Interesting Granny Square Blanket Tutorial

Interesting Granny square blanket!

Edit 17/02/2017: I have decided to work this out with a photo tutorial in more detail to help those that want to create this beautiful granny square! I will be as detailed as possible, enjoy!

Begin with chain 4:

Close chain 4 and the chain 3 (counts as first dc {doublecrochet}):

dc 2 more times then chain 3:

dc 3 times into the loop and then chain 3:

Continue in this pattern until you have 4 groups of 3 dc’s with a chain 3 in-between, then close the round with a slip stitch:

And now we have the first round complete, this is also the way you create a regular granny square.

Next round, we can join in the color of your choosing and chain 3 (counts as first dc):

dc two more times into the same stitch as the chain 2 above, then with NO CHAINS between last dc and next dc you will create 3 dc’s into the next hole, followed by a chain 3 and 3 dc again (here we have our edge):

Continue until the round is complete as in the image below:

Start round three as shown below with a chain 3 (counts as dc) then 2 dc:

Continue to create the granny square as described above until it’s the size that you desire. Here are the following rounds:

Now for the edge, find the middle 3dc group and slip stitch into the space just before it as in the picture:

I finished on an odd number of 3dc clusters in the previous round , hence I will have to work by inserting the crochet hook into the middle of the second dc in the 3 dc group, then dc:

2dc (creating total of 3), then chain 3:

3dc into the same opening:

Slip stitch onto the next space:

Start your next round with a slip stitch as shown in the picture below:

The we are going the 3dc into the section illustrated in the image below:

I will simply post the rest of the images as they are self explanatory, if confused ask for help in the comments section and I will try to be more detailed.

The following pictures explain the next round which is worked in the same manner as the previous round.

Now, let’s finish the next three corners without finishing the final round so it look like this:

We can complete the next three corners together, begin with a slip stitch as shown in the picture below:

The 3dc as shown:

Continue until you have completed the round just slip stitch into the 3 chain edge of previous round and keep going:

Until you have this:

Now we can start a new round by chaining 2 in a corner (counts as first dc) as follows:

Complete the round:

And you just keep going in this way, add as many more rounds as you like then start the new edges as described above and so on.

I could have used more yarn colors to make it easier to see the superimposed squares. Hope you are all now able to crochet this beautiful pattern!!!

Below are the original instructions that caused some confusion, I have kept them there for reference.
