Collection of mixed crochet stitches in a continuous granny square blanket
This pattern features a mix of simple to moderately challenging stitches, making it an easy and enjoyable project to work on. It works up surprisingly fast, thanks to the clever design of four rows per round, so the blanket grows quickly into a cozy, snuggle-worthy size.
What really sets this project apart is the variety of stitches.
Instead of repeating the same one endlessly (which, let’s be honest, can get a bit dull), each row brings something new. While there's definitely a time and place for single-stitch projects, this isn't one of them. With every row, you'll find yourself more drawn in, discovering the beauty and rhythm of different crochet techniques that make this mixed stitch blanket truly special.
You don't necessarily have to use scrap yarn, if you are looking for fun textured granny squared, work in the round crochet blanket pattern this can be your next to go to project. Coloured Yarn cakes work well when working in the round .
