My Frist Granny Square

[littleKnit]

Okay so this is my first granny square. its the Never Ending Square. i was just practicing, because i wanted to make my cousin's daughter a nice granny square blanket. I know it's not a perfect "Square" but it is my first one. And no i won't be using this color for the blanket;).

 

Oh and also, what size do you think i should make the baby blanket. she will be 1 years old and she is already 30 inches tall! Also what colors would you suggest? i was thinking a light pink with white alternating squares. thanks!

I think you did an awsome job on your first granny and you can't go wrong with pink for a little girl. LOL

Wonderful! How big are you making the squares? I think the size will depend on if you're just making a blankie or if you want the blanket to be crib sized.

[littleKnit]

I want to make a blankie. The square here is 5 inches by 5. as i said she is 30 inches tall. i'm not sure how big her crib is either. i was thinking 40 inches by 45??

Good job on the square, and I'm sure the blankie will turn out wonderful. I haven't had a square yet that looks 'perfect' when I'm done. If its REALLY bad, I have to pull and tug and stretch it into shape sometimes

I use the never ending granny square too and I have a suggestion for you now that you have the pattern down. Crochet each round from the back, it will give every other row a valley, which will help the square look the same on the back as on the front. If you change colors every row (weave in those ends) your square will have a lot of definition and you can see the colors very well instead of them all running together. Your blanket will look just fabulous!! Great job on your first square!!

That looks pretty darn good for the first ever granny square. Any shade of pastel colors would look good for a 1 year old. I personally like yellows and greens for little girls (I'm not too into pink, but that would look great too, if that's what you're into).
