Crochet

Geometric Squares 3

I made this afghan using traditional granny squares  of various sizes using the join-as-you-go method.

This afghan was made using Lion Brand Color Waves yarn: 6 skeins of Lava (B), and 8 of Carribbean (A).  I also used a J crochet hook and yarn needle.

Rnd 1. Like a traditional granny square in Color A.  Further rounds as needed, alternating colours with each Round.

Rnd 2: Join with slip stitch in any dc. *Dc in each dc across to corner, (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in corner.  Repeat from * around.  Dc to initial chain if needed.  Join with slip stitch.  Change colour.

Rnd 3-12 as needed: Repeat Rnd 2, changing colour after each round.

You need squares of of 1-Round size through 12-Round size according the following quantities:

1 Round: 13
2 Rounds: 2
3 Rounds: 8
4 Rounds: 5
5 Rounds: 4
6 Rounds: 4
7 Rounds: 2
8 Rounds: 2
9 Rounds: 2
10 Rounds: 1
11 Rounds: 1
12 Rounds: 1

Assemble with a whip stitch from the back side, according to the diagram below.  I found it useful to line up corners where edges met, building smaller chunks that could be filled in, and then lined up with other larger pieces.

Border: Each round of the border is done in sc in each stitch across, with 3 sc in each corner.  Rnd 1 in Colour B.  Rnd 2 in Color A.  Round 3 in Color B.  Fasten off.

This afghan is part of a series of afghans I made using squares of differing sizes.  Each one was made with squares of different types: random solid colours, different colour rounds, alternating colour rounds, same size/same colour, etc.  Feel free to mix and match.  Check out the whole series:
