End of the month again, I’m up to date with my blanket! And whipped up a new square to make in
June. It’s a flowery one again and a bit more open. Made again with Stylecraft acrylic yarn and
hook size 4.5mm

But for the pattern I will be doing it a bit different. This square would be lovely with multiple colors,
therefore I will be making the pictures of this pattern with vibrant colors from Phildar Phil No4 and
hook size 3.5mm. Just to show you how pretty it can be with multiple colors.
I will join each row with an invisible join and weave in the ends.

1. Choose colors that blend well together

Granny squares shine when you pick colors that complement each other. Try using light, medium, and dark shades for beautiful contrast.
