Interlocked Granny Throw Blanket
This classy Interlocked Granny Throw Afghan uses interlocking yarn instead of a pattern to make an interesting design. It is a classy throw for any occasion and any season. The chunky weight yarn makes it cozy in the winter time. You must be comfortable with forming the long double crochet stitch, but it's an easy crochet pattern. All you need is Almond colored bulky yarn, an N hook, and a yarn needle to complete this lovely crochet blanket. The subtle contrast between the stitching and yarn color might be just what your home needs.
