Pumpkin Granny Square Crochet Blanket Pattern

Pumpkin Granny Square Crochet Blanket PatternPumpkin Granny Square Crochet Blanket Pattern

In this Pumpkin Granny Square Crochet Blanket Pattern, there are 4 different squares. 

The pattern only consists of 2 different squares. Further, the colors in both squares are combined differently to look different.  The result is that 1 design creates 2 different-looking squares.    

I called it the Pumpkin Granny square because I made it in October using the orange yarn, which reminds me of the pumpkin.

Yarn:  2 skeins of 7 oz Red heart Super Saver Pumpkin (Col P) and 1 skein 7 oz Buff (Col B)

Hook:  3.5 MM

Skill level:  Beginner

Each block measures 5 ½ inches

Finished blanket measurement 31 1/4 x 57 ¾ inches

I assembled 5 blocks for the width and 10 blocks for the length for a total of 50 blocks.  The blanket border is 11 rows of single crochet around, with each corner having 2 sc ch2 2sc.  Make sure to crochet in the hidden stitch immediately after the corner.

Stitches used in this Granny Square Crochet Blanket Pattern:
