Welcome to Couch Surfer Crochet! We are now on Week 3 of the Stash Buster Granny Square Crochet Along!<\/p>\n
If you are just now joining us, check out the INTRO POST<\/a>.<\/p>\n This blanket pattern is designed to be a stash buster! Each week we will be creating a “SET” number of squares, but it is totally creatively open! Colors are all up to YOU! Each week the pattern is the basic granny square, the unique look comes from when we do color changes on each square.<\/span><\/p>\n If you’ve never heard the term “stash buster” before, it’s when you have LOTS and LOTS of bits of yarn with no idea what to do with them! I designed this pattern with the intention that it would be very colorful and very random. I didn’t want any two squares to look alike. Of course, if you want to make each week of squares exactly the same, that’s totally up to you! I think that would be a stunning finished piece if that’s what you choose to do!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n October 8:\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/strong>Week 1 – 9 squares<\/a> What you will need:<\/strong>Yarn:<\/em> Size 4 (medium weight) yarn.
