DIFFERENT COLORS OF YARN
CH 3 [COUNTS AS FIRST DC] WORK TWO MORE DC THEN CH 2.* 3 DC CH2,* WORK TWO MORE TIMES FOR A TOTAL OF 4 GROUPS OF DC. SL ST TO TOP OF CH 3. SL ST IN NEXT 2 DC.SL ST IN CH 1 SP.

CONTINUE WORKING IN ROUNDS UNTIL YOU GET THE BLANKET AS BIG AS YOU WANT IT. CHANGE COLOR WHENEVER YOU WANT.
EDGING:
SL ST TO CORNER CH 1 SP. CH 1, SC, 3 DC, SC IN SAME SP.* SKIP TO NEXT SP. SC,3 DC,SC IN SAME SP.* AROUND. SL ST TO FIRST SC TO JOIN. FASTEN OFF.
I USED SCRAP YARN ON MINE. SOMETIMES I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH YARN TO GO ALL THE WAY AROUND THE BLANKET. IT DON'T MATTER. THAT THE BEAUTY OF GRANNY SQUARES. ANYTHING GOES.
I DON'T TURN THE BLANKET WHEN I FINISH A ROUND. I THINK IT LOOKS BETTER THIS WAY. I ALSO THINK IT LOOKS BETTER TO SL ST TO THE CH 1 SP IN THE CORNER BEFORE I START ANOTHER ROUND. I DON'T CH 1 IN BETWEEN THE GROUPS OF DC EITHER. I THINK IT LOOKS BETTER FOR A BABY BLANKET TO HAVE SMALLER HOLES.
HAVE FUN
