Why do we love crochet blankets? Sometimes the simplest things are also the most stunning ones. If you can take your time and really work on the stitch precision and then think over your color combinations, you will be able to create truly Eye-Catching Crochet Blankets. And granny squares are so adaptable because no matter how many blocks you make, you will end up with an afghan anyway. Maybe it will be a baby blanket, or if you go too far, you could have a gorgeous bedspread that will brighten up your room. I`m sure you will fall in love with these designs because they are so stylish and definitely worth the effort.
