6 Granny Square Crochet Lovey Blanket Patterns

"These granny square crochet lovey blanket patterns grew out of making small samples of baby blankets. Basic yarn colors were used in light and dark grey, blue, and pink. If you are a beginner at crochet, these little gems are a perfect way to get started and practice your crochet skills while making something that a child will enjoy. A perfect way to use up yarn scraps. I made a lot of granny squares in the colors used for these lovies a few winters ago. It has been a labor of love turning the squares into something else. I made six baby blankets; three in shades of blues and grey and three in shades of pink and grey. There are twenty squares used in each blanket. However, each one has a different crochet border."
