Step-By-Step Pattern
Make the Squares
- Foundation:
- Chain (ch) 6. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to form a ring.
- Round 1:
- Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc), work 2 double crochet (dc) into ring.
- Ch 2, 3 dc into ring, repeat from * to * three more times (four corners).
- Ch 2, join with sl st to top of beginning ch-3.
- Round 2:
- Sl st over to corner space.
- Ch 3, 2 dc in corner, ch 2, 3 dc in same corner space.
- Ch 1, move to next corner, (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in corner space, repeat around.
- Finish with ch 1, join with sl st to top of beginning ch-3.

- Round 3:
- Sl st over to corner space.
- Ch 3, 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in corner.
- Ch 1, 3 dc in side space, ch 1, (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in next corner, repeat around.
- Continue pattern, join with sl st. Cut yarn, fasten off, and weave in ends.

Each finished square should be about 19cm.
Join the Squares
- Layout:
- Arrange four squares (or desired number) in a square or rectangle.
- Joining Round:
- Use a single color for neatness.
- With right sides facing up, join yarn in any corner.
- Work a joining round for each square as follows:
- In corner: (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc).
- For “joining” edge: Use single crochet (sc) and chain stitches to connect adjacent squares as you work the joining round. Insert hook into ch-sp of both motifs and sc together, then ch 1.
- Refer to video/timecode for step-by-step single crochet joins at corners and sides.

- Continue:
- Join additional squares row by row using this joining method.
Border
- At the blanket’s edges, add a border:
- Join any color in a corner.
- In each corner: (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc).
- Along edges: (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in spaces, sc in between.
- When changing color, close last stitch with new yarn for clean transitions.
- Weave in all ends securely, hiding them at the back.

Finishing Touches
- Use a tapestry needle to hide all yarn ends securely.
- For extra hold, a dab of hot glue or fabric glue on the back after weaving in can prevent unraveling.
Conclusion
You turn leftover yarn into a practical and beautiful accent perfect for your home. This easy blanket adds style to sofas, armchairs, or even beds.
