Across the Expanding Granny-verse

This crochet blanket pattern with it’s simple design of double crochet and granny stitch is easy and relaxing to make, while still being a unique project that’s both a little bit classic and a little bit modern. The stitches are just repetitive enough to be soothing and meditative, but have a touch of variation to keep you present and in the moment. I like to call it “mindful crochet.” Change the mood of your project simply by changing the yarn or colors. This timeless pattern will suit just about anyone.
