Faye’s Infinity Granny Square Crochet Blanket
Hello and Welcome!
I 100% had my mom in mind when I made this blanket. Years ago I made her a blanket with these colors and like most pretty things that are gifted with the intent to be used, she’s kept it safely draped across her quilt rack. For 17 years…
So here we are. I typically don’t use variegated yarns, but I think Red Heart Super Saver purple tones and green tones are the bomb so I was stoked to use them!
Enjoy!
A darling mix of variegated and solid colors that remind of us of spring flowers!
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** We always start our granny’s with a magic ring, but you can start yours however works for you. Also! We DON’T ch. 1 along our sides and we only ch. 2 in the corners.

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 HERE. 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 felt the color work was more than enough so I skipped the border on this one!
