Friends Blanket

My Friends Blanket is inspired by the granny square blanket from the tv show, Friends. They have a crocheted granny square blanket on the couch in Monica and Rachel’s apartment! Since I always watch Friends while I am crocheting, I decided to recreate the blanket. It is a variation of the typical granny square blanket to ensure that the squares have the X's on them, so it looks like the blanket on the show. The granny squares are all made individually, and they are joined with the cream yarn. The join as you go method is used to join the squares. The blanket is bordered with a scalloped edge. I made mine with Blue Sky Fibers Worsted Cotton Yarn, but any worsted weight yarn would work. You will need two skeins of each color of the squares (raspberry, dark purple, yellow, and orange), and six skeins of the cream. With regards to gauge and size, each granny square should be about 5.5 by 5.5 inches. The finished blanket is six by nine granny squares, but you could adjust the size by adding more rows. I hope you enjoy the pattern!
