Ma Petite Mamie

Ma Petite Mamie (My Little Granny) is a modified granny square blanket with a bespoke border that takes this classic design to the next level. With the gorgeous Batik Elements Swirl yarn, a simply hdc granny becomes a glorious cacophony of colors. This pattern is complete with detail photos/diagrams, classic crochet charts, and the clear written pattern that you've come to expect from a Polly Plum pattern. Included is the very specific layout of squares. This semi-random layout balances the distribution of colors but also accounts for warm and cool tones so your eye never finds a boring spot. This is a blanket your friends are going to beg you to make for them! <hr> **Details** **Crochet terminology:** Both US & UK **Skill level:** Intermediate-ish **Stitches used:** chains, slip stitch, sc, hdc, dc, **Sizes:** 44.25" x 55.75" for the sample shown, but the pattern is easily customized by making more or fewer squares **Hook size:** 4.5mm **Gauge:** not important for this pattern **Additional materials:** yarn needle and scissors for weaving ends; blocking supplies (optional) **Yarn:** 1 ball each of the follow: Stylecraft Batik Elements Swirl in Ether, Water, Rain, Thunder, Fire, Time, Earth; Stylecraft Special DK in Parchment and A Hint of Silver <hr> Visit me, Polly Plum, get help or support, and stay up to date on new patterns by: [checking out my website][2], everytrickonthehook, for things like tutorials and free patterns; liking [Every Trick on the Hook on Facebook][3]; following [@pollyplum on instagram][4]; visiting [Polly’s Place on Ravelry][5]; or get lots of help and support from the Facebook group, [Polly Plum Pattern Posse][6].
