Granny Sampler Stroller Blanket

Hot off the Hook!

I came across an intriguing pattern a couple of weeks ago, and was delighted that I had the perfect yarn on hand to give it a try. I’ve made plenty of pretty frilly looking items, so this time I left out the pinks and ruffles and went with blue, yellow and green.

The Rectangular Granny Sampler Blanket worked up quickly and is light and airy, perfect for summer babies. I altered the use of the color in the pattern and I reduced the number of rows to keep the blanket from taking over my lap. My smaller version measures 25″L x 21 “W.

I am delighted with the look. This is a project I’ll be making again, and I think the pattern will be beautiful in heavier weight yarns and with larger hooks. I’m already envisioning Christmas or Easter colors… and a matching pillow!

I would highly recommend this pattern for beginners, but even an advanced crocheter will appreciate the beauty of the details.

Let me know what you think in the comments!
