As a crocheter-it may just be the first thing you learn to make. A granny square-as timeless as it is useful. For me the idea of Granny squares conjures up feelings of warmth, love and coziness. It reminds me of the back of Nans chair, holiday evenings and turkey naps. For me, it is quintessentially “Nan”-in a way that isn’t “Grandma-ish” but rather, a fond and knowing way that makes me well up with tears as I write this.

If you are someone who has been hesitant to try the traditional granny square blanket because colour combinations can be overwhelming, then this is the project for you! I’ve curated the colours, written out every single combination for you and included a handy chart so you know the exact placement of the squares. Now you can make the exact blanket as in the photos.

In keeping with the Nautical theme and having it remind me so much of a blanket you’d find at the cottage… I decided to name it the Dockside Squares Throw. I hope it conjures feelings of late summer/early autumn warmth, cool, cozy evenings, the gentle sound of water lapping at the dock and most importantly love. Love of colour, love of craft, love of crochet, love of squares and love to whomever receives this heirloom piece.
