Granny Stitch Corner to Corner Square

This blanket square uses the granny stitch corner to corner square technique to create a unique granny square that could be used to create a whole blanket.

Strawberry Sundae Granny Square

The Strawberry Sundae stitch pattern has been calling out to be transformed into a blanket and what better way than to switch it up and rotate the pattern 45 degrees to make it a corner to corner pattern.

My love of working with the granny stitch remains as strong as ever, and unlike my patterns that use just the granny stitch with the corner to corner technique, this stitch pattern add the granny spike stitch and the v stitch in to create a lightly textured finish.

This stitch pattern has featured in a number of patterns, including the Strawberry Sundae Table Runner and Coaster, and the Strawberry Sundae Hexagon Cardigan too.
