The blanket I just finished is basically 1 giant granny square (well, kind of ;) )<br /><br />So, here is what I know (or at least how I did it)...on the side of the granny square, you do one chain stitch inbetween each of your crochetted gathers (I would do gathers of 3 double crocheted stitchs). <br /><br />On the corners, you stitch 3 double crochetted stiches into the corner, then 2 chain stitches, and then another 3 double crocheted stitches into the same corner space. <br /><br />I hope that makes some sense...I wish I could draw a picture.<br /><br />Good luck!!Lee Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13923140811502868697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4694154539746514597.post-33543141572211996752012-01-04T09:08:59.763-05:002012-01-04T09:08:59.763-05:00I agree with Karen.
