Thank you so much, Jayda! After 7 children and 19 grandchildren, my first great grandchild - a boy - is arriving in September! This blanket will be such a joy to make! 🧶

[@JaydaInStitches]

WOW! Congratulations Carol! 😀

[@AllanCaine]

As I watched your tutorial, the game of Twister flew into my mind. So, I thought of a blanket of rows of red, blue, yellow, and green dots on a uniform background. It wouldn't make such a bad looking blanket I think. Thank you Jayda for yet another perfect tutorial. I really liked it because it's fairly straightforward to crochet. Looking forward to Part 2. 🙂

[@cynthiaclark875]

Hi Jayda, I am making this in DK weight yarn (5 squares by 5 squares. Thank you for this wonderful pattern.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Wonderful! You might find a slightly smaller hook could help if you feel your stitches are a little thin or "gappy" and your squares might work up a bit smaller, but otherwise, the pattern works just perfectly with DK too 💗

Hi Princess Frances! That is NOT an accident 🤣

[@joycepierson6454]

Thank you, Jayda. You are the best teacher! Your polka dot square is exactly what I wanted for my new temp blanket. I wanted a 4 inch so I did only 2 rounds and then your method for squaring and then a border of hdc or 2 rounds of sc for additional color/weather details. I tweaked it for those false stitches by using some standing stitches for joining new colors. Also will use your ladder stitch joining of my 70 squares (7 x 10). Thank you for inspiring me!

[@JaydaInStitches]

You are so welcome! I would love to see your blanket when it's finished!

I know I can add more squares if I want to.
Just wonder if anyone else thinks it's too small or is it just right?

Hi Vicki! Mine work out to roughly 6" across. If you find they're smaller, you can upsize your hook or your yarn weight for a larger square 😊
