The Most Beautifully Simple Crochet Blanket I've Made - The Mixed Granny Stripe Tutorial

I'm always looking for beautifully simple crochet stitch patterns and I think this might be my favourite! Possibly the most beautifully simple blanket I've made! It's a 2 row repeat which is ideal for absolute beginners too.

I've been asked many times if the 'Mix It Up' Granny Squares can be done in rows instead and the answer is YES! Here it is! A mix of traditional and 'solid' rows. Absolutely stunning!

You can use ANY yarn and just use whatever hook size your chosen yarn recommends. For the tutorial I am using Mandala Baby and a 4.5mm hook. My example piece at the start was made using yarn from Poundland (a U.K. shop) and a 4.5mm hook.

You always deliver for me. Just the right pattern when I need one. I'm making lapghans for Native Elders and love my granny blankets but needed something a little less holey for warmth. This works! I may alternate the granny row with two rows of dc. Thanks again for a great tutorial.

A very pretty stitch. Thanks for the video ❤

Thanks again for a new granny pattern Rebecca.

Thank you so much for the pattern and tutorial for this beautiful pattern!! I love the way you start a new row, instead of chaining one or two or three! I’m going to remember that! It looks much neater doing it the way you showed! Thanks again!

You did such a great job with this! What a beautiful project! The edges are perfect! I especially love the method you use instead of chaining up at the beginning of a row! Genius! Thank you!

I enjoyed this tutorial! I like the way you do the edges.

[lakshmisrinivasan]

I love your method of doing neat edges.Thank you.

[rhondalea]

I love this! It's a simple but lovely pattern. This is my favourite type of pattern when I just need to distress & not pay too close attention. Thank you!❤

[amandah]

This stitch looks just as lovely on the straight as it does in the round Rebekah thank you for showing us how 😊Amanda xx💞

[lindawood]

I thought the v stich was my favourite, but this one is running close, thanking you 😊

[taniareguin]

Great explanations and tutorial. Love the edges. Blanket looks beautiful.

[gailcolvin]

I love using the stacked sc at the beginning of dc rows. Very helpful with this pattern's look, too!

Beautiful stitches, great teacher ! Thank you. 😊

[Needlewich]

Beautiful stitch pattern! Love it and will be using it to make a blanket for my great granddaughter! Thank you for sharing your excellent tutorial! 💕🤗

[lisakellett]

This is such a wonderful stitch combo. I have started a blanket with Red Heart super Saver in turquoise ombre. It's going to be so pretty. I like this because it has texture but not bulky and lays flat and the spaces between the granny stitches are not very large, I think because the double crochet (us) holds it together nicely and gives it just enough drape. Thank you

I can't wait to try this, I have an afghan my great grandmother made which was passed down to me, I could never figure out what the stitches are exactly -- very solid, but also attractive -- this pattern has such nice even sides and looks beautiful with the granny clusters.
I have to choose some beautiful yarn and make this blanket next 💜
