Crochet granny square blanket

I’ve finally completed my granny square blanket. I have been planning on making this since I started crocheting and have managed to do it after 4 long years. Unsure that I would follow through, I was always reluctant to start this project; but somehow mustered courage and took the leap.

I started this blanket in August and have been working on it off and on. Overall it took me around 4 months to complete this project.

This is my first ever(might as well be the last) multi colored granny square blanket. I can easily say the hardest part was choosing colors at random for each row. It is a lot easier if the colors are finalized in the beginning.

My sister had gifted me a Michael’s gift card for my birthday last year and most of the yarn for this project came from that. So a big thank you to her!! 🙂

Before starting each row I would finalize all the colors for that row. and put them in the stitch holder in the right order. This saved a lot of time.
