If you’re one of the people that considers leaving a comment to say how much you dislike joining motifs whenever I share a roundup of granny square patterns, then today’s Granny Square Month post is for you! I’ve searched the internet for twenty beautiful (and free) crochet patterns for blankets that are made from one continuous motif. This roundup includes square, rectangular, pentagonal, circular, and star shaped blankets, so you’re sure to find a shape and style to delight you. Some of these patterns include color changes while others are made self-patterning yarns to reduce the number of ends you need to weave in.
