Modern Granny Blanket Free Crochet Pattern
This is a modern take on the granny afghan, which uses interwoven blocks instead of squares, enabling the crocheter to make a much more cohesive, fine-grained blanket without the swathes of large squares a traditional granny square afghan would have. Also, the size is adjustable, and this project can be adapted into a baby blanket. It’s a great, alternative way to crochet granny afghans, blankets or throws. A link to the free pattern is at the end of the post.

This project is a modernized take on a granny baby blanket, that still maintains the appeal inherent to a granny blanket, but presents it in a modern, bright vibe.

Lunar Crossing Rectangle Blanket
This blanket is a somewhat difficult but still feasible pattern. It has a lovely, dense and defining center. Moreover, the varied bands of stitching have a series of voids defining their texture. However, the use of subtle color changes is what really breathes life into the final project. Although not the easiest pattern, it’s still eminently doable. Therefore, this will be a wonderful accent for your home or much cherished heirloom.
