Yarn and Colors "Hip To Be Square" Blanket Crochet Kit

Yarn and Colors Hip To Be Square Blanket Crochet Kit - Crochet a modern Granny Square blanket in soft natural tones with a touch of pink or green. Designer Karin van Haasteren (@karinvanhaasteren) gave the classic Granny Square a contemporary Yarn and Colors look. The result is a serene, graphic blanket that looks beautiful on the couch, draped over the foot of your bed, or outside on a cool summer evening.

The blanket consists of no fewer than 143 Granny Squares. You’ll start by crocheting the round, colored hearts and then finish each Granny Square with the light base color Birch. Since you’re working on small squares one at a time, this is a great project to take with you, and you can let the blanket grow step by step.

Choose Your Color Scheme

Previously, the two versions were available separately. In this Crochet Kit, you can now easily choose which color combination you’d like to make:

• Green color scheme —featuring soft green shades like Eucalyptus and Cold Green, combined with calm grey and natural tones. This version has a fresh, cool look, with beautiful accents in mint, gray-green, and Dark Grey.
• Pink color scheme —featuring Rosé, Pearl, and Shark Grey, combined with warm natural and gray tones. This version has a softer, warmer look with pink, beige, and gray-blue accents.

Both versions are crocheted with Yarn and Colors Must-have. The base color is 004 Birch, and the various accent colors form the round center of each Granny Square. The pattern recommends not making an equal number of squares in each accent color, so that the colors are distributed playfully and naturally across the Blanket. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Both versions are crocheted with Yarn and Colors Must-have. The base color is 004 Birch, and the various accent colors create the characteristic round center of each Granny Square. The pattern recommends not making the same number of squares for each accent color. This creates a playful and naturally distributed color palette.

The Yarn and Colors Hip To Be Square Blanket Crochet Kit contains

• 33 Balls of Yarn and Colors Must-have in the colors of your chosen version
• Digital Crochet Pattern for the Hip To Be Square Blanket

Tools & Supplies

• 3 mm Crochet Hook
• Wool Needle or darning needle
• Scissors
• Materials for blocking the Granny Squares

Blocking for a Beautiful Result

The patterns recommend blocking all the Granny Squares before sewing them together. This gives the squares a more even shape and makes it easier later to sew them neatly together using the mattress stitch. A Granny Square blocker is handy for this, but you can also use blocking mats with blocking pins.

After blocking, first lay out the 143 squares in 13 rows of 11. This allows you to distribute the accent colors evenly across the entire Blanket before sewing everything together. Then, crochet two rounds of single crochets around the Blanket to form a border.

Difficulty Level

Easy. A delightful project if you enjoy crocheting Granny Squares or want to give them a try. Thanks to the repetitive pattern, you’ll quickly get the hang of it and can relax as you continue crocheting the next 143 squares.
