Layout

Crochet a total of 36 squares; 12 of each color. Lay them in whatever manner you like. For the below blanket, I went with diagonal colors.

• Joining the Squares

To assemble the squares, sc across the rows and columns. A detailed explanation is shown in the YouTube Tutorial.

• Border

Attach your yarn to the top corner.

Round 1: ch1, *sc* all around while doing [3sc] in the corner stitches, sl st to close the round.

Round 2: ch1, *sc* all around while doing [3sc] in the corner stitches, sl st to close the round.

Round 3: ch1, *sc, skip a st, [5dc], skip a st* all around.

Cut the yarn and finish off.

Aaaaand you’re done.
