The Dirty Granny Baby Blanket Pattern is a classic crochet project that combines the elegance of the traditional granny square with a modern twist. This pattern offers endless possibilities for customization and allows you to showcase your creativity. Here's what we'll explore together:
Let's gather all the essentials to get started on our crochet adventure.
Choosing the right yarn is key to creating a soft and cozy baby blanket. I recommend Saver from Ice yarns - Size 4 Worsted Acrylic. I am using a 7.0 mm Hook Size which you can access here!!
Creating the Dirty Granny Baby Blanket Pattern can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on your skill level and the time you dedicate to it.
Yes, you can experiment with different yarn weights to achieve varying textures and sizes for your blanket. Just adjust your hook size accordingly.
While it's a bit more advanced than a basic crochet project, adventurous beginners can certainly give it a try. I recommend having some prior crochet experience.
To make a larger blanket, simply create more granny squares and adjust the size of your final edging.
Absolutely! You can sell blankets made from this pattern.
I'll share my favorite tips for weaving in yarn ends so your blanket looks tidy and professional.
Yes, textured yarn can add a unique dimension to your blanket. Just keep in mind that it may affect the stitch definition, so choose your yarn based on the desired final appearance.
There are several methods for joining granny squares, including slip stitching, single crocheting, or using a whipstitch. Choose the one that suits your style and desired look for your blanket.
To add a pop of color to your granny squares, simply switch to a new yarn color at the desired point in your pattern. Leave a tail of the old color, and when you return to that point, crochet over the tail to secure it.
Absolutely! Adjust the size of your blanket by increasing or decreasing the number of granny squares you create. You can also make it larger by adding more rounds to each square.

Everything I need in one place to be creative and I can photocopy extras of the pages I use most to customise my planning. I use it as my main diary, even for work and upcoming events. It inspires me to focus on my creative pursuits too. Love it!
Love this item going to put little gifts in it on the tree ,just tying in tails.
I am really impressed with the quality of this written pattern as well as the video tutorial. Both are clear and detailed. I am not done with my striped cardigan yet, but it's coming together nicely (though I'm not so sure about my choice to use up yarn I already have with individual stripes!)... so many tails to sew in!! My advice would be to buy self-striping yarn like she does in the video.
Easy to follow pattern! Super base for the rectangle or other larger projects.
Keep the tutorials coming and with written and visual instructions to follow along so beginners can learn. Thank you for your help.
I think there is a mistake in the written pattern. It says to do a half double crochet twice, when it is only supposed to be once
Thank you to the Secret Yarnery for this pattern! Can't go wrong with this one, it really is easy and fast to make - I'm on my 2nd one already and plan to do more! You really don't need to look any further if you're looking to make a scarf - you will not be disappointed. In fact, you'll have fun making it (I did!) Happy crocheting!
Thank you for writing a pattern that is amazingly easy to follow and help me produce a stunning piece!!
Wow! I can't believe I made this beautiful toran. Well, yes I can since I followed this easy pattern! Again, wow! How fun was this to make! Super-duper easy to make and you can be as creative as you like by choosing colours, placement of colours to form pattern(s), number of leaves, etc. so it truly can be personalized for any occasion! Love the Secret Yarnery patterns and tutorials - thank you so much for your time, efforts, and for sharing your talent with the rest of us in the world!
The best pattern & tutorial I have ever come across. Loved how you used the needle to clearly point out where the stitch was to go. Have made 3 hats already. Many more on my to do list. Thanks so much
The yarn world is vast & has several yarn naming & grading systems. This chart really helps to get the right weight of yarn, size of needle, gauge & yardage/meterage when using patterns or yarns from other countries. And it covers both knit & crochet. Thank you for putting together this very useful tool, Secret Yarnery.
I love this pattern. Very easy to follow and fun to make.
