Classic Christmas Infinity Granny Square Crochet Blanket

Hello and Welcome!

 It’s super fun to see all the different ways and styles folks can decorate this time of the year, but I am classic girl at heart. All of my Christmas decor are in these colors and as soon as I have everything out and in it’s place, that’s when it feels like I’m ready for the season.

This blanket was inspired by a tree skirt I saw a few years back and it’s a classic blanket done in the classic Red Heart Super Saver!

We’ve paired traditional colors in this crochet blanket. Perfect for a classic Christmas!

What is the Infinity Granny Stitch?

The Infinity Granny Square takes the same concept of a traditional granny square and just keeps going! It consists of a cluster of three double crochets (dc, dc, dc in the same space).  

**NOTE** Instead of starting with a ring, this granny start with a starting chain of 14.

Abbreviations

YO – Yarn Over

REP – Repeat

RND – Round

CH – Chain

SK – Skip

DC – Double Crochet

**All stitches and abbreviations are in U.S. Terms.

Gauge: 9 rounds = 4” (10cm)

Crochet hook size I (5.5 mm) or size needed for gauge.

Double Crochet (DC) – YO, insert your hook, YO pull up a loop, YO and pull through 2 loops, YO and pull through remaining two loops.

Double Crochet CLUSTER (DC CL) – Three (3) DC in the same space.

The Tutorial

If you’re not familiar with the Infinity Granny Stitch or you need a refresher we recommend THIS video.

In today’s post I will share everything you need to make the lovey, but if you’re interested in making this bigger you can get the downloadable pdf HERE.

Row Counts

The graphic above is a digital mock up of the finished blanket. 

REPEAT FROM  * TO **  1x

Want an easy way to keep track of each row? We sure do, so we include row trackers in our PDF’s! You can download that.  I don’t know about you, but if I don’t have something to physically check off, I spend more time counting and recounting instead of crocheting! 

TIPS

We have a few tips to help ya out!  You can always do what works the best for you, but these are what we find to be tried and true for us!

  • Try to weave in those ends as you go. Learn will be a lot!
  • Turn! Turning is the easiest way to keep you blanket from getting wonky.
  • After finishing one color, turn it towards you so the back side is now facing you, then rotate it counter clockwise. Start with a new color in any Ch 1 sp. Again, this is awesome sauce for keeping your sides straight!
  • Not every blanket needs a border! Don’t be afraid to skip it. If you edges are straight and consistent, there’s really no need!

BORDER

I finished this one off with a single round of Medium Thyme, but two rounds would be good too!

      Hello! They actually are clusters. I did a round of single crochet granny clusters with no chains in between them. I will say, if it looks like the edges are starting to buckle add a chain 1 between each cluster. 💗💗💗
