Description

This course is about learning how to make a simple yet beautiful infinity granny square blanket. This course will take you through the steps needed to start the blanket. Then learn the needed patterns to continue the blanket and even how to finish the blanket. You will learn the shell stitch to create a simple yet pretty border for your blanket and also learn how to weave in the tails when the blanket is finished. As an option you will be able to learn how to apply an appliqué onto your blanket if you feel like you want to add that detail to your own blanket. I will also have a video lesson that is solely based on the materials you will need and the materials that I used to create this simple and beautiful infinity granny square blanket. This course is great for crochet beginners who want to learn a few simple stitches while still creating something tangible to showcase their new skills. This blanket can do that for you and also give you a great way to practice your new crochet abilities. I hope you consider the class and I hope you enjoy making your own infinity granny square blanket. This is great to make because while it gives the timeless look of the granny square it does not require any joining methods and does not have multiple tiny squares to join together, it is all one piece.
