Granny Square Pompom Blanket with Sweet Sharna

Nothing is more satisfying to crochet than the humble granny square. Throw in a pompom or two (well, maybe a few more...) and you've got our granny square pompom blanket - a must-make for all budding crocheters!

We're delighted to have teamed up with instagram crochet-queen, Sweet Sharna, to bring a touch of her gorgeous style to this popular design. Here, Sharna takes you through the steps to learn how to join your granny squares as well as tackling the pompom edging.

To get started, you can find our granny square pompom blanket pattern here.

Sharna used the following yarn to make her blanket:

1 x each of:

Stylecraft Special DK - Cream (1005)

Stylecraft Special DK - Blush (1833)

Stylecraft Special DK - Mustard (1823)

Stylecraft Special DK - Silver (1203)

Stylecraft Special DK - Grey (1099)

Stylecraft Special DK - Clematis (1390)

"The colours I’ve chosen for this blanket are my all-time favourites, using them on their own or mixed together," explains Sharna. "Mustard yellow can make a great statement among a more muted colour scheme, and adding some pretty pink tones gives it that clash that I love. I love the surprise that you get with this unusual colour combo."

Once you have your pattern and yarn, follow these easy steps to complete your granny square blanket.

We hope you enjoy having a go at this blanket. We would love to see your projects in progress, so do come and find us on instagram or Facebook and share your photos with us.

Happy hooking!
