The Fluffy Granny Mitered Square Blanket is a wonderfully cozy throw to welcome cooler weather. Fluffy, yet light weight yarn is worked up as a traditional granny square, then it transforms into a mitered square…fun and easy! Yarn cakes make the color changes incredibly easy too.

Instructions:
Chain 4, join into a ring with a slip stitch.
Round 1: Chain 4, work (3 dc into center of ring, chain 1) 3 times, then 2 dc into center of ring. Join to close with a slip stitch.
Round 2: To work the corner of round 2, first chain 3, then 2 dc in same space, then chain 1, then 3 dc in the same space…first corner done! Then chain 1, then work the next corner by working 3 dc in next space, chain 1, then 3 dc in same space, chain 1, repeat two more times to complete the round.
Round 3: Work the corner in the same manner as the previous round: chain 3, 2 dc in same space, chain 1, 3 dc in same space, chain 1. To work the sides, simply work 3 dc in the next space then chain 1…repeat until you reach a corner again.
Rounds 4-5 Keep working in this manner, with two clusters in the corners and one cluster on the sides until you finish the round. Just be sure there is a ch 1 in between each grouping of 3 dc as you work each round. That is what gives you those pretty spaces in between each cluster and keeps it nice and flat.
***This is the part where we transform the traditional square into the mitered square. So far we’ve worked rounds, for the mitered part we’ll work rows instead.
Row 6: Tie new yarn into any corner space and ch 3. In the same corner space work (2 dc, ch 1). Work (3 dc, ch 1) in each ch 1 space until you reach the corner. Work 3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc, ch 1) in the corner, then work (3 dc , ch 1) down the next side. At the end of the row, work a dc into the corner space.
Row 7: Tie new yarn into last stitch worked and ch 3. Turn. Work (2 dc, ch 1) into the first ch 1 space. Work (3 dc, ch 1) in each ch 1 space until you reach the corner. Work (3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc, ch 1) in the corner, then work (3 dc, ch 1) down the next side. At the end of the row, work a dc in the top of the turning chain.
Repeat row 7 until blanket is as large as you like (finished blanket in photos is 60 inches by 60 inches).
Weave in any ends that remain and you’re finished!
