I’ve been really obsessed with little granny squares lately, they are so versatile and there are so many placement variations when it comes to colour combos. I also love patchwork and one colour little grannies all joined together are great for creating a patchwork effect. Edward is a bold colour scheme, if you’ve followed me for a while you’ll know I favour bold and bright over pastels!

For this blanket I used my favourite Scheepjes Colour Crafter in
- Tynaarlo
- Alphen
- Goes
- Verviers
- Burum
- Coevorden
- Nijmegen
I found planning the colour placement before I started really helped and who doesn’t love a bit of colouring!
Here’s my colour placement plan for this blanket
The squares are joined together using the join as you go method on the third round. JAYG is a lot easier than it sounds and I’m not exaggerating when I say it is life changing!
Here's my video showing you how to do it

I finished the blanket off with a simple few rounds of dc using Tynaarlo
I hope you have found this combo inspiring and I'd love to see how you use it! If you want to you can use hashtag #littledovecolourcombo to share your creations on social media.
My blog is not monetised, I did for around three months introduce google ads to my blog posts however I just wasn't happy with the interruptions to my posts and the general look of it and I know as a reader myself that I much prefer to have a more flowing reading experience so they have now been disabled by choice.
I know some of you do like to in some way support the work that I do and so if you would like to support the time involved in producing the blog and videos and all the information I provide you can do so by 'buying me a coffee' via my Kofi page. I am always extremely touched anytime anybody chooses to do this, thank you.
Thank you and happy crocheting!
