A bulky yarn and a simple repeatable pattern can also be a recipe for a unique blanket, especially when there is a twist implemented. A farmhouse granny square with diagonal lines of puff stitches creates a diamond pattern when combined. The squares can be made in any size you want, so the size of the whole blanket is easy to adjust. This is one of those patterns which looks good both in monochrome and in color. Moreover, you can make it in any color you want or combine colors in a smart way to get desire effect. There are lots of possibilities for personification and to get a blanket that exactly fits your needs. What is more, you can use this pattern to make not only blankets, but also pillows, wall hangers, bags, etc. So, let’s see how your future project can look like.
The first farmhouse granny square has a slightly gentler texture and a crisper edge. Overall, it’s perfect for a baby blanket or a decorative throw.
