The 'Tweed Quartet' Blanket - easy Granny Square crochet

 Well hello,

It's been a little while since my last post and that is because it has taken me AGES to complete a blanket I have been working on... it ended up being quite a large blanket, double bed size and 289 Granny Squares in total!!


I really enjoy designing blankets, I quite enjoying doing the video tutorials.... but when it comes down to editing the videos I find it a bit of a chore!  I can't seem to sit still long enough to do them... and I have to concentrate to remove all the bits where I have told the dog off for making a noise, or my tummy has rumbled... that kind of thing.

Anyway... this current blanket is now done and I am rather chuffed to be able to move onto something else if I am honest.


The video for this design is on my Youtube for you all to have a go at and enjoy, the material list that I have used is below... however I do go into more detail about alternatives in my video which I will link below.

Materials used:  Stylecraft Special DK yarn in...

1 each of  Viola, Proper Purple, Carnation, Fuchsia Purple, Greengage, Apple, Atlantis and Petrol

1 each of Black and Charcoal

4.50mm Crochet Hook - my favourite is Clover Amour


You can find the video here...


I really hope you enjoy it if you fancy having a go, and for those waiting for the tutorial to finally appear, thanks for your patience  :)



Oh, and just for transparency, if you buy anything from Amazon using the links I provided I get a small commission. just pennies if I remember rightly, but it doesn't cost you a bean  :)
