So many people say to me that they find random colour placement difficult so if you are one of those people you may find this method useful!
This baby sized blanket was made up of five round granny squares using five colours. I used the colours in the exact same order for every square but just used a different one of the five to start. You end up with five grannies all different but it's a great way to make them without having to stress over which colour to use next because it is always the same order.
You can watch my video explaining in more detail my simple granny square colour placement method here........

For this blanket I used Scheepjes Colour Crafter in
- Tynaarlo
- Alkmaar
- Ameland
- Coevorden
- Barneveld
- (and Sint Niklaus for joining)
I decided to make an extra row to make 30 grannies altogether so once again I just made 5 more grannies in the same colour order and then placed them in the same spots as the first row. I'm not the best at explaining things so here's my layout so that you can hopefully see what I mean!
The squares are joined together with Sint Niklaus using the join as you go method on the sixth round. You can find a video tutorial for this joining method on my You Tube channel here......
I then did a few rows of DC and finished the blanket off with Attic 24's bobble shell edging 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.
Alternatively if you still want to show support simply sharing one of my social media posts, a blog post or one of my videos is really helpful for me and very appreciated
Thank you and happy crocheting!
Faye :)
