Hello and Welcome!
Ruby here. I was super pleased making this blanket. Everything about it made me happy. I love the colors and I really loved working with Stylecraft Special Chunky yarn.
It’s so soft and even though it’s a chunky weight yarn, it works up beautifully with a 5.5mm hook. For a granny blanket it has a little extra squish to it. Who doesn’t like squish?
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 starts with a starting chain of 14.

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 row counts for all 3 sizes are super easy, but I had some fun choosing which rows I doubled up on. So each blanket will have slightly different row counts per color. The graphic above is a digital mock up of the finished blanket.
- Dark Brown – 3
- *Copper – 1
- Spice – 1
- Cream – 1
- Meadow– 1
- **Dark brown – 2
Repeat from * to ** 2X
Want an easy way to keep track of each row? We sure do, so we include row trackers in our PDF’s! 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 space between clusters. 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
As usual I skipped the border, but feel free to add one if you want! Just be sure that you have enough yarn on hand for it.
