The pattern for the blocks are as follows:

Using a 5.50 mm hook and DK yarn

I used 400g of white and 400g of dark pink, 300g of light pink.

Gauge:

7 hdc and 5 rows = 2 inches


Pattern:

Each block without border should measure 10.5 x 12 inches
Each block with border should measure 11.5 x 13 inches.

Blocks

Make 6 white, 6 dark pink.

Row 1: Ch 36, hdc in 3rd ch from the hook and across. (35 hdc)

Row 2-30: Ch 2, turn. Hdc across. (35 hdc)

Ch 1, turn. 3 sc into the corner, sc in next 33 st, 3 sc into the corner, place 36 sc evenly down the side of the block, 3 sc into the corner, sc in next 33, 3 sc into the corner, 36 sc evenly back up the side. Join to first sc with a sl st. Finish off and weave in ends.

Granny Square Border For Each Block.

Join yarn in a corner space, Ch 3, 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc into the first corner. *{ch 1, skip 2 stitches, 3 dc into next st} repeat until corner. 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc into corner space* Repeat around block. Join to first dc with a sl st and finish off.

Finish off, weave in ends as you go

Joining blocks together:

There are many ways to join blocks together but for this blanket I wanted it to look girly and have a slightly open look about it so I searched for the best tutorial and found this http://carinascraftblog.wardi.dk/2009/06/granny-square-joining-tutorial.html

Border for entire blanket:

Using the same granny square pattern as the border for the blocks but going into each ch sp (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) into each corner. 3 dc, ch 1 in each ch space. I did 3 more rounds of light pink, 1 round of white, 1 round of dark pink. For the last round I did a double v stitch. A great tutorial for this can be found here:
