So, this pattern is all about using a classic simple granny square design to create a blanket that’s not only cozy but also a real work of art. Louise had some lovely things to say about it:

“Really well written. Finished just in time for my son’s birthday on December 23. It was definitely a labor of love. He asked for a gray Afghan, so I used light, medium, and dark shades, along with ivory.

He knew I was making him something, but had no idea it was going to be a 3D masterpiece.”

Can you imagine his face when he unwrapped that unique granny square motifs? Such a heartfelt gift from his mom, something he’ll treasure forever.

I love how Louise tailored the colors to match her son’s preferences within this simple granny square pattern. It adds that extra personal touch, you know?
