Joining the granny squares

I used white yarn to join the flower granny squares, arranging them 4 squares wide by 6 squares long.

1. Lay out all 24 granny squares with the right sides facing up.
   Use locking stitch markers to keep the edges aligned.
2. Join your yarn in the corner of two adjacent squares.
3. Single crochet the squares together, working through the front loops only of the stitches on both squares.

Work one seam at a time until all squares are joined.

Adding a border

I used white yarn for the border.

Round 1:
Chain 2. Make 1 half double crochet in each stitch around the blanket. In each corner, work (hdc, chain 2, hdc).

Rounds 2–6:
Repeat Round 1.

Finishing

Weave in your ends. Block if desired.
