Cross blanket

Granny squares are my favorite crochet project! I can almost crochet them with my eyes closed.. You basically have a little finished project every time you finish another square. That’s so satisfying! You can really see the blanket grow little by little when you join the squares with the ‘join-as-you-go’ method. For this blanket I used the classic granny square, as we all know it. If you work the first round with a contrasting color, it will look like a little cross sign. Hence the name ‘cross blanket’!
