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.

NotesThrow is worked in rounds. Join each rnd as specified in instructions; do not turn.

This is interesting. After reading Morehouse17 post I too did some research. I like the way the design works out and from the pictures that the designer used different color yarns you can really see the texture.

It was necessary for me to do a little research to understand this project. I think I finally get it. It is the long double crochet stitch that provides the design. A different picture of the finished project may would have helped understand it also. This picture does not provide a good look at the finished project.

would be nice to see the pattern up close, not a 1-inch square.
