Dadghan or Manghan Granny blanket

By

Make DAD or any man in your life this very manly granny afghan,  The works up really quick do to it's lap size but still looks very handsome. 

Supplies:
J crochet hook
1 jumbo ball of each or about 3 of dark blue, 4 of grey, and royal blue loops and thread impeccable

All grannies are 4 rounds and dc
Here is the way I do grannies, You can o the grannies anyway you feel comfortable.

Round 1- magic circle, ch3 ( counts as first dc) 2 dc into the ring, ch2, 3 dc, ch2, 3dc,  ch2, 3dc, ch2 and slip stitch to join into the  top of the chain 3.

Round 2 Ch 3,2dc, ch2, 3dc ( this is your corner)into the same stitch, work remaining corners: *ch1, skip over the 3 dc from the previous round, (3dc, ch2, 3dc) into the same stitch; repeat from * two more times, ch1, Slip stitch to the 3rd chain for your beginning  dc.

Round 3- Ch 3,  work corner (2dc, ch2, 3dc) into the same stitch, work remaining sides:* ch1, skip over the 3 dc from the previous round, 3dc, ch2, work corner (3dc, ch1, 3dc); repeat from * two more times, ch1, slip stitch into the first stitch.


Round 4- Ch 3,  work corner (3dc, ch2, 3dc) into the same stitch, work remaining sides: *ch1, skip over the 3 dc from the previous round, 3dc, ch2, skip over the 3 dc from previous round, dc3, ch1, work corner (3dc3, ch2, 3dc); repeat from * two more times, ch1, slip stitch  to the beginning chain.

Okay so now that we all know how to make a granny lets go over how many we need of each square!

Make 5 Dark Blue Grannies


Make 8 Grey grannies

Make 12 Royal Blue grannies

The color change squares are a little more time consuming. MAKE SURE you secure and knot  in between rounds when you change colors! Also I find crocheting over my tails saves time!

Make 4 of the followig
Round 1 Dark Blue
Round 2 Royal Blue
Round 3 Grey
Round 4 Dark Blue 

Use the first photo to see the pattern to join them. Using  Dark blue yarn connect the 5 dark blue squares with these 4  squares. There are many ways to join, I put both right sides together and hdc. 



Make eight of these squares
Round 1Grey
Round 2 Royal Blue
Round 3 Dark Blue
Round 4 Grey

See the first photo to see the pattern of which to attach them and your 8 Grey  to your dark blue. Use Grey yarn to attach.


Make 12 of these 

Round 1 Royal Blue
Round 2 Grey
Round 3 Dark Blue
Round 4 Royal Blue

Using the 12 Royal blue squares and these finish your blanket!!! I used Royal blue to join.





 My edging




I used Grey and did 2 rounds of the 9 loop puff stitch 
( unfamiliar with the puff stitch? Insturctions for a puffstitch)
Then with dark blue I did SC around the edge with 5SC in each corner

Would you man, brother, or dad love this? What colors will you use? Comment below!

Turn and *sl to ch2, ch3,2dc, ch2,3dc. *Turn and repeat * repeat everything in this step 3 more times. Cut thread and weave in ends at the ends of the sides. Bottom of the cross When you get to the last side repeat the * section 2 more times for a total of 4 shells for the bottom and 2 shells for the sides not including the center. On the top of the cross attach yarn and chain 26, skip the first 5 and sl to the first chain. Then I added a tassel.
