How to Make the Granny Spike Stitch Blanket
The Granny Spike Stitch Blanket is a beautiful and unique crochet blanket that is perfect for any home. This blanket is made with a colorful rainbow of yarns, and the finished product is sure to brighten up any room. The best part about this blanket is that it’s easy to make, even for beginners. Here’s how:
Instructions:
1. Begin by making a slip knot and attaching it to your crochet hook. Then, chain 24 stitches.
2. Next, you will work in single crochet stitch for the first 2 rows. In the 3rd row, insert your hook into the 4th chain from the hook and draw up a loop (3 loops on hook), then yarn over and draw through all loops on hook (this creates a spike).
Continue working spikes in this manner across the row, inserting your hook into the 4th chain from the last spike made. Repeat these steps until you have reached the end of the row. Finish off this row by working 1 single crochet stitch in each of the last 2 chains (24 stitches total).
3. Now you will begin working in double crochet stitch for the remaining rows of the blanket. To do this, simply yarn over and insert your hook into the next stitch, then draw up a loop (3 loops on hook), yarn over and draw through 2 loops on hook (2 loops left on hook), yarn over and draw through 2 remaining loops on hook (1 loop left on hook). Repeat these steps across the row.
4. When you reach the end of the row, finish off by working 1 single crochet stitch in each of the last 2 chains (24 stitches total).
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until your blanket reaches the desired size. To change colors, simply fasten off the current color and join in a new color with a slip stitch. Work 1 row of double crochet stitch with the new color, then continue following steps 3 and 4.
6. When your blanket is finished, fasten off the final color and weave in all loose ends using a tapestry needle.
Variations of the Granny Spike Stitch Blanket
There are many ways to customize the granny spike stitch blanket. Some variations include using different colors, adding a border, or changing the size of the blanket.
One way to change up the look of the blanket is to use different colors. This can be done by using multiple colors in the same row or by alternating rows of different colors. This is a great way to add some extra interest to the blanket.
Another option is to add a border to the blanket. This can be done by crocheting a simple border around the edge of the blanket or by adding a decorative edging. This is a great way to personalize the blanket and make it your own.
Finally, you can change the size of the blanket by increasing or decreasing the number of stitches used. This is a great way to make the blanket more personalised and unique.
