Granny Square Winter Blanket Crochet Pattern

September 6, 2021 by Maria Weaber 1 Comment

The crochet winter themed blanket will be crocheted together in a crochet along! Find all the information down below.

  • Purchase the complete ad-free PDF download/printable on Etsy or Ravelry.
  • PIN it to your boards for later.
  • Follow along below for free on my blog below.

The Winter Blanket CAL will start September 19th and run for a total of 9 weeks. This allows you to crochet this heirloom blanket in reasonable chunks without getting overwhelmed.

Each week, you will be crocheting granny squares and appliques. Each part will include both written pattern and video tutorials. You will also have the option to purchase the entire written pattern as a condensed download once the crochet along begins on September 19th.

    Maria, I have come to the border, but there is an asterisk missing from the repeat from* across, join to first stitch.. Also from what starting point to start the bobble, like in the center of the 5sc on previous round.

    so far I love this winter CAL
