack of granny squares was complete, I decided to block them. I pinned each square individually to my blocking boards, and then use my handheld garment steamer to steam them into shape. This extra step makes sure that each of my squares is picture-perfect and the right size.
I hope the Autumn Granny Square Blanket inspires you to take on your own unique granny square afghan. Remember to go at your own pace, take some risks, and the more colors the merrier!

I literally picked up a hook for the first time two days ago. This is my goal. But I have a long way to go lol. Right now just practicing making a chain and basic crochet. Figuring out how to hole the hook and yarn is the most challenging for me!
I so love the way you leave no guessing as to how to do any of your projects. I so love the way you love to teach us new tricks. Waiting on my thumb to heal so I can get back at my projects. Thank you Tony for your love for crochet.
This crochet little lamb granny square pattern is the most adorable motif. It is wonderful for baby makes and can be used for nursery blankets, cushions or even a toddler busy book. The popcorn stitches create a lovely texture which is great for little hands. If you are new to making baby things, then have a look at these tips that I have put together for you, to help you make the most out of your project. I used Paintbox Cotton DK for this square, but you can use any yarn you like.
5-dc-popcorn stitch: work 5 dc into the same stitch. Remove your hook from the last dc and insert it, from front to back, into the top of the first dc of the popcorn stitch. Insert the hook into the loop from the last dc and pull it through to make the popcorn stitch puff, ch 1
3-dc-popcorn stitch: work 3 dc into the same stitch. Remove your hook from the last dc and insert it, from front to back, into the top of the first dc of the popcorn stitch. Insert the hook into the loop from the last dc and pull it through to make the popcorn stitch puff, ch 1

Hello, I love the sheep, however mine is ending up very round and pronounced, not as flat and layered looking as yours, would you suggest extra chains between bobbles to loosen the tight shape? Or any other thoughts? Thank you, Nicole
Hello! Yes, there are two options. Either the Solid Granny Square or the Polka Dot Square (either worked all in one color, or with 2 colors, as per the pattern pictures). Hope that this helps! Happy stitching.
Hi! I made the adorable sheep squares but the solid granny square pattern you linked does not fit with them. How do you get a solid granny square that works up to 25 st per side like the sheep square? Thank you!
Could you explain what I should be looking for at the back of the popcorn stitch when slip stitching into the back of the first popcorn stitch to close the rounds? I do not know where to push my needle through
The patten is quite forgiving, so you can slip stitch into the top, towards the back of the popcorn. I usually slst into the ch that cinches the popcorn together. Just make sure you go into the same spot each time to have a nice even finish!
Hi, thank you for this pattern. In Row 4, when making the popcorn stitches, does the 2 space gap include the space already mentioned in the popcorn instructions, or is it in addition to it, I.e. making a 3 space gap in total?
Apologies if this is a silly question!
Hello
I am from USA and want to knit the animal granny squares, on your pattern the yarn you use is Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK is there any other brand from USA substitute that you have the color chart for it to use?
Hope to have a soon answer
Regards
How lovely to make a blanket! I would suggest first making a brief sketch of the layout of the squares you would like to make. For example, are you going to do sheep squares directly next to each other, or with plain squares in between? What sized blanket would you like to make? Each sheep square is approximately 13 cm x 13 cm and a standard crib blanket is approximately 100 cm x 150 cm. Once you know how many squares you need, you can calculate how many skeins of yarn you will need to complete all those squares. You can definitely get more than one sheep square out of a skein. Hope that helps!
So glad you like the pattern! The easiest way to increase the overall size of the square would be to use a thicker yarn and a larger hook. You can even hold two strands of yarn together to make it extra bulky. It does depend on how much bigger you would like to make the sheep part of the motif. Unfortunately if you want one really big sheep then that involves a fair bit of redesign.
I am slowly working through your patterns in the 3D granny square book as I am making a blanket for my grandchild due in October but I am not at all sure that I have done the sheep square correctly. All my popcorn rows stand up in the air as they seem to be too tight to lie flat so the finished square is very raised and if you turn it over, there is a big space under the head. Is this correct or not?
